Smart. Trying to save costs on IT gets bad results every time. It's a necessary part of the business.
Technology
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I think it's a cycle. Some hotshot MBA and says why are we paying so much in engineers! Outsource! So they do, quality tanks, everything goes to shit, and it takes years to recover. MBA meanwhile has already gotten their bonus, the new Audi, and left for another job. The company slowly rehires expensive talent and they start picking up the pieces, years behind.
And then some hotshot MBA comes in...
That was the '10s. These days they skip hiring the contractors and just... don't have staff. It's working fine after all, and we need to cut costs somewhere.
I feel this in my soul, and I don't even work IT. ;-;
Trump, are you paying attention?
Regulation over data governance is what drives local investment, not tariffs.
I’m pretty sure they will just switch from contractors to full time employees for regulatory reasons while keeping chunk of their operations in India, Poland and Philippines as it is now.
Data governance is a joke in most companies (one of things I do is being data steward in a bank) and I don’t think they’re going to change it this way.
