Quit with the "any job that can be done remotely can be done offshore" BS. The truth is any job short of face to face retail can be offshore. And those f2f jobs can be swapped out with a self-help kiosk. Companies aren't keeping jobs here to benefit us. They're doing it because the cost of offshoring and kiosks is still just a tiny bit higher than abusing onshore staff to get the work done. Regardless of pushback, eventually those costs will tip in the companies favor, and they'll unload youand me faster than you can spell RTO. Maybe faster if a big jump forward in AI happens.
Came across this post as I was scrolling through our board. I think it deserves its own thread. Found at @bd+1jgpx64eq.
