The US Is Becoming a Hot Spot For Outsourcing (bendbulletin.com) 172
New submitter cdreimer shares a report from The New York Times (Warning: may be paywalled; alternate source) about how companies are now outsourcing in the United States, hiring from Michigan instead of Mumbai. From the report: For years, American companies have been saving money by "offshoring" jobs -- hiring people in India and other distant cubicle farms. Today, some of those jobs are being outsourced again -- in the United States. Nexient, a software outsourcing company, reflects the evolving geography of technology work. It holds daily video meetings with one of its clients, Bill.com, where team members stand up and say into the camera what they accomplished yesterday for Bill.com, and what they plan to do tomorrow. The difference is, they are phoning in from Michigan, not Mumbai. "It's the first time we've been happy outsourcing," said Rene Lacerte, the chief executive of Bill.com, a bill payment-and-collection service based in Palo Alto, Calif. Nexient is a domestic outsourcer, a flourishing niche in the tech world as some American companies pull back from the idea of hiring programmers a world away. Salaries have risen in places like South Asia, making outsourcing there less of a bargain. In addition, as brands pour energy and money into their websites and mobile apps, more of them are deciding that there is value in having developers in the same time zone, or at least on the same continent.

Most importantly, if the work is submitted and doesn't do what was agreed, being in a position to say 'we both know you understood the exact requirements, this work doesn't meet those requirements, please fix it until it does what we agreed'.

Now if your argument is *lucid*, something like "Outsourcing is a bad idea", then there's a lot to talk about there.
If manufacturing collapsed because we started treating people better, then I think it makes it rather clear what manufacturing companies did to gain profit: they paid their staff shit and treated them like shit. Most of these people were also desperate and the plant was likely one of the only employers big enough to employ everyone. Should we be rewarding these companies for cutting corners on human treatment? Maybe we can get more Foxconns on the news. How far does it have to go before you think workers deserve consideration?
Now that people know they have rights, it's made labor harder to get and nigh impossible to keep.

Employers dug themselves that grave, and they'll have to lay in it.

I know most of the people posting here are looking at the issue of offshoring through the lens of a worker, who risks losing his job to someone in a low-cost labour jurisdiction, most likely India.
Well, there's another angle to the issue, but the conclusions are surprisingly the same.
I'm an employer - I have dozens of developers working for me, plus QA, doc, customer support, etc. We serve many large corporations, many of whom have outsourced some or all of their IT, usually to Indian firms.
The results are *awful.* Indian IT talent is singularly incapable of accomplishing work.
Before some of you start laying accusations of racism, let me first say a few things:
* We have some folks from India in our team in North America. They are totally fine.
* Some of the Indian folks we deal with in India are very smart.
* Probably the smartest person I've ever met (during grad school) was from IIT in India.
So I'm pretty confident in saying that yes, I'm biased against Indian IT outsourcing, but not against Indian people per-se.
So what's the problem?
I think it's culture. I'm definitely biased against Indian work culture, based on long experience dealing with its problems.
What's wrong with that culture?
#1. Extreme labour mobility. People who are smart and skilled tend to change jobs every 6-12 months. That means that by when they've learned to do a particular job, they stop doing it and move somewhere else for a 20% or 30% pay hike. This means that the smart ones never get any work done. Conversely, the not-so-smart ones stay in the same job for longer ... but they aren't productive because they aren't the best talent.
#2. It's all about blame. Indian IT workers hate making decisions, because if they make a mistake, they might get fired, and they need the income to be steady - no social safety net as far as I can tell. So they don't make decisions. They don't sign off on design documents. They aren't decisive, not because they are personally incapable, but because the culture punishes risk takers. Instead, they escalate and blame, escalate and blame, never contributing or taking ownership. This is a huge productivity killer.
#3. Brain drain. Life in India is hard. Brutal weather, shitty infrastructure, large cities with congestion and pollution, corrupt politics, security problems in the streets, poor sanitation and therefore disease. The best minds can and do leave. You'll find better Indian talent in the West than in India, because it's possible to move and desirable to move away.
So why do firms keep off-shoring?
a. Decisions are made by clueless accountants who think that hourly wages are a predictor of total cost and that people in different work cultures and time zones are functionally interchangeable. This is all nonsense, but decision makers believe it.
b. Kickbacks and corruption in the West. I haven't personally seen an Indian firm pay off decision makers to send them business, but I have to assume it happens.
c. Lemmings. Many decision makers are clueless so they just follow trends to cover for their own ineptitude. It's trendy to off-shore.
d. Scale. If you need to hire 1000 people next week, you could probably do it in Bangalore, but you certainly can't in Boston. They'll be 1000 minimally productive people, but you can hire them.
So why is 'off-shoring' turning into 'near-shoring'? Because some decision makers are waking up to the incessant disaster that is Indian IT outsourcing. Instead, it's better to send things to Romania, or Latin America, or the US rust belt, or Canada. Of course, none of that is easy, because you can't hire 1000 people at a go and there aren't huge IT outsourcing businesses that can quickly take on your needs, but on the other hand when you do finally get things going, you might actually get work done.
