Why Outsource When Workers are Willing to Telecommute?

Posted by Cliff on from the is-cheaper-code-always-better? dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Corporations and management resisted telecommuting for years, now jobs flow to distant nations. Did telecommuting become acceptable because of the greater distance? Because some form of on-site management persists? Because labor laws are favorable? Because a well paid middle class is a political threat? Is it really as simple as money? I'll work cheaper if I can choose where I live and work. Must I leave my country to do so?"

    I don't understand how the first fucking post can be redundant. Howz dat for moderator stupidity.

    or because multiple posts said near the same thing, and different people liked different versions better, and modded the rest redundant. I'm waiting for the first real AI to be used as a universal moderator here to remove human frailty from that position...

    Because a well paid middle class is a political threat?

    Ah! It's a vast rich-wing conspiracy! Silly me not to see the class warfare in all of this.

    Good grief...
