Probably you should then have looked at the dog joke on the top. If I DONT want to do stupid work beleive me , I will work very hard to find smart ways to NOT do your stupid work. In other words I will be the absolute lazy programmer whose output is so good that it scares their manager to the point of insecurity. These are the kind of people that wants “their” team back in office. Again something very stupid but it is a viscous circle…

If that’s how you work, it’s in your interest to keep the stupid going.

Look at what happened to COBOL people. Eventually, the bean counters figure it out, and “work from home” becomes, “work from the Philippines” at 1/5 the cost.

Actually COBOL skills has still very strong demand…

WFH is not outsourcing. And outsourcing is not offshoring. Folks mix up things all the time because they don’t know.
