After companies realize they can pay people lower to work remotely.

They’ll quickly figure out they can pay people even less to work remotely..... from Mumbai.

It’s already being done for the most back office and mundane jobs

Yeah that's been happening for a long time. Effective communication is valuable to some companies, to others not so much.

Meh, some will go this route, others who care about quality and data safety won’t.

This will happen for about three months then the normal IT recruitment cycle will kick in and developers will shop their services around the country, drive up salaries to insane levels and continue to work from po-dunk Mississippi.

This will go on until the company decides the employee can work from home in Mumbai at a fraction of the cost.

I don't understand why people can't figure this out. There a billion Indians, you don't think some of them are as qualified as the average American? Wfh will end or lead to outsourcing no in between..

I am surprised at how many people aren't getting this. So many friends working from home now and say their employers are considering making it permanent. They are thrilled with it.

I tell them you aren't thinking this through. Pretty soon you will be just employee #107 that logs in and does work. Hmm, they can replace you with someone in India, at 1/3 the cost, no benefits, and no HR problems to deal with?

Better fight to get back into the office.
