I work in for the IT arm of a US bank. We've got a huge backlog of work so we had to add five engineers. All five are contract hires from Mexico or Dominican Republic. They've done a good job so far but are undoubtedly getting paid less than us American employees. Folks who were laid-off and new grads are pitted against worldwide cheaper labor. Not a good time to be looking for a job.

If someone in India can do your job as well as you either A. You aren’t good enough at your job or B. You have a devalued skill set

I'm way more worried about AI.

The overseas people we've hired...Not that great.

Work from home has made it easier to replace domestic workers with cheaper overseas labor. This trend will continue.

Sounds like you are pro socialism.

This should go well for you here.

Trump and Putin are trying to save us from this fate, but the woke crowd just will not listen...

Somebody missed globalization the last 2+ decades, aye?

Heads up, typewriters have a shelf life. You have been warned.

No, they just pay them less. Any job regardless of skill that they can possibly pay them less, they will do it. More "skill sets" will be devalued increasingly.

This is hilarious that people buy this shite. There isn't a billionaire in the world who is truly against globalization. But since he said it he must be the only one because he is the one politician who never lies.
