Hahahaha, yeah, hiring overseas is a great way to skimp on payroll. In my experience, it’s also a great way to skimp on quality, effectiveness, and sanity. We just got rid of one guy who, immediately after hiring, asked for an RTO exemption for a newborn child; fine, it was granted. When that expired, still refused. Was counseled on it and their low quality of work. Then tried having someone else attend their meetings, was called on it, and resigned. Pretty sure they were trying to subcontract their job to work multiple full-time jobs.

Seeing more and more of this domestically.

People are recognizing that their relationship with their employer is exploitative and are trying to return that energy.

I've worked with a few people recently that clearly were holding multiple jobs or were much more focussed on their side hustle.

Symptom of a bigger issue in my opinion.

Could it have been Jesus that said "Those who live by the free market shall die by the free market?"

I like how his expression of inspiration / passion is destructive (running through a wall). It's very on brand.

Yeah, I hate the exploitative nature of overseas hiring, just colonialism with a fresh coat of paint. I also dislike their in-person requirement of two days per week. As has been noted elsewhere in this thread, there is a good, non-exploitative use case in providing overnight coverage for US-based orgs so that no one has to work night shifts. I’ve done both, and it’s hard to get and keep good people on a night shift, regardless of where they live.

I’m all for doing the minimum to stay employed, but in this case I was told the employee didn’t, so not only were they not meeting even a low bar, but they were exploiting someone else in turn to do it.
