Are you at greater risk of your job being relocated to a lower-cost location just because you are remote?
I’ve been working remotely, and now my employer has outsourced my job to India. My boss said that since I’m not coming into the office, they might as well as find someone who can do my job for a third of the cost. Is this a trend? If I look for another remote job, am I going to be out of work again?
Companies have been doing this for decades — evaluating how to optimize the cost of talent by locating different teams and functions where they can find a good source at the best cost. Even within the US, companies evaluate locations based on available talent and cost of living, but I don’t think you are at greater risk of that job being relocated to a lower-cost location just because you are remote.Shutterstock
