It's called out sourcing, So it is 100% not dependent of the employee performance it is based on the ability to out source to save money 100% of the time.

This is why Labor Unions are good :) BUT most people these days look at them negatively sadly.

Outsourcing rarely saves money. And while we can argue in how many percent of cases outsourcing ends up being cheaper than retaining your current experienced engineers, I am certain that number would never equal 100%.

I am certainly NOT a fan of out sourcing. My School District did that with Substitute Teachers due to low pool. Guess what it failed at its reasoning 100%.

I'm not sure that outsourcing is the appropriate term, at least not in the usual sense, when your replacement is brought in to sit in your exact chair.

If they out source the IT Department (My work did that 15 years ago) the Department location does not change physical locations nor do the desk.
