as someone who works with both US and offshore (India and Philippines) employees, let me give my perspective:

our US employees are highly tenured and high-salaried. with that tenure comes a sense of entitlement and complacency. many of them feel more like they are owed their jobs and their paychecks, and do nothing to protect their jobs, except complain when their pay increase isn't what they expected, or whine when we raise their goals. of course, many of them also strive to always do better, and those are the ones that have a bright future. but many do not.

our offshore employees are bright, driven, willing to work hard, and want to grow within their jobs. we also pay them less than half of the US people.

btw, our offshore operations are primarily call centers, and i'm not saying that anyone here is lazy or complacent. i'm just saying that this is what companies are seeing, and that's why it's a good idea for them to have offshore operations.

do i think that as i move operations outside the US, that eventually my job might be moved offshore as well? yes. but it's happening anyway, and my responsibility to my boss and our shareholders is to maximize the returns and the growth of the company.
