This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Man, techworkers are really into getting laid off huh?
Jokes aside, why is this happening so much recently?
Now that "everyone" works from home, a lot of companies figure it cost a lot less to hire Indians to do that than Americans.
This isn't accurate. Outsourcing tech jobs has been a thing since the 90s. It rarely works at scale which is why it never stuck around. It's just as risky today as it was back then.
