The English Language has assimilated many new words and terms. People refer to “googling” as if it is a verb in everyday language. Many IT professionals refer to being “Off-shored” as the event where management fires you and gives your work to someone in a far away country (e.g. India) who is willing to work for a fraction of your salary. I recently heard about “on-shoring” – when the off-shore project fails and they bring it back! The threat of being off-shored brings up many emotions (e.g. fear & anger) among many IT professionals. One of my colleagues recently went to India to work on off-shoring some work. This friend had a different perspective that made me stop and think. Is off-shoring good for us? What should our reaction be? Maybe it’s time for a paradigm shift
