So if I can outsource most of my functions to another country and pay 75% less, should I also give my US staff a 75% pay cut? [/quote]

Why wouldn't you?  Or just get rid of them entirely and outsource everything.  If you could achieve the same result for a lower price, you should do that.  And a public company is legally obligated to do this if it is in the best interest of the shareholders.

I'll never understand the love of working at home on this forum.  People are just demonstrating the ease with which their jobs can be outsourced.  I worked at home for two years out of necessity and hated it.  I like having work-life separation, and I'm a shy introvert who benefits from seeing actual people in person at work.  I also made the choice to live downtown within walking distance of my job, so working at home cost me real money  (lights, heat, etc., plus dedicating some of my apartment space to my employer without being paid for it.

If working at home works for you, that's great, but there are many of us who hated it.  As soon as the pandemic was more-or-less over (February), I left that job and took an in-person job.  It was one of my better decisions.[/quote]
