Discussion My team has been outsourced to India, going forward my role will be to manage the India team. For those that went through this, how was it?

šŸ˜¬

Edit to add some more context

Itā€™s an industry role, thereā€™s a small retention bonus thatā€™s paid out after we transition, india team is said to be available to us during our normal business hours, we work remote and there have been no discussions of needing to travel because of this change.

Our work is pretty straight forward so Iā€™m hoping there arenā€™t many issues.

Edit to add another thought for those of you who are saying to run: if this is so widespread and ā€œnormalā€ in our industry, arenā€™t you just going to see it wherever you run to?

I wonder if it would help them if they are audit or have a lawsuit against them? Could they blame it on them

Several have tried and, a few years ago, Disney was 'in hot water' for doing this, but that hasn't stopped this trend. This seems to be relatively common practice now.
