Is there an end to offshoring?

I envy those who can quit
I'm really not in that position - we are tied here through my wife's job for several more years, so no moving before then. And there are few other options nearby. Being laid off would work perfectly for me, but so far no luck there. I'd volunteer... — read more
Amazing to hear all the people say "we all do things differently" and "it'll take them forever to learn". That was the problem with GIS..

Offshore executives
Someone should start an offshore outsourced C-suite capability. Think of how much money could be saved by offshoring directors, VPs, Presidents. Since quality doesn’t matter in software or infrastructure, why would it matter in “leadership”?
