  "because work is being delivered" This is debatable. My company now mandates all contractors sourced via one specific firm, and more recently that 70% of contractors are located "offshore", which in practice means India. Of the 5 contractors they have placed, I've let 4 go for performance reasons. Even at the rates they're getting paid (about 25% what a domestic resource would get) they're net-negative value.

    There are great developers in India, but they get a lot more than 25% of US salaries. Great developers in Germany are cheaper than India - but labor rules in Germany are weird.

    redhat openshift is partly developed by this work. I know its not great. the "engineers" working there are afraid to touch the code even beyond whats asked of them. > This is debatable work is being delivered is relative, not talking about good work or great work. its average at best. The debate you want to do maybe is if this is better than call center scams
