threats to job security, constant change, tight deadlines, micro management, harrassment, discrimination and lack of promotional opportunity”.
These are typical factors that “stress” supposedly can result from.
If these problems are rife in the organisation, then few people, if anyone, will be noticing even if outsourcing is occurring. Everyone in the Sydney office may be thinking “there are 64 people in the Canberra office making sure that all the functionality in the software is really present, so the project is going ok”.
But if people have the stresses mentioned in the question, there won’t be a critical mass of people who might notice if for example the 64 positions in Canberra were about to be replaced by three positions to rubber-stamp everything.


It’s my opinion that outsourcing is all about the money. I believe that corporations will go where ever they can get the cheapest labor. I’m not against unions, but I believe that being able to strike for higher wages, then actually doing it, has contributed the most to outsourcing jobs. Did you notice how much higher in cost groceries became after the Safeway workers struck and got a fatter benefits package? I did. Corporations are in business for the sole purpose of making money. If they can make more by outsourcing that’s what they will do (have done).
i guess so but i am not shore
Maybe, I don’t know
