My old company succeeded. Telus Communications. What they did differently, and I hope other businesses don't catch on to this any time soon, is that they needed to build a dedicated branch office in Manilla. Not just a contracting service, but a full on branch office that has all the remote infrastructure they need built right in. Then they realized during the pandemic after they sent all domestic staff home that there was effectively no difference from a remote deployment standpoint between domestic staff and Manilla staff. Now they're laying off most domestic staff, or use the capital they've freed up to offer buyouts. They've basically nearly killed off one of the strongest domestic unionized workforces in Canada with aggressive offshoring and contracting. It's sad to see.
