Well I am quite glad I jumped ship. Lena never works out well for staff. Especially higher paid front line staff like in store techs certified on all hardware and software.
That will all be outsourced to the “depot” we sent some things to in my time. Just like Starbucks did in 2009.

It’s really hard to explain the degree to which Republicans run Texas. Nothing in the state is really designed to have Democrats holding any office, including all of the businesses that run the state, since they’ve outsourced all the government functions. Everyone is going to spend money for Paxton.

As Labour have just made tens of thousands of backroom NHS staff redundant (myself included) many of whom's job was to keep an eye on outsourced services, I remain extremely sceptical.

I don't think he ever understood how to "do" politics, so he outsourced this to people like McSweeney. He was vaguely "progressive" but had no political antenna and certainly no ideology. As others suggest, he thought leadership was simply managerialism, which it's not. It was a tragic combination

"Diplomacy is outsourced to people like Witkoff and Kushner – private citizens with business interests and no Senate confirmation, negotiating with none of the oversight or institutional backing that makes diplomacy credible. It’s improvisation, run by whoever has the president’s ear that week."

On one level this strongly reminds me of the UK based producers & commissioners of animated shows who outsourced much of the production work abroad to much cheaper areas & seemed to happily approve an obviously lower standard of animation than they'd ever allow from a UK/European studio.

“He repeatedly outsourced his intellectual labor and then tried to pass off work that wasn’t his under his name. Even if it wasn’t human work, passing work that is not your own off … still constitutes clear plagiarism — probably the very worst academic violation a faculty member can commit.”
Moyse: Fire Provost Santiago Schnell
Reporting has provided ample evidence of Provost Schnell’s inexcusable actions, which are symptomatic of broader problems with the administration’s fetishization of AI.

Here's a different way to look at it. A June 2026 CEPR study of 26,811 students found the exam losses sat with the 80% of AI users who outsourced homework; the AI users who actually did the work lost little on the test scores. The task design can prevent offloading.

It will just all go to servicing the rent we have to pay on all the buildings and services the state has outsourced.
The cuts keep coming because rent is set by how much the state can afford to pay.
It's always "tough choices" for citizens and not the people extracting wealth from the state.
