By The Numbers - part the eighty third

Well... Kim Don-Felon and his Merry Band of Fascists are going full speed to turn the USofA into Hungary, or worse yet, Russia. The Gang of Six are to blame. The latest (hard to tell, of course) is the R.T.O. demand. Turns out, RTO saves money

[A] typical U.S. employer can save an average of $11,000 per half-time telecommuter per year.

Of course it does. Now, the usual paranoid-schiz manager assumes that his worker bees are just as lazy bastards as he is; after all, managers don't actually produce anything.

And the whole RTO fixation ignores the elephant in the room: office work has been off-shored at least as long as parts-assembly. The paranoid-schiz CxO class doesn't worry about all those Indians coding and radiology reviews.

Here's some numbers on how much office off-shoring goes on.

[S]ome economists that actually think this is a new era and that a lot of, maybe even 10% or 20%, of all service jobs could ultimately be moved overseas.

"Hey Hoss, get me some bargain basement darkie accountants. Real soon, now, here!"

RTO, my red sphincter.
