> let’s be honest, its actual purpose—is that workers get a lot less out of their jobs than they used to.

Do you really belive there is a collective of business owners who thought "yeah, let's outsource everything, because f..k employees"?

Obviously it's about specialization. Why a software house should hire a cleaning lady? They are not in the business of cleaning, they know nothing about it and they don't want to even think about how you go about hiring someone for cleaning.

Or the other way around. Should a cleaning company hire software developers? They would fail so hard at it. Not to mention the frustration.

It is also about the time consuming reality of being an employer. You have to advertise jobs, find applicants and hire someone, cover holidays and sickness, deal with poor performance. All of that takes time.

I honestly think that having people in house to do these kind of jobs can be a benefit. A good receptionist for example can be a real asset. But they are hard to find.
