My company did some outsourcing. It was terrible, and not as cheap as they thought.

They tried to replace a team of 8 US personnel who supported a main workflow application. The vendor wanted to replace us with 19 resources. I think they finally settled for 12. Also, a few of those resources had to be on-shore to do the PRD support because of restrictions in the financial and PII data. The resources continuously cycle through those contract jobs so they don't retain very much expert knowledge on the system.

At least I got a different job at the same company. It's too bad they threw away my expertise and I basically had to start my career all over again (it was obscure/rare tech).
