I had something like this happen at a corp I once worked at. The CTO said they were going to outsource their entire datacenter and support staff to India.
I literally laughed in his face and obviously, got fired (always have 6-8 months of salary as an emergency fund, ahem-).
I won't name the company but when half the Internet went down and a few major services? Yeah, it was that asshat driving and running between the datacenters realizing people in Bangladesh can't do shit for you physically.
It's like that graph: "Say we want to fuck around at a level 8, we follow this axis, and we're going to find out at around a level 7 or 8"
I visited a company that outsourced its IT to India. We were delayed 24 hours because the guy who could whitelist our computer on their network was asleep. It was the middle of the night where he lived.
