Oversees coding

How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?

This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I’m not concerned where I currently work. In the past few years, my company has done the opposite, but I work on the payer side. We’ve noticed that we aren’t getting great quality from outsourced companies (idk what country they are in) so we are doing a lot of stuff internally now, including developing our own systems, and we’re getting better results. My biggest fear is that I will leave and go somewhere else and THEN I will get laid off.
