RedScrubs Weekly Wrap-up 8-22-2008
I was speaking with a colleague the other day who was telling me that he was being “re-assigned” because his job was being in-sourced. He went on to explain to me that instead of sending the functions out of the country, it was being done by a company in Iowa.
I started thinking about this for a second; is this the future? Will more administrative functions be sent to other organizations within our country instead of abroad? Will we have fewer employees at our companies and more vendors? When I need a procedure, will the Surgeon live in San Francisco and operate remotely?
I just thought his situation was compelling to mention, for we never know what the future may hold. Speaking of compelling, I had better announce the winner before I get outsourced.
