Have you actually worked at a company that outsources part of their workforce to India? The workload of the remaining local workers often increases considerably to make up for the mistakes, some of the work has to be redone entirely, directions have to be spoonfed to the outsourced teams to get any kind of result. This has been my experience and that of many people who have had the misfortune of experiencing that sort of outsourcing at their workplace.

Western companies often take short-term counterproductive actions to decrease their costs at the cost of product quality and long-term viability, it's nothing new.
