Forced to Train Overseas Replacements During Outsourcing
remote team managementoffboardingoutsourcingknowledge transferemployee rights
Summary
Employees whose positions are eliminated due to outsourcing are increasingly expected to train their overseas replacements during their notice period, without additional compensation or fair severance. This creates severe emotional distress, a sense of betrayal, and an unfair burden, especially in remote teams where the replacement may be in a different time zone. There are no clear legal protections or company policies to support employees in this situation, leaving them with no good options.
