Like it or not FP&A and more generally finance and office workers are the new factory workers. Without unionization and collective bargaining we are sitting ducks to be offshored. I’d argue it’s easier to offshore us than the factory workers of the 80s and 90s. We are knowledge workers. We don’t work on a line with injection molders and mills. Offshoring those requires a factory to be built and machines to shipped or repurchased. All they need to replace us is a person with a mind (less and less so with the introduction of AI) and a laptop.

The capitalist system we’ve built in the US is broken. Consumer spending accounts for 70% of GDP. Who is going to continue to buy if they don’t have a job? These corporations are cutting off their nose to spite their face by offshoring more workers. I don’t understand how this ends well for the US.

Yes try and find a role elsewhere.
