I wanted to get people's take on hiring global employees vs. hiring U.S. employees.
For example: I have an assistant (Bonnie) - she is a decent worker. She does what she needs to do to get by, but a truly feel that I should get more out of her at the $18 p/ hour rate that she gets. When you include her payroll, paid time off, benefits, and various other costs - I really end up paying about $4,000 each month for Bonnie.
My alternative is to let Bonnie go and hire a global assistant instead. My all-in cost for this employee is only $1092 a month... working the same amount of hours and doing the exact same work. In fact - I can actually afford to hire 4 of these employees and produce 4 times better than I was before with Bonnie at the exact same expense... my productivity would go through the roof! I will produce more revenue and get things done more efficiently.
What do you guys think would be best in this situation? I look forward to hearing responses.
