>As you can imagine, there's a year+ backlog of work, it keeps building up, and more than half the week is spent fixing stuff they broke, or being tier 2/3 support for them because they can't read logs and have no idea what to do except press the Enter key to run the automation we created for them.

That's wild. I worked at IBM the last few years and our offshore team was always harder working and better performing than the onshore team. Those guys work crazy long shifts for way less money.

The real shit was the onshore team's work, which had to be fixed overnight by the offshore guys most weeks. Not saying every team is like that but offshore guys can be smart too. But its hard for them to leave their whole family network behind to come here for a better job.
