Relatively uncommon, but it does happen.

You’d probably need to go to a smaller company. Salesforce or Oracle wouldn’t take you.

Really? I have 7 years of experience using salesforce, implementing it at a department level as well…not sure if that makes a difference?

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced. The timeframe for the full transition of all work to the vendors is approximately 6 months. This is the second time in 14 months I have had to look for another position due to outsourcing of work. Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?
