Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews with 51 IT workers, this study argues that the nature and content of work are less relevant than circumstances, situational conflicts and social interactions in constituting work and its experiences. Thus, the study suggests that relocation of business activities or its expansion does not render work as utopian or precarious only by itself; it is also co-constructed as such by the offshore players.- Reproduced   aEchnography, Grounded theory, IT employment, Of shoring, Work experience 934973  aManagement and Labour Studies    aEMPLOYMENT  cAR  00102ddc40709395350aIIPAbIIPAd2023-01-03h47(4), Nov, 2022: p.448-469pAR127821r2023-01-03yAR
