This is the official propagandy narrative, in my experience it was mostly just outsourcing to other continents.
New manager would come in, move the work over to a remote consulting company they were associated with, then start firing/laying off people.
In retrospect maybe I should have seen if I could have done that myself I bet the kickbaccks from the overseas consulting companies were notable. You'll end up without a job either way might as well cash in on it.
