As a paralegal, it would be wise to consider the potential risk of outsourcing your job. The firm may indeed be able to generate significant cost savings by outsourcing, which could eventually lead to layoffs or reduced job security for paralegals. It would be best to think about your options and potentially look for alternative opportunities if necessary. Ignoring the threat of outsourcing may not be the most appropriate attitude in this situation.
