Based on what a senior leaders spilled over 4000 were/are being let go from Wednesday to Friday. On par with the fall 2020 cuts plus some.
NatGen the biggest chunk and an entire site in India included.
They had to delay the cuts to add more heads to the block. This was supposed to happen in October and before the third quarter numbers being announced.
Another round in Q1 27.
11-11-26 Patterson Companies laid off a number of IT resources including a number of combat veterans. It is especially troubling that it happened on Veterans Day. Clearly an oversight by the HR Team. Rumor is that Patterson will be outsourcing IT work to India.
The email Sarah bellis sent out today where she shared her recent trip (AGAIN) to India and said she is excited for 2027 with that team made me realize that its not AI that we are at risk of losing our jobs to, but offshoring. Look at the significant recent hiring taking place in India right now. All the hiring seems to be taking place from October and November, which would lead me to believe this also ties into the VRSP for February, right when all the newly hired teams from India would be done with training. Looks like they can get away with paying people a salary of $4,000 a year. Thoughts?
All of legaltech engineering will be made redundant. Legaltech products go to India where they die in maintenance mode.
More false news, no layoffs there today
We are hearing some got promotions and some are told you will be part of the next laylof list as a good will by some managers
Inside News - In india - majorly South indians employees are going to laid off!!
See this week
100% confirmed, managers have the list
It’s easier to fight the system from the inside. It breaks my heart knowing all of the jobs being sent to India when it’s Americans’ money in US Bank. Is that what Americans want no matter who the bank is?
We had outsourcing to Hyderabad then Bogota, where are the US jobs going next????
Seriously, was on a call and a third of people were in LATAM.
I've seen and heard of almost every single L7+ leader of people in the company that work with TII is visiting the new campus in India from beginning of October through January. Does anyone have any info on why? There's absolutely no reason for them to be flying so many people out just to tour a new shiny campus. Feels like more of our work is shifting to TII.
Curious if anyone knows whether the commercial banking/UW statement spreading team will be eventually forced to RTO? This team's primarily been work from home and job postings still seem to be remote for most part
Any rumors of this group eventually being outsourced to India? Anyone from this group have any insights?
How is a company based in the US having the majority of its workers based in India?
What is the ratio? 1:20? There has to be a law against this. Also with other companies doing this, what do they expect the millions of SWE getting laid off to do? This will backfire badly, in everyone’s faces.
No hate to Indians btw.. they want to work just like us. I’d take the job without any hesitation if the roles were flipped.
Now we hear the news that Bank Of Ireland is leaving Kyndryl what does that mean for all of us on the account we are so many, and will it be us who suffer not the leaders who lost the account?
Looks like they are pushing recent hires outside for false excuses.... India powered Japanese company , this is NTT , You're welcome
:)
Today would have been a good day to be allowed to work from home. It would have been nice for Fidelity to give us the day to do our civic duty and vote. If you look at India, they get the day out of work on election days. Heck, we'll take a work from home day, we don't need the entire day off. That would have been a nice gesture.
At this point they should move head quarters to India. It’s becoming extremely frustrating and slow working with this new model where everything is either being transferred to India or AI.
On a scale of 1 to 10 when it comes to corpo BS generator, that email was 100. "will reconsider where work is performed. "global capabilities more effectively." AKA, outsourcing to India.
Many of you may have noticed an increase in divisive content on LinkedIn lately. It’s become a near-daily occurrence in my feed. One recent post on offshoring roles to India stood out, and I’ve shared the link below for anyone interested.
My view: the talent in India is strong. But the strength of a talent pool doesn’t guarantee the quality of the people a contracting firm assigns to your engagement. Outcomes depend on how vendors are selected, how talent is vetted, and how the work is governed. Those are the questions organizations should be asking.
Enjoy the read, several employees have liked the post and a tip of the cap to their courage.

A friend of mine at Shell told me they started the India BTC trend so are a few years ahead of us on the journey. She said they have tried and failed to make it work and are starting to back away from the model as their data tells them it isn’t working and they have tried and failed to make it work. Anyone else hearing the same?
Check out the jobs moving to India. Good luck surviving what is coming.

So 80 medium business and small business ISRs in India came to work yesterday morning and were fired on the spot.
I have heard there were layoffs on the India Dev side but have not heard anything about US layoffs yet. My manager disclosed that she believes it will happen on other teams but no one is sure of the full impact. Has anyone else heard anything?
Announced today that UK MB sales Director is leaving at the end of the week. Was based in Ireland where most of the UK MB team are and she managed the rest of MB who were in India and would travel over there.
She's gone as are 80+ MB and SB staff in India. They were told today and gone today.
MB and SB to merge in the UK and Brian Horsborough to lead it all.
There will be mass layoffs due to outsourcing jobs to India (Genpact). Nobody in the media is talking about this. They are shipping our jobs there and every company that's doing that should be charged a tax or some other form of payment as they are collecting money domestically and sending jobs over there - we are destroying good jobs at home and country loses skills and people lose source of income, only shareholders and India win, but that's ok but we need to win domestically too and we should vote for whoever makes an effort to prevent this. SHAME ON YOU ALDI!
Seems there could be two separate things going on here. 3000 layoffs AND all the tech jobs going to India.
Looks like more than 50% cutoffs are happening in India itself. Most of my colleagues in India received email regarding offer
Nokia Enters Five-year Contract with L&T Technology Services in India

Someone earlier today IBM is no longer an American company. Only about 18% of IBMs employees are in the United States.
And that got me wondering about Quantum
https://lnkd.in/p/e_msegrn
https://lnkd.in/p/e2vmGD7v
IBM is sending and exporting its quantum work and hardware to India, why?
Why is the US government and DARPA paying for this by using hard earned US tax dollars only for it to be transfer to another nations? Why are they allowing this? What about national security? Why aren’t more people talking or asking about this?

Hiring for entry level positions in India vs Hiring for entry level positions in USA
Verizon India is getting bigger at a fraction of the cost they fired. A ton of contractors moved those jobs to India. Now they're moving other networking jobs to India having our American employees train them so that their co-workers could then lose their jobs. They're so bad at this process that they didn't even realize four Nationals can't touch certain Network elements, so they're scrambling. But their goal is to take away our jobs and move them to India from all departments like customer service, networking, landline, more AI development shipped over there too. There will be job losses. If not, tomorrow, definitely before the end of the year. Some of the cost cuttings that we're doing is putting our Network in jeopardy. For the sake of saving $1,000, we're considering leaving cellsites off the air so we don't pay the expense to fix them our health premiums are going up. Everything else is going up. They're asking people to work and not pay them overtime while also telling them not to work overtime but work more. But then in the same breath praising people who are working on their quote" own time and still not paying them. It's sickening
Am I reading this LinkedIn post correctly? Where did they find so many open offshore positions within 6 months, with so many layoffs here in the States?
Welp, good luck, ya'll.
For the past year Cigna has had a hiring freeze and only hiring in Hyderabad. The directive was that U.S. employees can only be hired by exception if no one can be found to fill the role in HIH. IT has a team of Indian people on site in the corporate offices managing all hires. Don’t know how they are doing it but if you walk around the offices you will see a huge majority of India employees in the U.S. offices now. In September they laid off a lot of finance people and brought in all new people in Hyderabad. They notified them in June and made them stay till September training and getting the new HIH people who were taking over their roles onboarded. This will not end as Cigna just cares about cheaper labor regardless of how it impacts U.S. qualified employees. Until the government steps in we will continue to loose our jobs skilled corporate roles here in the U.S.
It feels like Nike is pushing everyone to use AI so they can figure out how to automate as many roles as possible. Eliminate those roles and then those at the new India campus will be doing a majority of the workload.
Hiring WCIB tech head and CBB head. Grade 19.
So if you are in those 2 division, prepare for major outsourcing of your job for cheap labor.
Some of the jobs listed in India are grade 10, here in MN, it's grade 13/14.
They have posting for KYC leader, grade 13. Probably a grade 16 in most places, especially after the $1 billion fine on BOFa for money laundering.
They are moving 20,000 jobs to India, based on job grade, you can see why
H&P has slowly and quitely been transitioning jobs to the SUPREMELY underqualified india staff and it does not sound like they plan to stop anytime soon. My friend in finance was just told that her job was moving to India even after they explicitly said her job was not moving to India a few weeks ago.
If you're in Tulsa and your job requires a computer, believe me, they are already planning on replacing you with 5 indian workers getting paid a fraction of your salary.
I have worked in the IT industry for many years, across different organizations, and I have rarely experienced this level of workplace politics and favoritism.
The culture of personal favors, excessive people-pleasing, informal alliances, and groupism is exhausting. Some employees seem to spend more energy managing relationships and protecting their influence than solving real technical problems.
The unofficial career development program seems to be:
I am Indian and regretfully speaking the truth:
After spending more than a decade in the IT industry in India and subsequently working with several companies across different locations in the United States, I can confidently say that my experience at Comcast has been one of the most disappointing in terms of workplace culture.
The level of internal politics, favoritism, groupism, and attempts to gain influence through personal favors and excessive flattery is unlike anything I have encountered at my previous employers in the United States.
After I joined Comcast , I see it also became another Indian Company. Never saw/experienced this kind of herd in another company inside states . People do sh---y politics . People try to please each other by any means/foods/services . Right now I am just regretting that why did I join here ..
they made it like Another Indian company as they used to do in India .
They hired people from the recently banned companies. How the company will grow ? Wherever or which team you go , you will find 80% Indian trying to pull the legs as they do it in India .
When I randomly open Linkedin...
All I see is notices from existing CDW coworkers in the States posting about either being let go or new coworkers posting "thanks" for being hired in India (no knock to those in India as that'll help cut costs to boost our stock price)...
But is leadership aware of the optics for existing customers? Might as well move Customer Relations & Support as well as Purchasing and all other backbone to India as well. Might as well go all the way at this point since they started this with AR/AP.
Not saying I want a bulk of US coworkers to be let go but leadership seems confused on sitting on the fence on what to do and to what extent.
Guess those highly paid consultants aren't worth the money if they are scared to fully go all the way with thier outsourcing and overseas worker strategy.
Also I noticed India coworkers are getting nice Apple notebooks when I'm still using my brick of an HP notebook that's seen better days as my fingers bang out sales on those plastic keys. Give me a Panasonic Toughbook 😂
What do you think will be the scope, headcounts, etc. I personally think that it'll turn out to be bigger, in every sense, than most of us are expecting and I really do not see them having any bets as it relates to major technology investment in the USA. All of this is happening while most of large companies are reexamining use of H1Bs and offshore workforce. I honestly think that the USA should make a major push to onshore as much as possible as we saw what 2 decades of globalization and sending both manufacturing and service jobs overseas has brought. I do not like it and while it may fill pockets of execs and an occasional shareholder, it does damage to us as a society as well as a sovereign country.
