this goes out to the US or other high-cost geos - is anyone else hearing about a new team that was secretly created and "want to learn" about your project/product?

i've heard from 2 different groups that this has happened outside of my coterie.

Why did bp increase headcount 18% last year with ongoing strategic layoffs?
Has AI permitted bp to be leaner and meaner? And simpler?
Is bp’s AI a thing? Has bp’s super computer actually resolved making operations safer and more productive?
Are the 15,000 new employees hired last 20 months based in India? Are we removing one western employee and hiring 3 Sub Continent employees ?

Thoughts on this? As H1Bs have to go back and apply? Or will they just outsource more to India and keep them there?

On Wednesday over 20 employees in IT were laid off. Management bringing in replacements on H-1B visas from India and Canada.

I feel like it’s already happening….. They have the data entry part down for spreading financials. What would stop USB from telling them to also do write ups etc.?

It feels like the only professions untouchable by india is law, medical, and trades…..

the company is moving EVERYTHING to India

VZI completely collapsed, So many people's layedoff. Mostly band 7,8 . Management role are much secure and encrypted like any other role. While at the same time T mobile & ATT have expanded there operation with a lot of hiring.

Seems VZI going to be shutting down soon. As two Indian leader been shaked ( Shankar and Sampath.)

Fu--ing disrespectful to see postings/ openings based in Bangalore today on LinkedIn.

What about EMEA/APAC/India??? Some say other regions follow - one reply says EMEA was already informed - another says Americas only. Which is it?

From London to New York on business class for frivolous reasons that achieves nothing substantial? Especially when Citi has laid off so many people? If this person is required to be in new York, why wasn't he made to relocate to let go and someone new York based found to fill the opposition?

Is it only a coincidence that this person has family in ny/NJ that he gets to meet on company dime when laid off people have struggled to find something new after being laid off, been on expensive insurance and many other struggles?

Why is Nawani and his team so special? They've barely achieved anything of note that isn't brittle as a house of cards that would fall apart when actual experts in data look into it rather than second or third line generalist that have made every decision for him on data products? And whatever was left was made by generalist consultants

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the offshore GCC in India. Anyone know any business lines potentially being impacted?

We’re making a big bet on India and staffing down all over the world. But has anyone thought about what happens when our internationally unpopular president gets pi---d off at India and we no longer want to be each other’s friends? Seems like the company would be pretty sc--wed!

How big is the layoff in India ? Any idea? Did they cut squad leaders, scrum masters there or not?

This is eye opening and exactly whats happening. Outsourcing and offshoring jobs to India.

Since it is alredy later after, I guess anyone impacted in India already get notified? Thanks!

What's going on today ?

Are majority of the layoffs in India ? Are they not planning to lay off any managers, directors, VPs in US ?

Looking like the days of Arvind fooling Wall Street with his financial engineering shenanigans is coming to an end. Heading right back to $160, where it was before he embarked on his "RA everyone, move everything to India, stop investing in everything" strategy.

Shell cut a large portion of its IT workforce in Bangalore for a reason. Yet RB and LC apparently thought it made sense to bring in the leader who built Shell’s India data and analytics group, even though that role was eliminated during Shell’s own layoffs. Now we are watching that same leadership rebuild the team by hiring former Shell India employees into Chevron.

CS was just the beginning. CO is next, and the plan is obvious - shift everything to India. It’s coming faster than people think. Mark my words.

Indian PM asks workers to WFH due to rising fuel prices!

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to Indians to revive working from home, buy less gold and limit foreign travel to deal with a surge in global energy ​prices because of the continuing crisis in the Middle East.

Months over month, us-based employee count is down 100 and India offshore contractors are up 400

India has 44 openings now in workday.

But I seen your leadership tells you that they are not offshoring. Fu--ing liars.

Anyone who is a PM in commercial banking... better check how many CB PM roles are being posted in India. It's no longer hidden, they actively are outsourcing your roles right in front of you.

Let the games begin!

As it’s morning there , any update ..

Heard rumours of layoffs coming especially in tech from September due to poor company performance and execs that obsess over AI especially the ones who used to be at global payment and bailed due to promotion and couldn’t handle the role. India is expanding so if you invest in invesco it’s all controlled via India now.

Multiple departments in retirement area. 100 plus most jobs are going to india to gcc.

There’s more to come —potentially a full-scale overhaul of Henry Schein and its subsidiaries. The process raises serious concerns, and it warrants government scrutiny. The continued shift of jobs overseas to India, is destroying the US workforce.

Huge operation center quietly getting set up in the Philippines. Layoffs every 2 months through 2027. Poland to have massive layoffs. Berwyn Pennsylvania getting gutted. India given increased role they can’t handle. Senior Management denies all and plays d-mb with the mid level managers. Mangers in London, Germany, and Singapore making all the decisions now. This is no longer an American company. Offshore, offshore, offshore. AI, AI, AI - which has proven to be a failure so far. PA is a particular mess, with virtually no competent leaders left. No leaders of people, just senior managers who have no idea of what actually occurs in their own office and couldn’t identify half the people they see on the way to the bathroom. 12-14 hour days are the norm and expected. Run far, far away from this company, unless you are filipino. Then you have a future. Or maybe if you want to do client service. They’ll need to hire more there to explain to all the clients why Rome is burning and the service has become dogshit. Side note, they’ll do a terrible job explaining because they have no idea what is going on. just mouthpieces…. My advice, get out now, especially if you are in the US or Poland. The founders of SS are rolling in their graves at what Uncle Ron and Clair Williams have done to the place.

Vz india will now have Eng starting in small amount on wireless core. No security into consideration, while saving money on US Eng, they choose to sacrifise access to confidential database to be outside USA while Pentagon prohibited this many years ago.Get ready.

Will any one from top leadership look at the earlier comments about managers and directors. If things are not taken care it will damage more internally, things are not improving. We don't have a HR where we can complaint and help ourselves.

There are lot things which are being spoiled in the background. Some one has to come either from India leadership or US and resolve the cause

I have a question. I was part of a reorg where my US based team will now be lead by a manager in India. A. Is this happening to anyone else? I presume this isn't promising for our future. B. My direct manager is still in the US, however the org chart doesn't show that he reports to the India manager? Is there a reason for that?

3 jokers - KC, KP and DP - held a 30 min listening session and the way some questions were handled makes it look like they do not have any creds to be in that place. Especially KC's response to why the merit increase multiplier was low this year. Hilarious.

I see a lot of developer jobs now posted on the Gainwell website, located in India. I hadn’t seen that before. (then I hadn’t looked recently.)

I am an NGINX Dev and I'm worried about my friend that works in F5 Digital. I can confirm forced resigns are happening in US and India. Be careful joining F5 Digital Team. If you've doubts, confirm with your friends at F5.

Is India affected by any of the RTO mandates? How are they handling for Boston or NH staff the situation in the office? Will these folks not have assigned seats or are they at least dropping that id--tic practice.

Some teams are firing. Some teams are hiring. Some teams are hiring from India sponsoring H1B visa.

So you mean to tell me this dude with a degree mill degree all the way in India cares about US patients and US healthcare?
