How many US employees will be laid off when AP moves to India?
Getting vendors paid in a timely manner is hard enough now, what will it be when moved overseas.

If you’re in Global Ops you received a 226 page document that apparently shows the entire nation of India got a title promotion. Wild stuff.

I see them visiting India , Bangalore so often.
They hardly visit sites in USA.

Did anyone see the newsletter yesterday? Out of 60+ New hires, only 7 are not Indian? This is ridiculous already. The majority of those hired are in India and the ones in the US are mostly Indian. Do we really not have enough American workers to fill these jobs?

I’m trying to figure out how currently WF workforce is split. In December total employees count was about 216000. In January it is already 210000. I wonder what is a percentage US vs India &Co?

The other question is what’s the ration (pay wise). US vs India? It used to be 1:4 but I believe that offshore pays went up.

Final question, now that 2025 numbers were communicated to masses, how many resignations there will be after pay on 2/13 ( true ones not the ones from keyboard warriors)?

Rumor has it most if not all of US will report to India or Colombia in March when a new reorganization will happen.

Why are we not hearing about this from CVX health & medical, particularly since there is so much travel to and from India in our employee and contractor population?

What is the company doing about curtailing or cancelling altogether travel? This is how it started with the previous pandemic, and this virus has a very high mortality rate.

Please respond, Chevron.

managers want us to get excited because we're "getting new coworkers" aka once again outsourcing to india. meanwhile more things on the tech side are broken than ever

I know teams have been over there recently. Are there any warnings as people come and go. Only asking since HP is always coming and going.

Global sportswear giant Nike has expanded its presence in India by leasing 126,000 sq ft of premium office space in the Olympia Building at Bagmane Tech Park, Bengaluru. This strategic move highlights Nike’s commitment to strengthening its corporate operations in one of India’s most competitive commercial real estate markets.

Bagmane Tech Park, located in C V Raman Nagar, is a leading business hub hosting multinational technology firms, consumer brands, and professional service providers. Nike’s new leased space allows the company to access top talent and modern office infrastructure, aligning with the growing demand for large, contiguous office spaces in Bengaluru.

While lease terms and financials remain undisclosed, the acquisition signals Nike’s long-term commitment to India’s growing market. Bengaluru continues to attract multinational companies seeking Grade A commercial properties, ideal for regional offices, technology teams, and operational hubs.

This transaction is comparable to prominent Bengaluru real estate projects such as Sobha Galera in Kannamangala and Prestige Evergreen in Whitefield, which have drawn attention for their prime locations and modern amenities. Nike’s lease also mirrors the trend of investing in pre-launch projects, where corporates secure high-quality office and commercial spaces ahead of market competition.

By taking this step, Nike reinforces Bengaluru’s position as a preferred destination for global expansions, emphasizing the city’s role as a hub for talent, innovation, and corporate growth. The move also strengthens the appeal of business parks like Bagmane Tech Park, which continues to attract multinational tenants seeking premium infrastructure and connectivity.

The company decided to pause their AI push, as the low hanging fruit has been harvested, and further adoption requires substantial investment and training. To decrease costs, they now aim to reduce the number of MDs by delegating their work to VPs, reduce the number of VPs by delegating their work to AVPs, and to reduce the number of FTEs in India to Indian contractors.

This company is in a constant state of laying people off. Shipping jobs now to India. That will evidently solve all of their problems.
Nice job in giving jobs to another country. You sure your customers will be ok with that especially knowing your pal is the one you’re doing business with? Conflict of interest I would say.
We know what is going on and what goes around comes around.

Heard there is another wave of layoff coming in Early Feb hitting US and India - GCC, anyone know anything about this ? Ironically GCC folks are scrambling for safety after taking away American jobs

Many skilled and hard workers from Montreal were let go today. Very sad to see jobs moving to India.

My manager recently said, “Reducing costs and improving efficienc; Use AI and low-cost region labor (per stakeholders).”
So AI hasn’t been able to replace the work we do, yet apparently moving the role to a low-cost region is now being treated as the “solution.”

Just got an Email to Onboard a Person in India - New Offshore Team. How much time do I have ? I've been here 6.5 Years.

https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/topstories/google-microsoft-wall-street-giants-plan-to-shift-more-jobs-to-india-as-layoffs-and-trump-s-immigration-curbs-bite-survey/ar-AA1Ubn7h

I’ll sum the email up for you quickly:

“You American employees are too expensive and we need to make the stock price go up, we’re going to be spending the next 24 months laying off as many of you as possible to be replaced with AI and/or cheap India labor”

I appreciate the heads up, but a 2 year timeline is crazy.

Have you heard about it anything at all?

With layoffs Monday Jan 5th due to more new replacements with Mexico and India. Mexico now working in Loss Prevention , Total Loss and end of the road Recovery dept. You just know customers want to hear that LOL.😆😜

I wonder if this will cause bp to reconsider sending so many jobs there. I mean, that’s not exactly business friendly.

The disproportionate presence of Indian leaders hiring and promoting mostly Indian H1-B candidates speaking their language into SVP and other VP roles in Tampa raises concerns about favoritism and closed networks. When leadership pipelines lack balance - opportunities for other equally qualified professionals are very limited.

Wonder if Chevron is hiring good talent folks or just bunch of losers who have nowhere to go.

I’m sick of it and I’ve been here nearly 20 years. Never did I think this place would sink so low but walked in queen of India and poof U.S. Bank is gone.

Confirmed from someone in finance and HR. AI, moving many jobs to India, and new leadership found many teams doing similar work.

Per my contract I’m fully invested being with Cisco 5 years, so I’m not worried if I get laid off since I will get pension the rest of my life. The question I have, when I go back home will they deposit my monthly payment in my India bank?

Seems to me like they posted a bunch of engineer 3 and higher roles all for hyderabad/bangalore. Didn't we just lay off a bunch of those roles in August from Seattle? What a coincidence!

so many positive news lately

Bank has kept this hushed but India’s media has let this cat out of the bag on Friday. I’m sure this post will get deleted soon but I’ll be back to make another one.

Per the news media, USB plans to open 2 Global Capability Centers (GCC) in India. The Hyderabad location will be built and owned by the bank itself while the Chennai location goes through vendors (Cognizant, TCS etc.) Overall hiring is expected at 3-5000 employees.

Say hello to Bank of India!

I have been told that i need to have minimum 15+ years experience to move to G7 in India .Is this normal ?

This leadership group's most detrimental practice is the systematic sidelining of high performers. Governed by an implicit anti-meritocratic stance, their chief aim is self-preservation. They intentionally install a layer of middling and compliant managers beneath them. This creates a buffer that prevents truly talented individuals from advancing to levels where they might question authority, reveal strategic shortcomings, or disrupt the status quo. Having reached the later stages of their careers, their focus has narrowed to preserving their lucrative positions and titles with minimal exertion, effectively treating their roles as comfortable sinecures.

The next round is coming, not as massive, 1k and above, focus on Ireland and India and the back to the states.

LTIMindtree, one of India’s leading IT and digital services firms, will stop filing new H-1B visa applications going forward, according to a report by Moneycontrol.

The company’s CEO, Venugopal Lambu (Venu), said the organisation will now focus on hiring more local talent in overseas markets.

Lambu’s announcement comes at a time when the United States is witnessing intense debate over the H-1B “specialty occupation” visa category.

The Trump administration also introduced a blanket fee of 100,000 dollars for new H-1B filings through a proclamation issued in September.

For years, MAGA-aligned politicians and their supporters have argued that major tech companies rely too heavily on foreign workers instead of hiring Americans. Many critics have even labelled the current visa system a “fraud” or “scam.”

Lambu clarified that LTIMindtree’s new policy applies only to fresh petitions under the upcoming H-1B lottery cycle.

Renewals for existing employees will continue unchanged, mirroring the way Trump’s new 100,000 dollar fee applies only to new applications. This strongly indicates that the steep fee played a major role in the company’s decision.

He added that LTIMindtree may reconsider its stance if U.S. regulations change in the future.

How Many H-1B Employees Does LTIMindtree Have?

Lambu told Moneycontrol that the company currently employs around 4,000 H-1B workers in the U.S., out of a global workforce of more than 86,000.

He noted that LTIMindtree has already reduced its dependency on the visa category and built systems to support onsite hiring.

Looking ahead, Lambu stressed the importance of hiring locally to control costs and improve profitability.

He pointed out that the company generated 64 million dollars in additional revenue in the first half of FY26, even as its net headcount decreased.

Outlining LTIMindtree’s long-term vision, Lambu said the company aims to grow revenue without proportionally increasing staff numbers.

“If we are growing 2X over the next five years, the headcount should grow only about 1.2X to 1.3X,” he told Moneycontrol.

I'm genuinely wondering, our work is continuously outsourced to many countries with the bulk being to Argentina AND India, but India seems to bear most of the brunt and hate comments. Is it legit because Argentina does a better job than India? Or people just don't like Indians for variety other reasons?

Chevron India is offering their people 2x days a week in the office. I just heard that they plan to keep these, even as US Payroll are being forced to work 4x days a week in office.

So much for "better together"

... personally, if the I'm going to write to Management to try and get India 4x days in office too (including Monday). Fair is fair

Think about that for a moment. This is a bank that grew up in the midwest USA. And, now, a lot of the back office work is being moved to India. Your private information, your accounts. Why is this allowed?
