Is that work shipped to QIPL?

When is the new ETX Budget and forecast due?

I hear there is going to be another substantial shift of work to Romania and India to save $$ in the ETX budget. Which means less US workforce.

Heard over 75 replenishment employees are being let go and those jobs begin to be shipped overseas? Is this true that no replenishment will be done by US Foods anymore? What is next?

Not being cut, just moved. That's the sad truth.

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

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?

We are #110 on fortune 500, yet #61 on most H1B sponsors https://www.levels.fyi/h1b/sponsors/ which says all you need to know

Btw, if you make under $137K, congrats, you make less than the avg H1B's they hired to "save costs" because they “couldn’t find equivalent U.S talent” which should be a slap in the face to you. There are some serious questions that need to be answered here.

The worst part is our stock would be doing the same with Andy (in retrospect, my word was he the last stand against mass outsourcing, and now I miss him despite his quirks) as it is with GK. The stock is "performing" due to the larger markets, NOT because of GK. And she thinks its her doing, so will double down on the outsourcing. Godspeed.

For legal reasons, this is all "allegedly"!

we all know what’s going on in Lake Mary is completely wrong. especially the departments that are supposed to be independent. fire them all. replace with outsourced resources

November was the last we’ve heard for major restructuring. It’s gone very, very quiet. Big operational changes are coming if you listened to the Q3 townhall, that has to be soon. Ramon owes Elliot a plan by end of year per some reports. Thinking it has to be significant as Elliott has been silent even though other analyst are bearish on the company and questioning the structure and plans. Ramon has been quiet since his earnings call and subsequent news appearances saying all options are on the table. Ram seemed extremely uncomfortable and not very confident in yesterday’s blatantly forced and scripted townhall production. I’m not really believing PEPNA is going to be the path forward anymore. I have a really strong feeling Ramon is going to be out by Q1, Ram might be with him. I expect Capstone to fully move forward, greatly reducing our WH supply chain and headcount. I think that is where you will see the big reorg coming. Check the number of job postings for Capstone, especially in major Pepsi markets. Delivery at some point will also be subbed to a 3rd party logistics. Production will stay and be centralized to much larger sites, this will allow Pepsi to control the concentrate supply. Sales/Merch/Marketing could easily stay as PepsiCo or be refranchised, this seems 50/50 right now. Fleet goes 3rd party, HR and safety all centralized and reduced. Equipment services can be easily purchased by a larger service company. S&T will be gutted. IT already outsourced. What am I missing? Admins already being outsourced.

So...CDW added a new board member that was a high ranking C level at Deloitte.

Another consultant. Go read what it's like to work at Deloitte. Seems like CL and team want to double down and reshape CDW by outsourcing more and paying coworkers less.

Customers will be left with a lower quality of service since the company doesn't want to actually pay for the best in the industry. What will be left are people too desperate to quit/leave to go elsewhere as they can't afford any lapse in income or health benefits. Basically a workforce of desperate coworkers being held hostage fearful of their bosses rather than coworkers that respect their bosses. What a way to run a company.

At this point...just outsource everything to India. Get H1B's to run the warehouse. I'm sure customers will want to pay more for the same Tech and Services. CDW charges more for the same Goods & Services than others but now will provide a lower quality of everything in terms of account management. So what is the value add anymore.

Posters here keeps saying things about 1/1/27. Is it a lay-off? Is it a reorganization? More outsourcing? We all know we’re losing tons of business. What is going to happen?

Deloitte has eliminated approximately 170 positions in Australia. The company is reallocating these roles to its outsourcing division, where it plans to hire over 500 individuals. This strategic shift aims to bolster stable, recurring revenue streams, aligning with industry trends. Deloitte anticipates AI will automate a significant portion of routine consulting tasks. This move is part of a broader strategy to expand its managed services operations.

Anyone know if HR is outsourced? Seems many are now.

Expect another wave of people exiting the company after the last sub-executive RSUs are vested and paid. These were "retention" RSUs given during the free fall of 3M stock during period of great uncertainty due to PFAS and ear plug litigation. These are the golden handcuffs for some people. 3M continues to make outside opportunities more attractive to long term employees and rewards those brought in from the outside. Thus, we see a certain group of employees hanging on for dear life until Feb 6.

The jury is still out on BB and team to see if the approach for growth and stock price appreciation is real or just a smoke show. My observations were of too much window dressing and quarterly optimization vs. long term actions and strategy in support of growth.

Company continues to follow consultants to have 3M follow industry standards (by people who tell companies what to do but are not long term accountable). Thus, more outsourcing, "AI" initiatives, and thoughts on cross-selling 3Mers long list of disparate, specialize, premium products. I hope for a good outcome, but I am not a believer.

Is there an end in sight?

What are the determining factors?

7 i know of let go from marketing, brand, comms. videographer gone, plans to outsource to contractor. 1 on maternity leave, 1 about to go on maternity leave, 1 close to retirement. happy holidays!

I can’t begin to say how ludicrous it is that tech services were outsourced. Ever since that happened it looks like the farm uses HCL Tech. Why can’t State Farm get its own people for tech support?? It’s taken me 5 days to get online. Supposedly the level 1 reps can reach the level 2 rep and get promises of callbacks in 5-10 minutes but I can’t get a response. Feels like State Farm sets reps up to fail.

• Remove corporate cell phones and force on-call employees to pay for cell service and phone.
• Move all positions to Canada/India etc to get cheaper labor, lower salary and medical costs
• Ensure that no employee has a long tenure to limit severance (mainly in Canada)

Some of these already seem to be in progress - list out others that you might think are plausible

The true rate of unemployment in high tech is significantly higher than what is officially published and yet US companies continue to outsource jobs to Europe, Canada and other countries because the wages are lower overseas. At the same time companies like Cisco have been over-hiring for years resulting in duplication of efforts and cut-throat culture.
Many industry insiders and economists agree that the current operational model in high tech is hitting a wall. The combination of intense burn-out, hyper-fragmented workflows, and layers of middle management has created environments that are both culturally exhausting for workers and financially inefficient for businesses.

For those who have seen their teams or work outsourced, how has the quality of products and services changed?

Are these outside vendors actually delivering better results, or are we just spending more time fixing issues and dealing with problems that didn't exist before?

Curious what people are seeing firsthand.

Where does it stop? Is the end goal to just outsource everything except management?

The hits keep coming, but this isn’t even rock bottom. Rumors are more losses in the pipeline. KFC is significant. Marriott was significant. 35 year Pepsi partners calling it quits is really bad PR for PEP and a major red flag. Poppi not going to save us. Alani not going to save us. Siete another bad purchase. If Ramon has his job through mid 2027 I’d be shocked. Ram needs to go as well. Reorg coming in next few weeks. If you think it can’t get worse, you are in for a big surprise. Outsourcing will continue, consolidation will continue, you will do more with less. You will not be rewarded with merit or bonus. Buckle down.

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 left to go there and it is he-l. Yes the pay is much higher but it’s a horrible culture. Layoffs every other week, half the team outsourced, forced stack ranking and they not only tack your days in office but you must have 8 hours a day or you will show up on a report. They also started tracking your screen time and mouse clicks and keystrokes and you may start showing up on a report soon if you’re less than 8 hours.

Just giving a warning I wish someone warned me! Yes you will likely earn 40k+ more there for the same job but you will be dealing with this. Only apply if that is worth it to you and u can handle this kind of stress. Personally I am not happy but had no choice at the time

Outsourcing of all project managers in Burbank and east coast (ny/ct/fl/nc) including the woodlands. Huge layoff of major departments including all data centers will be all subcontracted. This is all due to voluntary early retirements. Speculating 500-2000 layoffs early 2027

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 😂

It is unbelievable to me that the company let all the talent go in exchange for a bunch of overseas employees with NO experience and very little English! I would LOVE for them to join some of the client calls with these new resources to hear firsthand what they have done!

The HIRE Act (Halting International Relocation of Employment)

Introduced in the Senate by Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH), this is the actual outsourcing bill tied to the administration's broader crackdown on companies like Wipro. It is designed to aggressively penalize corporations that move American jobs overseas by hitting them with a 25% excise tax on outsourcing payments and eliminating standard corporate tax deductions for international labor.

Sound familiar? We need HIRE ACT

Rumors are that they will be outsourced to conglomerate. All facilites as well.

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.

Just got laid off this morning. Clearly this company values AI slop and outsourcing over anything remotely close to actually adhering to policy or making sure devs can actually get anything done. Only thing I'll miss is the money... and even then it's clear that was running out too thanks to the obscene (yet expected) greed of the Ivory Tower.

I guess they're not even doing waves of WFRs anymore. They probably play darts with names on the board every morning. Get out while you can.

I was recently laid off from NBC Peacock along with our whole custmer service team in Orlando. We were told that the company wanted to save money and was moving our jobs to India. Just like that, we were all out of work. We spent years learning how things work, helping customers, and dealing with problems every day. We knew our jobs and worked hard to keep customers happy. Now none of that seems to matter because someone decided they could pay people overseas less money to do the same work. What makes me angry is that Peacock is part of a huge company that makes billions of dollars. I also read that Peacock finally started making a profit. So the company is doing better, but the people who helped it get there are losing their jobs. It just doesn't seem right.

I have nothing against the folks in India. They need jobs and have families to support just like we do here in the USA... But I don't understand why American companies keep getting rid of American workers to save money. We handled all kinds of customer problems, and some of them were not easy to fix. It takes time to learn these systems and understand what customers need. Now the company is handing that work over to another company and hoping everything will be fine. I've also been reading comments from people who say NBCUniversal is looking at using more AI to handle work. Management keeps saying AI is supposed to help employees, not replace them. But after seeing our entire team get laid off, it's hard to believe anything they say anymore.

The worst part is knowing that you can work hard, do everything they ask, and still lose your job because someone wants to cut costs. We weren't told that our work was bad. We were told the company could save money by sending our jobs overseas. That's a hard thing to accept when you have bills to pay and a family depending on you. I've heard that other departments at NBCUniversal have been losing people too, so I don't think this is only happening to customer service. I just wish companies would think about the people who work for them instead of only looking at how much money they can save. After everything we did for Peacock, I really expected better than this.

I heard there was another big layoff of fleet team today…to go 3rd Party Vendor…news???

Central customer service that then gets outsourced. Marketing teams assigned to servicing customer accounts. Then lay them off. Centralize complaint intake, then outsource that function. Manufacturing plants that remove inspection steps, drive work to poor quality suppliers in a never ending effort to reduce cost. Do more with less, when you were already overwhelmed is not sustainable. It has all undermined the foundation of the organization.

What @bz+1m2hsyrxb said.

How are they going to stop this?

Elon Musk just bought spectrum to be able to sell phone service. Most of Verizon customers are conservative and hate Verizon because of years of lying, outsourcing, over billing, and treating customers like sh-t and love Elon Musk for whatever reason good or bad. That’s why Verizon is desperately trying to eliminate employees and overhead. They know people will flock to Elon and SpaceX.

Omg. This is shattering. The WHOLE company is going to see MAJOR LAYOFFS in the near future due to this company split and AI implementation. Apparently it's affecting every part of the company on a massive scale never before seen. AI and outsourcing is going to eliminate thousands of jobs. This was a HUGE RUG PULL!! It's going to get bad for everyone real fast. Sectors iv confirmed affected are Comcast Advertsing, Xfinity, Comcast Business and Leadership roles. They are cutting 80% of managerial roles within the next year or so. No more middle men.

It can't be only that they can be done remotely, since then most of us would already be out of work. So what is it?

While CITI has reduced headcount in the US it is offshoring jobs in a big way to INDIA/BELFAST/UK. So I gues even if H1Bs are reduced the jobs will not come back because they will been outsourfed.
