Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

@a6 100 percent I have seen the H1B decimate the US Middle America. It is criminal on all sides. They don’t pay those worker an equal wage. It takes jobs from our people here in our birth home.

@a2 yep, the almighty dollar is more important that taking care of the communities you live and work in nowadays. Ralph would be disgusted with what Comcast has become.

@OP yep, this is the american dream, if you're wealthy that is.

Currently, U.S. companies can deduct the money they spend on foreign operations --including salaries paid to workers at Indian GCCs as ordinary business expenses on their U.S. tax returns - AI.

An earlier post on this site:

“Can confirm from upper level at CTC.
The India offices are taking the bulk of the work. Unless legislation is introduced to safeguard American telecommunications data, nothing will stop this.
●●●
For hypocrisy, India, it's ILLEGAL to export the telecommunications data due to national security. America allows it.”

Why do we allow this when they don’t? And do customers know all their accounts and info are sitting overseas?

Good enough to buy their products but evidently not good enough to work for them = all Americans

Comcast sells its service and products in the US and hires people in India. Such companies needs to be punished by the elected officials.

CIEC is getting a 30k sqft expansion and are hiring 900 new employees. Nothing like an American company laying off Americans and shipping work offshore.

When you make outsourcing more expensive than hiring locally corporations are less likely to outsource. It really is that simple.

There’s a lot of talk about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States, but far less attention is being paid to the thousands of American jobs being shipped overseas. Comcast is a prime example of this troubling trend.

Comcast now has more than 6,000 jobs in India alone—and that doesn’t include the thousands of contractors working there, which could potentially double that number. Add to that the jobs outsourced to the Philippines, Israel, Mexico, and other countries, and the scale of the offshoring becomes even more concerning.

Meanwhile, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts is quick to proclaim his strong commitment to Philadelphia whenever it's time to renew the company’s franchise agreement with the city. Yet, by some estimates, Comcast has moved more than 10,000 jobs offshore in just the past few years.

It raises a simple question: How can Comcast claim to be a champion of Philadelphia while continuing to move thousands of American jobs overseas?

Supporting a city should mean more than making promises when a franchise agreement is up for renewal. It should mean investing in American workers and the communities that helped build the company’s success.
