Every single IT recruiter and hiring manager is now Indian. Your chances of landing a job are almost zero.
In your own country foreigners have taken over an entire industry and shut you out.

@aw exactly this. H1B and OPTs innovate nothing and barely generated any new american jobs, absolutely useless.
Too many Indians. Hire Americans!!!!
The midterms are three weeks away. Vote accordingly.
@h2. EEOC enforces federal anti-discrimination laws and yes, you have 180 days to file a complaint. BUT...If you live in a state that also has state anti-discrimination laws (most do), the deadline to file a complaint is extended to 300 days. You still have time.
@c6 sadly I am probably past the 180 day limit on EEOC complaints as I was JE'd on 2/19
@c6 Actually there are many many different places people can voice their complaints and file reports for investigation. I am not sure if the one you suggested is the best but probably cannot hurt.
@OP On the main page of the EEOC website, there is a link to report employers for Anti-American bias. I recommend people take their complaints there, because it may actually change something.
@bk remember this “cheaper” doesn’t mean smarter I am tired of Indian egos getting feelings hurt
Sometimes the “truth” hurts..
@bh Right, not the same. This time Indian people are smarter, they have more supports from executives and CEOs, and politicians .
@ba not even remotely the same thing. IT (and not just at Cigna) is reducing American staff in favor of cheap offshore labor from India.
Indians are literally stealing IT jobs.
This show has been running for 100+ years. In 1800s, they blamed Chinese stolen their jobs, they even created Chinese Exclusion law that banned all immigration from China. Now they blame Indians. History repeats itself again.
While Cigna certainly has H1B employees, they get around this hurdle with the HIH.
@aw Personally, I feel like if even one American loses their job due to the intent of replacing their position with an Indian is an injustice and even unlawful.
If you go to the government site and read the purpose for the H-1B Visa policy it was to be a temporary stop gap for when, inly when, there were no Americans capable of performing the tasks of the role.
So, all of these health insurance corporations are in direct violation of that policy and illegally abusing the program.
HR may not currently measure Indian versus non-Indian representation in leadership, but an EEOC investigation can examine the underlying employment data and determine whether disparities or discriminatory patterns exist. Based on my experience, what has distinguished the two groups in the workplace is that Indian leaders are more likely to say "yes" to requests while delivering the minimum required, whereas I have experienced non-Indian leaders as more likely to challenge assumptions, drive innovation, and focus on measurable impact. I recognize this is my personal observation. If you believe discrimination has occurred, consider filing an EEOC complaint, not only for yourself, but for your children and the next generation of American workers. Let the data, accountability, and evidence determine the outcome.
@ap Totally agree. We should not be lauding and praising corporations just for profiting NO MATTER how they did so.
No, that would be like praising that mangio fella for sh-t he did.
The ends do not always justify the means.
And quite frankly it is wrong for corporations to be profiting by means of replacing American workers with foreign help. And it is wrong for them to be profiting by delaying and denying legitimate claims.
@ar Not surprised.
I had watched an episode of “River Monsters” where the narrator of the show did chemical tests on the Ganges river for pollution. Very high fecal readings!
Insurance is expensive in India because they still have the plague.
@af By definition a corrupt process cycle!
You say it as though you think it is a positive thing.
The WAY a corporation is just as, or more so, as important as that they did so.
The ends DO NOT justify the means!
Replacing domestic workers with HIH lowers costs. Lower costs means more budget for ever-increasing c-suite compensation and (ideally) should result in stronger stock performance.
@ac beneficial in what way?
@a3
5%?
have you heard of HIH?
This is true, but I think you are forgetting about how beneficial this is for the c-suite and key shareholders.
Viewed from that perspective, i think we can all agree that it's for the greater good.
@a2 good luck with that. Today almost all foreign companies are selling their products in India for a very high price. Insurance is not an affordable option there. Cigna plans and coverages in US are much better than competitor’s.
Face it. Game over. It’s a zombie company now. Clueless leaders. Demoralized workforce. Just hang on and brace for impact.
@OP ask HR and run stats. You will be surprised to see 95% of leadership is non Indians doing the show. Only remaining 5% hard working is what you are complaining about or assuming.
I am thinking about cancelling my Cigna insurance this Nov and buying some cheap plan from a company in India
In a year or two from now it won’t make a difference
