Thread regarding Kroger Co. layoffs

Global Capability Center in India

Now watch more and more jobs being shipped overseas. The more they hire there the more they change the DNA of the company. First they sent blue collar jobs overseas, now they are doing it with white collar jobs. We are losing technical competency and the country sees no benefit from this - the only one who benefit from this are shareholders and executives but that's only a small part of the country. Kroger will continue to send more jobs overseas. I am not even sure that we'll have any savings, as they can save 50% of a salary for each job sent there but then it takes 2 people over there to do the job, so it's a break even at best.

@bt don’t go out of your way to support them either! Let leadership figure it out. This has failed multiple times Kroger tried a capability center.

I see the Kroger HQ lit up like an American Flag today (for election day).
As they ship jobs to India.
Oh, the irony.

@bt Saar it took their company a year to know that they didn't know how computers work? The latent racism of the tech teams in Cincinnati never cease to amaze me. No wonder Bentonville and Seattle are beating you clowns.

2 is generous. Myself and another engineer ran an entire application team for supply chain for well over a decade. We handed it off to a team of 6 in India and it's a complete failure. They all got fired after a year and replaced by another huge team in Indian. They don't even know how computers work, it's quite embarrassing when they ask simple questions.
