@f6 Maybe Cluj has served its purpose of shielding Yehud site against Indian hires, and now that ADM is going to be sold, they are not needed anymore.

Israeli management is not that stupid to give up Cluj.

@ct It used to be cheap. Funny things happen with economies that get lots of business pumped into them. The quality of life increases, then costs, then salaries must be increased to attract and retain talent who now have to maintain a higher cost of living.

That would be a waste of R&D talent, but that is the only business plan in OT: Buy, fire all R&D and hire cheaper in India then milk customers for support revenue. This has also started to be the game in other internal support orgs (Finance, PMOs). All management reports regarding headcounts are about "India vs Rest-of-the-world", and its not hard to say which side the needle is trending towards. If Cluj is a done deal, then the next ones one the list would be Yehud site in Israel. So the question is: will they be next on the chopping block or will they make a daring escape by getting ADM sold off before it happens? Good luck to them!

This would be irritating, if true.
