Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

india benefits vs usa benefits at wells

India:
Free healthcare for you, spouse, children and parents
Wide selection of subsidized (almost all free) online courses not available in usa
Free life insurance policy
More holiday time off
International cultural coaching training
onsite wellness clinic paid by company
onsite free doctor
onsite pharmacy
onsite beds to sleep if tired
onsite free gym
onsite free game room
security detail to walk you to train or car
pay credit bonus for each certificate training passed
free onsite emotional counslor
recruitment bonus for referrals
more paid time off to have baby

USA
None of that

Go look it up yourself - go to company intranet search for "india benefits"

If that doesnt speak volumes about the strategic staffing direction of this company, nothing does.

Small business and government is the primary employer in the USA. We really do not need these corporations

LOL Wells employee @gnu+192QvC49 from San Fran complaining about all of the crazy ideas from San Fran Sicko. The rest of us never voted for this insanity. And now we have to bail out California once again. Sad.

Wells Fargo can’t properly manage oversight when the fraud is happening in the same building right under the C-Suite’s nose, much less when sending work to a foreign country. I can’t wait for the next big scandal to hit the news. It’s just a matter of time.

This management team is as short-sighted, self-interested and foolish as the last. Just different names and higher salaries.

Again, I’m just going to assume you’re ok with WFC sending jobs overseas as long as it’s not your job. As long as you’re not personally affected: who cares, right?

So move to India then get back to me on how your new quality of life is overall. You too could have every single one of those benefits if you opted to be paid 20% of your current salary.

I agree with @lpk+192QvC49, follow the sun support for IT folks from India is a very good thing.

Sending all our jobs there, though, that's just the free market in action.

Large companies have been outsourcing to India since the early 90's. It's nothing new or even interesting. I personally don't miss getting dragged out of bed at 2 in the morning because some batch job is slower than usual. If you want to go back to the 'not very' good old days, have at it. Just don't call me in the middle of the night.

I will call HR and see if I can get these benefits too; had anyone already checked on this?

My manager doesnt seem to know who works on their team, so we dont have this level to go to. I am not even sure they know which company they are employed at.

I’m just going to assume that all the people here who stand up for Wells Fargo sending American jobs overseas are good with it as long as it’s not their job.

I despise people that use an ignorance of history to further their agenda. You do realize the H1B visa program exploded under Bush Jr. right? You need to do your own research not just listen to folks who don’t know any better than to do real research.

There is no real journalism anymore just an agenda.

Kerry/Kennedy H1Visa act. The clueless people just voted for more of this in spades. Scharf just loves it as do all the Dims...

OP - are you high . It is a low wage developing country for low end jobs . None of what you said is remotely true. You have a high quality of life here and they don’t.

Even Indian origin employees don’t want to move back to India. If you thought life is hard in US, you ain’t seen much , bro.

Benefits in the US are crazy expensive for employers to provide because politicians have made them crazy expensive with massive regulation and mandates (why 80 year old men must have coverage for pregnancy etc.). This is called 'k–ling the golden goose'. Everyone loves the idea of another 1000 pages of government health care regulations until it becomes time to pay for them. Of course, the real objective of increasing the costs is that citizens will become so outraged that they demand Soviet-care-for-all. And if you think healthcare is expensive now, wait until it's "free".

Those of you in denial that this company will move as many jobs to India as possible are deluding yourselves. Especially tech jobs. They did it at JPMC, they’ll do it here.

Another ignorant poster. Please apply for one of the WFC jobs in India. You’ll be in for a shock with low salaries and filthy conditions. That’s why companies try to offer perks and better conditions on site.

All other banks, IT services companies provide similar benefits in India. If any Wells Fargo India salary is considered lower than the competitors.

"security detail to walk you to train or car"

No Joke - I would have liked this for Bart in the bay area.

Corporate has figured out that adding all these benefits is still cheaper than overpaying for US employees who complain about their lack of benefits when they get the all important benefit of cash. If you're so jealous of Indians, go apply for a job in India. They're hiring.
