Thread regarding Northwestern Mutual layoffs

Being one of them, I couldn't agree more about offshore and onshore contractors. It takes ten times as many hours for these worthless contractors to deliver a low-quality, certain-defect product. HCL, Infosys, and Wipro are all garbage.

I've seen contractors being arrogant and talking back to even AD and Leads. Looks like an NM employee must get used to getting sp-t on the face.

Echo ending whit3 power at NM it’s been long over due! You have our vote of ending rational inequality at Northwestern Mutual.

My leadership does not promote NM workers, there is a perception of legacy of thought. This is why we bring in external leaders to the space. I’ve been here three years, my leader said I should leave for 12 months then come back for a promotion. Nm at its finest.

We need to clean house of SLT too many wh1te men still in power. We in ERG’s are empowered to make sure not another wh1te man is promoted at NM. There is a reparation needed for 160 years of being held back!!!!!!!!!!!

...and then they made some of those same contractors VP's, SD's and AD's. look under those names in the org chart and marvel at the lack of diversity in their orgs. then look at their linkedin profiles and see who their last employer was.

Indian contractors lie about their skill set and knowledge. Once they are on board it was already to late to do anything. Cheaper hourly rate does not equate to quality work. Very deceptive practices working with on and off shore contractors. NM gave too much control to outsiders (learnvest and contractors). Now its a sh-t show.

who cares. my dream is to work for an endless stream of indians and people of colour w/ little to no real skill to further virtue signal. it's all the co cares about these days. my dream is to one day work for one that is also a member of the alphabet soup society.
