Thread regarding Charles Schwab Corp. layoffs

GCC hiring control

How is the control on hiring, pay rate and promotions going to be handled? Is that control retained by MDs and Directors onshore? Curious as I came across shady hiring practices where pay was not in onshore leadership control, not even the role level. This might open a gap and vulnerability in the system where local leadership in GCC might favor the frenzy.

Genuinely curious as I know how much of a power politics Indian leadership in GCC can play if not cautious. If the few genuine leaders lose the leash, we might be a gone case (scared as I am indian and realize power play when I see one)

@391 I can see this happening already. The pay and role level is not in onshore control. GCC managers can favor their people for higher level roles, pay and bonuses. They will eventually show a large difference in spend for junior roles and somehow convince EC that offshore is better which will drive more layoffs in the US. Leadership in the US must be really cautious and be aware to protect themselves and their teams

Hr in india is notorious especially. Hyderabad in taking bribes and hiring people. Same goes to the managers. This is a disaster in making. Bangalore has a different culture vs. Hyderabad. Hyderabad operates better if they pay over market else you are getting folks with fake degrees, resumes and caste based politics.

Look up profiles of folks in GCC. Some of them are ex colleagues from JPMC. There will definitely be a favouritism in hiring.

@qz I know several that has been told that the department where they work job will transfer to the GCC, and they are encouraged to apply at the GCC. People on the same team has been told nothing (i.e., will probably just be laid off).

GCC is a seperate company. Onshore does not directly manage GCC employees, even if they "work" for an onshore group.
