Will there be a career month in the USA, like India’s ICC Capability Roadshow?

I’m genuinely trying to understand the strategy behind the different workforce standards across the U.S., India and Mexico.
If India and Mexico are primarily about labor-cost advantage and access to talent, that makes sense. But why do the employee experience and operating rules seem so different?
There appear to be larger teams in some offshore/nearshore locations, different expectations around workload, and greater flexibility for domestic or U.S. travel, while U.S.-based employees are being told travel is highly restricted or limited to senior leaders—even when there is a legitimate business need.
If the work is part of one global organization, shouldn’t there be some consistency around productivity expectations, staffing levels, travel approvals and opportunities regardless of location?
Maybe there is a financial or strategic rationale I’m missing. Is the India/Mexico strategy primarily labor arbitrage, access to talent, proximity/time-zone coverage, or something else? Because from an employee perspective, the current model can feel inconsistent.
@ak The US definitely needs it. Lack of jobs, high inflation, high gas prices, high insurance - health, auto, home, daycare. While I know the US need jobs back, I also know the corporate greed won’t allow it. All our leaders care about filling their coffers
Career month? What even is that..
US is going to need it. The years of poor raises, benefits cuts, dysfunction, and poor work life balance are catching up. The younger generation won’t suffer through like the older generations.
There’s no career in the USA at PepsiCo. Your leadership is moving everything to India, Mexico and other countries
