Thread regarding USAA layoffs

Why so many contractors?

If it was about lean and mean and cost cutting, why are there so many contractors? In 2018, they said the ratios of FTE to contractors is very bad so they will hire more full time. Fast forward, contractors have multiplied but FTE roles haven't grown proportionately. Wonder why they are OK spending so much on external talent while the FTEs are few and are swamped always. Have seen team sizes just multiply in some areas and there are like 50+ contractors in one team. A team used to be around 16 is easily a ove 50 since covid. What's the deal? Why dont they hire more FTE and build internal knowledge? Does Trump know these stats?

@bg I strongly agree to this . D-mb Leads and Seniors joined from Consulting are taking D-mbest Juniors , so that that they elevate as clever . Direct Kitchen to USAA. Strong Audit is needed in every recruitment for FTE or Contractors.

@bh we're still dealing with the aftermath of AD in Technology. It will take years to cut all the dead weight she brought in to leadership positions due to preferential treatment.

@bg Every post is becoming nothing but racist, no sensitivity or understanding of ruthless corporate America. Sheer lack of understanding & egos of having tons of privileges. The corporate America doesn't want to deal with sick mind set people like you. The simple ease of not dealing with any HR administration work is simple the reason for getting contractors. Thousands of whites are contractors in this company. Actually more then any other races. I am sure people like you will be either get laid off or get converted in to contractor. Just complete uneducated behavior & understanding of corporations...God bless America...

Because desis have an entire industry engineered around getting as many of them here as possible

Kickbacks and interview schemes and fake cert programs to get people H4B spouses - you can’t even imagine how deep and tangled it is

Then when a desi gets hired as a leader they start preferentially hiring more of their own kind who will also behave like loyal serfs

For them they don’t mind cramming into an apt off Preston 4-5 to a unit because it’s still paradise compared to Hyderabad and Chennai
