I don't have any co-workers at my office (or state) but am required to come into office 4 days per week. My co-workers in India, who do have other workers at their sites, are only required to come in 10 days per month. Is this discrimination against the US workers to get them to quit? When I ask AI, it says yes and gives online fed agencies to enter in complaints to. Has anyone done this? Which agency did you lodge your complaint? Even if it goes no further, I'd like to enter in a complaint about this company's H1B and offshore Anti-American worker policies.

Don't bother. Red November 🍒 is coming soon.
You....asked AI about it
We're doomed as a society
I hope you do report it. The 4 days a week while no other coworkers or managers are required to be in office while we take teams calls with tech is rediculous
@a8 i agree but decided to do it anyway. i don't feel right just letting this go even if it goes nowhere. i'm not the only one being singled out on a team because of my country of origin and the company wanting to move more jobs to india. it's not difficult to submit a complaint online to the various agencies and maybe it will help someone in the future that has bigger discrimination issues due to living in the USA.
@af it's not its own division if US emps are under mgmt that resides in india
When you have no coworkers to meet with the "meeting in person has value" RTO excuse certainly rings hollow. At best it's an effort to justify the company's real estate holdings; at worst it's an effort to make you want to quit (as if meager bonuses, sub-inflation raises and recent reduction in company 401K match weren't enough).
I had the same situation and presented my manager with a strong case for an exemption to the RTO mandate. But my manager was unwilling to go to bat for me ... and had trouble even pronouncing "exemption."
If you get no value from being in the office and your "leadership" hasn't bothered to define exactly how they expect you to abide by the vague RTO mandate, there are ways to comply while not only avoiding rush hour but also making fewer than 4 round trips to the office per week.
Offshore is a it consulting company, just named to be Optum or whatever. This is how money laundering works
No, they want you to quit.
It's not illegal, offshore is a different division entirely with it's own policy vs onshore.
while i agree, good luck.... seems like beating a dead horse. UHG has so many lawyers to make sure they play the game "correctly"
