How is a company based in the US having the majority of its workers based in India?
What is the ratio? 1:20? There has to be a law against this. Also with other companies doing this, what do they expect the millions of SWE getting laid off to do? This will backfire badly, in everyone’s faces.
No hate to Indians btw.. they want to work just like us. I’d take the job without any hesitation if the roles were flipped.
@bt I know the very reason most people voted in the elections that work here are hoping your same sentiment but actually things will get worse, not better. The people made a mistake. It is too late now. But unfortunately I am afraid that we are now in for a very rough long haul.
Capitalism and a government owned by corporations and billionaires. Hopefully the outcome of yesterday's election will help at least slow down this insanity and massive corruption. There need to be more regulations on corporations to stop this cr*p. .
“We need to have a workforce that reflects those we serve.”
@ab Agreed. The Indians bring in a working style that is incompatible with the high trust work environments that we've cultivated in the west. The casteism/racism they show is real. Just track any Indian management progression over time and watch the composition of their reports change, then tell me they were the most qualified.
We can both scoff at the executives who make this decision to destroy their local economy AND the people taking the jobs and corrupting the work culture at the same time.
Vote with your dollars. Cancelling my policy as a customer after the new year. That's the most power you have.
When they sidestepped visa restrictions by opening a brick and mortar office on soil in India, the writing was on the wall.
all hate towards Indians. They have displaced American citizens - regardless of who is at fault, they benefit while American working class is suffering.
It's just the truth
Capitalism. Companies can hire anyone they want to for whatever the price they have budgeted for. If they are getting similar work done for cheaper price, then they will gladly do it. 150k USD will buy 3 engineers in India, so hire a lead and two mid levels who will get things done than hire 1 american engineer. I understand it is unfortunate to american engineers but it is what it is. Will you not take a better salary and leave your job when you get better opportunity? Same way for companies
It simply amazes (and disgusts) me to see the stock continue to go up for corporations that persist in displacing American citizen workers (some military veterans even) to hire so many non-American citizens in their place.
Surely, by now, what is taking place has hit both main street and wall street.
Shareholders are part of the problem and by continuing to invest in these corporations, they are enabling and even guilty partaking in the same lack of patriotism. It will come back on them, eventually.
