Leadership visits to TII

I've seen and heard of almost every single L7+ leader of people in the company that work with TII is visiting the new campus in India from beginning of October through January. Does anyone have any info on why? There's absolutely no reason for them to be flying so many people out just to tour a new shiny campus. Feels like more of our work is shifting to TII.

The timing seems normal. Need to burn end of year travel budgets and people like to get out of the US to warmer climates in the winter.

That said, yes of course they are sending more jobs to India. It’s been the trend for over 10 years and about 50% of our operations are there now. Don’t get me wrong, I hate it. But there’s no reason to think this trend won’t continue until the majority of HQ is located overseas.

Yah but they are only paying salaries of like $25K US dollars. I’m hearing a lot more teams will soon transition to TII.

Procurement let go of an entire team and moved it all to TII. I think this is going to be the start of a new trend.

I have felt the same way with the announced changes and the new building announcement. It feels like they are investing more into tii and ai for the long-term and slowly shifting out us employees.

Yes! Had the exact same impression. So many leader visits to TII this fall. I don’t know where they will find opportunity to push more jobs overseas. But I’m sure they will. Yucky.
