Before I left in Jan 2024, there were a few shadow layoffs in late 2023. At that point the writing was on the wall for me, people that excelled at what they did with a bunch of experience 15-20yrs were laid off. It was basically these people are being paid too much money and we are going to transition their work offshore. The issue with that is it took 2-3 offshore folk to absorb that 1 persons work and they still are coming up to speed when I left. Looks good to the shareholders but is it really helping the bottom line? No one really looks at the hidden costs to offshoring that go beyond a simple salary. I don't really thin RA is different than many other large corps. I will glad to retire someday from that rat race.
@1zzl+1sOyXUis makes an excellent point.
