I think it is funny how many rebadged employees SF has hired back.
More proof of the catastrophic success.
Suprised people want to go back.

I cannot wait until all of the SF people are gone from HCL (either due to being hired back or going elsewhere) and the HCL project goes down in complete flames
Pension has already been eliminated. It was funded for everyone already in it the day it ended for new hires.
All can be fixed with the elimination of the pension
You will see big changes. Huge!
It's sad that people generalize those who had pensions or that found jobs back within SF after being rebadged to HCL are somehow less capable. While pensions are old-school by today's standards, they fostered loyalty both ways, which however you want to view it, was good for SF. You'd be surprised how many people took large pay cuts to go to work at SF years ago because they thought the investment in the company would pay off later.
I'm a rebadger. I know a few people who have chosen to take other jobs back within SF. They have their reasons, mainly being they need to support their families and cannot relocate. There's nothing wrong with that. They're good, hard-working employees, and they tolerated this arrangement as long as they could. Good for SF also because they bring company knowledge back with them.
I also know many, including my two rebadged managers, who left and are working at other companies now. All that's really left at HCL is a skeleton crew of rebadgers holding things together, giving those back at SF a false sense of accomplishment for getting rid of us boat anchors...lol.
Things are so serious with the lack of offshore "talent" that offshore analysts are now tasked with re-playing what they've learned from us rebadgers to their 3rd level management(Director in SF talk). They were in panic mode last week because they had to start prepping their presentations. As you might imagine, that isn't going so well. Offshore people I work with directly have basically learned nothing in two months and took no initiative to learn.
The major problem with SF is leadership has ZERO comprehension of its history and values. It has TOTALLY lost focus on its mission and vision making it another corporate cookie cutter company. It gradually went that direction starting in 2000. When it refocuses its capitol on internal and external customers it may become the best insurer it once was. Until then, it will be a take care of yourself, business decision, and an "all about me" chaos cluster.
Freeze the pension in 2026 when everyone is vested. Buy out those with ten years or less. And watch the old timers flee. It’s the only way. Freeze the pension I 2026
Pensioners are the most incapable individuals in IT. All office politics and yapping garbage, taking credit for work by knowledgeable people by saying "we need to collaborate" etc. They absolutely don't know anything in IT and just repeat and spew what someone knowledgeable says. Statefarm really needs to let a LOT of people go.
If SF made the right decision there would be bo job to hire them back to.
You sound not very bright. Must be an exec.
Just demonstrates the rebadges cannot find any other employment. SF made the right initial decision.
Su-ks they will not be able to keep adding to their pension, bad decision by SF.
