We went from working with the vendor’s offshore contractors to now converting them to FTEs and bringing more of them. At the same time, hiring here is being scaled back, and I’d expect local headcount to keep dropping as the India team ramps up. Wondering how you see that playing out.

To employees in India offices, how do you feel about job security? Express feedback regarding management and interactions with other office locations globally.

Real talent cost as much as PHK.

Many at TIAA-CREF who are familiar with the deal that they inked with Accenture a couple of yrs ago, are stating things are not going

One TIAA commentator says quote:

“There was no legitimate transformative purpose, except to hire more offshore (India) for cheap labor. It's a mess here at TIAA.”
It’s a mess ! Just think, before the 2024 agreement, TIAA had been working with Accenture for years before, but the new deal has not panned out and there are delays, errors, slowdowns, outright abandoning of activity. This, and combined with earlier posters stating Indians work slower & only do 50 % of the work the Americans.

Word to Rich, Malarki, & the Boca Ex VP: Hire Accenture. W/No knowledge. 50% of the pay, and 50% of the work productivity. Then factor in client defections & the real net benefit is a big $0.00

This has to be a new record and 3M Management deserves some kind of reward!
So basically it's been just a few days since 75% of the GSC in Poland was informed that they're going to Genpact and the remaining 25% are being moved to a different 3M entity. These people were quite optimistic in this s*itty situation, at least they won't experience the pure chaos that GP has to offer, right? Well the dream lasted only until early this week when a certain Town Hall was held for one of the departments where management was happy to announce that "some" processes are going to move to a new 3M entity in India 😀 Just imagine this for a second, having a bit of relief because you were about to get a better option than Genpact and then finding out - just a few days later! - that you were going to be sold to 3M India instead of Genpact 😂 Actually this is now a worse option than goong to GP, they will get to work at GP for about a year, while 3M India has the potential to swallow you up way faster... The ink on the contracts these people signed with 3M Poland didn't even dry... This has to be a record even in the corpo world, congratulations 3M!

So Lending Operations for USBank USA is moving to USBank India.
part of many layoff in the future as USBank India has capacity for 40,000 employees.

Also of note was the reason why we are now USBank India is because we are global corporation and we work with people-le across the world

So how does this fit in with RTO and collaboration with co workers in office if everyone is in India and sleeping while we are working?

My sources say that both groups are being outsourced to India

A•S•S•centure had it's worst day in it's history today. Declining sales. Layoffs. War distruptioms. Uncertainty in India. Stock down 18%.

Bone crushing blow. Mutual of America is laying off over 200 employees over the next 15 months and shipping the jobs to India. A fleecing of America. An American company selling out. A giant suc-king sound. Morale is rock bottom. Mental Health counselors are on high alert. People are crushed. Devastated. Company can't find ways to raise revenue. Has to resort to cuts only. Accenture benefits. Mutual is now double paying: FIS ($8M) + Accenture ($~18M). Just think, the old system only only costs $8M per year. Now, they pay tripplethat

I retired from Nielsen 5+ years ago. A former coworker pointed me to this site, so I'm out of the loop. I only ended up on the careers page because my son just graduated with an engineering degree, and I thought the Oldsmar facility would be a great place for him to start. Instead, I'm perplexed; are all the engineering jobs in India now? What actually happened to Nielsen? The engineering culture and work at Oldsmar used to be great, but now it seems like a ghost town. Catch me up on what I missed (and yes, I realize now I should probably steer my son elsewhere!)

How are those of us here that got laid off / job eliminated / reduction in force / replaced by HIH / replaced by Indian substandard cheaper labor doing?

Have you all moved on or still bitter?

Me and one other let go today. Chatter of STS layoffs in the area of 10% coming as more transitions to India.

This week it was confirmed that a new group of team members has transferred from India to the US.

They will continue to do rolling layoffs in cat finance through 2027. This is currently not AI layoffs but jobs to overseas. Personally witness interviews for people in india on jobs that's traditionally did not exist in that region

https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/10/opendoors-india-exit-is-fueling-a-bigger-conversation-about-ai-and-outsourcing/

MDT is basically run out of India these days. It's only a matter of time before everything except sales ends up there.

Anyone considered transferring and working for pennies?

Employees report ongoing layoffs, aggressive cost-cutting measures, and a continued expansion of operations in India. Cybersecurity and operational teams have been among those affected, raising concerns about the future of U.S.-based roles.

According to discussions among employees, more work is being transferred overseas as the company focuses on reducing costs and consolidating operations. Many are questioning the long-term impact on workforce stability, service quality, and institutional knowledge.

The lack of transparency surrounding these changes has become a growing concern for employees across the organization.

The deal is underwriting with fine details. The mobility part of the company will be fully managed by two well-known companies from India

Well, what leaders, especially certain SVPs, VP’s, and Sr. Directors, have been waiting for has happened. The $100K H1B visa fee has been blocked by a Federal Court. The wheels are already turning in RR and Austin to start lining up all the relocations from India to the US. While those are in process, a new large round of US citizen layoffs is in the works. My SVP is an Indian, and I just overheard his conversation with his Indian Sen. Director to start looking at Bangalore candidates to consider moving. It’s never going to end!

Heard from the India team that Muhi Majzoub was in India last week. In a meeting with employees and presence of HR, he basically dropped hints that layoffs are coming down the pipeline soon.

Sounds like salary hikes are definitely getting delayed or might not even happen at all. On top of that, they're fast-tracking performance reviews right now to flag low performers before making the cuts.

Anyone got more details on this?

They’re pulling folks straight out of sales teams in India and dropping them into maintenance and engineering gigs on site?
Latest one: Girl with 7 years in BTC sales just landed an electrical engineer role in BMT. And the announcements are full of these examples.
I’m genuinely disgusted and disappointed. When did “fit the role” stop mattering for jobs that keep operations safe and running?

This is pure abuse of L1/L2 visa. Someone should report this

Where is the finish line?

Bloomberg says:
Tata consulting services has brought 6500 L1 visas to USA from India.
L1 is for 'Managers'. Many were not managers at all l, just a cheap labor with fake titles used to bypass immigration and take Local jobs. Also submitted about 25k H1B applications.
Surprisingly most of these visa holders are in Ford, Stellantis and GM

Tata Consultancy CEO brought in 6,500 L-1A “managers” to America from India.

Bloomberg says: many weren’t managers at all, just cheaper labor with fake titles used to bypass H-1B rules and fees.

PHK or ITC, the same culture. We'll see where this takes the company.

They opened a massive GCC offshore location in Chennai, India today. I heard from.Sr. VP that they are going to systematically start replacing American jobs with offshore starting starting next quarter as part of cost cutting. This company is doomed if executives think offshoring is the solution to all their problems.
My advise is start looking for other jobs while you are still ahead, especially if you are in IT/engineering roles, tech support and remote roles.

"We believe this approach will strengthen our capabilities, enable around-the-clock operations and allow access to key skills at scale — while preserving our culture, quality and security standards," the company said.

Nothing like preserving your culture while moving it to the third world!

India's government is upset about H-1B delays because their citizens are "stranded back home"?
This is getting worse everyday.. millions of locals are getting effected.

this goes out to the US or other high-cost geos - is anyone else hearing about a new team that was secretly created and "want to learn" about your project/product?

i've heard from 2 different groups that this has happened outside of my coterie.

Why did bp increase headcount 18% last year with ongoing strategic layoffs?
Has AI permitted bp to be leaner and meaner? And simpler?
Is bp’s AI a thing? Has bp’s super computer actually resolved making operations safer and more productive?
Are the 15,000 new employees hired last 20 months based in India? Are we removing one western employee and hiring 3 Sub Continent employees ?

Thoughts on this? As H1Bs have to go back and apply? Or will they just outsource more to India and keep them there?

On Wednesday over 20 employees in IT were laid off. Management bringing in replacements on H-1B visas from India and Canada.

I feel like it’s already happening….. They have the data entry part down for spreading financials. What would stop USB from telling them to also do write ups etc.?

It feels like the only professions untouchable by india is law, medical, and trades…..

the company is moving EVERYTHING to India

VZI completely collapsed, So many people's layedoff. Mostly band 7,8 . Management role are much secure and encrypted like any other role. While at the same time T mobile & ATT have expanded there operation with a lot of hiring.

Seems VZI going to be shutting down soon. As two Indian leader been shaked ( Shankar and Sampath.)

Fu--ing disrespectful to see postings/ openings based in Bangalore today on LinkedIn.

What about EMEA/APAC/India??? Some say other regions follow - one reply says EMEA was already informed - another says Americas only. Which is it?
