Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Hiring offshore to save a buck is extremely foolish

Just another day with another outage caused by a change request performed in India.

Can’t understand a single work they’re saying.

What could possibly go wrong?

We outsource most of our IT development & test to India. When we looked at cost per feature, we found that even though the outsourced resources were paid a fraction of what the US based resources were paid, our cost per feature working per spec increased by five times and sev 1 defects increased 5-10 times.

Hey I like diversity as well but you SHOULD NEVER put all your eggs in one basket. You should also award jobs to countries that use AT &T service.

Yep. Don't forget the Pinto and exploding saga. Save a dollar, get sued millions.

This is what happens when decisions are made using only a portion of an equation.

Ford decided to use an overseas suppliers for their microchips because it saved $5 per F150. But when the supply chain broke, they couldn't sell any of those $60k trucks because there were no microchips.

Short-sighted, penny wise, dollar foolish.

In today’s interconnected world, workplaces are microcosms of our global society. The vibrant tapestry of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that converge within office walls is a testament to the richness of human experience. As an advocate for diversity, I wholeheartedly embrace the kaleidoscope of differences that define our workforce. I suggest you do the same.

Did either have any talent or were they just a couple of hacks?
