As per Girish, Seems like Honeywell is going to offshore engineering in IGS.

We are simply the best in India. Because if we weren’t why don’t you stop us? I dare you and we will fire you

Yeah we have 2 very distinct issues…

  1. offshoring in general and the quality drop which ends up costing more.
  2. the very public use of offshoring ONLY and SYSTEMATICALLY to one specific country. Not only that but the replacement of all engineering leadership with people from ONLY that country which enables even more systematic outsourcing to only their country of origin. It’s not even hidden. They boast about it while thinking we are not able to see the wave

What we should do is hammer with this question in the next town hall and all hands meeting.

I honestly can't tell if you are joking or if you genuinely don't understand how global corporations operate. The offshoring of jobs from the US to other countries started 40 years ago because people at the highest levels of HW made that choice over and over again for the past 40 years. It's not a foreign country or government thats doing it... its HW. Obviously the foreign countries like it because they are getting the jobs but those countries do not have the power to make that decision for HW...

1j3MsPsG,
Enough philosophy…. A very specific country is always pushing to import more and more.
Do you see Mexico do that? Any country in europe? China? Russia?
The problem is not outsourcing in general but the manner and ways a specific country operate. It is well know as stated before by many that the quality is not there. Instead of spending much energy trying to replace people, maybe get better and real at engineering? Then you may shine. Rigth now it’s all BS girlish !

Offshoring has always been the goal so long as greedy shareholders are involved... it's been happening continuously for 40 years ever since Jack Welch started it at GE and then other companies followed. The shareholders love it because it's a quick and dirty way to maximize the returns on their investment... and they literally don't care what country gets those jobs. Neutron Jack himself had a vision that factories would not be built on land but on massive ships so he could keep sailing around the world for the cheapest labor at any time.

If offshoring really grinds your gears then getting upset at a foreign country and its workers is useless... the foreign workers didn't make the call to offshore those jobs and factories... the people at the top did (the major shareholders, the board of directors, and top executives). The people at the top love it when offshoring is viewed as a "foreigner" problem... and not a deliberate business strategy by those who are in control. That kind of nonsense is how they keep the heat off of themselves while they slowly destroy the country that is losing the jobs.

By all means be upset. But make sure you focus that energy where it counts...

Politics with one goal. Bring more of them in all positions. It’s not about helping HON it’s about helping themselves, and their village or caste. Horrible and systematic behavior

Those people that are always promoting offshore from their own country of origin are pathological liars using fake finance tricks to claim savings that are never true.

It’s not finance… they use finance to cover up the slow replacement of everything by transplanted offshore from ONLY their country

True but if it takes 2 of them to do 1 local engineers job they will still go for it. This is what happens when someone from finance background takes engineering decisions.

Yeah but Mexico can't do anything independently.

If they are going to offshore, it will be Mexico and not India. Mexico rate is lower than India.

Duh. And by offshore they mean their shore.
That country has least diverse workforce in the world.
Downright racist.
