PricewaterhouseCoopers' backroom pivot to India
Betraying American workers through strategic offshoring and academic partnerships
In May 2025, PricewaterhouseCoopers laid off 1,500 American workers, about 3% of its U.S. workforce. This followed another reduction of 1,800 U.S.-based employees just months earlier in late 2024.
Publicly, PwC blamed "historically low attrition rates" and "overcapacity." However, the real narrative reveals a betrayal: While American workers faced layoffs, PwC intensified its investment in India.
"This was a difficult decision and we made it with care … and a deep awareness of its impact on our people," PwC claimed in a statement about the layoffs.
However, this sentiment contrasts sharply with the company's previous commitment in 2021 to create over 100,000 net new jobs over five years in "critical areas such as cyber-security, cloud, climate, transformation and supply chain."
In just three years, PwC reached three-quarters of this target, adding 6,161 jobs in FY24 and a total of 68,681 jobs over the previous two years, bringing its global workforce to more than 370,000. However, this growth appears to exclude American professionals, suggesting that the anticipated "future workforce" is increasingly foreign and displacing U.S. workers. The promise of 100,000 new jobs stands in jarring contrast with their recent U.S. layoffs.
So where is the layoff list we were promised?
Need to ask the guy who saw the list (may be he saw Aug2025 list, usually they plan/compile the list in May for Aug LR).
No layoffs, stock will hit 52week high tomorrow :-)

Ug,
Remember that you can just leave, especially if you’re willing to go outside of tech. Just ask for a package. If you actually did things at Cisco like publish deliverables and have a good work ethic people will give you a chance. However if you decide to go somewhere and work 25 hours a week at a new company like legacy employees then things won’t work out.
- The whole TAC will move to India FY2028
- AMER will only have SSPT & HTTS and CNS engineers
Makes sense why Chuck was in India few months ago... something is going on... are they moving Cisco to India?
nope, they are moving India to Cisco
