IT workers brace for outsourcing, layoffs at health insurer

http://www.computerworld.com/article/3122431/it-outsourcing/it-workers-brace-for-outsourcing-layoffs-at-health-insurer.html

Employees anticipate that the IT work will be moved offshore, and that they will be training their replacements. They are concerned that the outsourcing will follow the playbook used at other companies, where employees train H-1B visa holders brought in by contractors, and that the training must be completed as a condition of severance.

“We’ve seen it happen in other companies, and now we’re the ones getting the slap in the face,” said one IT employee. “Good IT people will be out of work, and some of them won’t find replacement jobs. This H-1B abuse hurts Americans, and it hurts America. Shame on HCSC,” this employee said.

Keep America At work

United We Stand

Divided We Fall

If we purchase our products from China, then we have the products and China the money

But if we buy our products from America, then we have the products and the money

If we hire guest workers from India, then we have Unemployed Americans and India has our money

But if we hire Americans in America, then we have Americans working in America and the money

Its already happening, its been happening... I watched the whole storage group get launched about 2 weeks ago from another Health Insurer... This included IBM'ers and Contractors... All IT jobs are being outsourced, the American Worker can no longer compete...

I see a lot of HIPAA violations occurring in the near future for IBM... But they have the money to pay those fines...

Best plan is to do what I did, tell them your replacement is all trained up... Truth is I never trained them, as a matter of fact, I showed them how to screw up an environment and left a few easter eggs... BWAHAHA!!! KMAA!!! Best of luck...

I applied for H1B status, but unfortunately I was denied due to location of residence... Damn government...
