India Finally Getting Hit

Believe it or not, VDSI team finally getting hit by RIFs. Marni's pet projects in IOT and M2M -- team being let go in 3 months. More to come there... finally figuring out that offshoring is not working, even at $12/hr. You still need 5 times as many people to do the work of 1 onshore.

When is she getting the boot? She has caused so much damage and is completely incompetent. Like Verizon's own Marissa Mayer.

I doubt if it is good in any way: i.e. I REALLY doubt if the execs say "Oh, offshoring isn't working, let's increase the US headcount" More, "let's cut offshore as well"
