Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Well, I am since 28 years with HP and in some areas this is what happens. jobs get 'centralized' on a global level which in most cases means they move back to the USA.

This is not about only cost per employee it's about ease of collaboration, the lesser sites need to collaborate the easier and faster it shall be.

on the other side you loose a ton of expertise, global coverage etc. and one could ask why then all the customers around the world would buy HP products and services if they don't offer jobs in those countries. e.g. about 60% of the revenue comes from outside of the USA.

so I am not sure if "jobs back to the USA" will result in anything better in the long run. and btw walking thru IT department in Palo Alto more than half of all the folks don't have a US passport. ...

Automation, robotics, AI will call all of you, regardless...

Beats me

you can try that and your stock price will be -5 dollars !

eerrrmmmm .....Manila is redundant. move work to India and take some back to US. it's simple,

Why do you think they offshored them to start with? Let me give you some multiple choice answers to choose from:

1) Those foreigners are far better at IT.

2) Asians speak much better English than Americans.

3) Meg and Mike have a holiday villa in Manilla.

4) Meg and Mike really like spicy food.

5) Asians cost a hell of a lot less to employ, business premises are cheaper, the company pays less taxes and they have fewer workers rights.

And your answer is...

Er, because employing people in the US is MUCH more expensive?
