Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

7byj, no need to spam the board by repeating the same post over and over. we heard you the first time.

Where are all the HCL people that said the leak that came out about how they were going to take over and eliminate departments was a lie. Where are they now? Everything that got leaked out is happening now. Liars.

TRUTH. Never held accountable for delivering late or ever. Total joke, considering they also get golden parachutes.

Also, it may be the fault of the business to increase as much profit, but I also, highly doubt those $9/hr 'developers' are qualified to work on this type of software.

Someone should start an offshore outsourced C-suite capability. Think of how much money could be saved by offshoring directors, VPs, Presidents. Since quality doesn’t matter in software or infrastructure, why would it matter in “leadership”?

Make sure your ire is directed at the short term, stock-price driven folks and not the overseas engineers. They’re just trying to do a job. It’s the malignant focus on profit and the market that drives these decisions and leads to failure, not an unqualified person being given a job that he’s doomed to fail.

Also, unionize.

As the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

From the comments section:

"I have worked with Indian engineers, good and bad. HCL and Cyient are close to the bottom of the heap. TCS is at the bottom. The good engineers command salaries of $150K in India. They know their value.

$5-$9 engineers? They can barely write a proper sentence in English and their code has to be reviewed multiple times. How can they program safety systems?

I remember being handed a team of 22 engineers at $12/hr each. I replaced them with 3 US engineers. They knew what they were doing and I had enough time to chase other issues."

When no one with skill in the subject matter is managing the providers, this is one result. Amongst many, all well documented but greed seems to win. Sadly in today’s world the few managersnm “watching” the providers are not going to raise their hand and state they don’t know the material or whether providers are providing the service as specified.

This is so frustrating, unfair to capable Indian engineers, which HCL is too cheap to hire. But if they did, they'd be paying closer to US wages. All in the interest of paying stockholders! Oh, and C suite bonuses. Seldom do CFOs look at TOTAL cost of outsourcing, including Xerox. It's been pointed out many times about the back and forth revolving development door, yet the prevailing sentiment is still tilted toward outsourcing. I am all for globalization, it's good for the world, but companies aren't smart about it. As pointed out in the Boeing article, there are US companies that could be used for outsourcing.

“Provided quick workaround to resolve production issue which resulted in not delaying flight test of 737-Max (delay in each flight test will cost very big amount for Boeing).”
