Did T sell Mexico division to Televisa ?

Hearing rumors the deal is closing in the coming weeks, that T sold AT&T Mexico to Televisa (Izzi telecom division ) , Televisa is like Cablevision in Mexico they have both media and a Telecom arm (Izzi) . Curious if anyone knows any details and specifically how much it sold for considering it cost $4.3B in 2014-15 to acquire Nextel and Lusocel


Layoffs expected on the 30th or 31st based on recent pattern

Same pattern as before. Layoffs started in Mexico, then move to USA/IDC the following week.

This week, layoffs in Mexico happened on 3/25 and 3/26, cutting about 15.46% of the workforce.

This round seems larger than before since it took two days to complete.

If you want to verify, check the not-mdc-social channel. You can see the dates, pattern, and posts from people affected. Also compare with the previous layoff pattern across Mexico, IDC, and USA.

Let me know if your data shows something different.

Is this how it will go down? Any other info?

Layoffs confirmed by a senior leader at my plant that has majority experience in the corporate offices. They said it will impact a lot of corporate positions & may also impact some field roles. They said it’ll happen end of this week early next so brace yourselves! They’re blaming it on the merge but we all know they’re out sourcing roles to Mexico etc

Came across this while scrolling through our board, checking for updates. OP: @b5+1kbdhf394


Where in the world is Gajen Kandiah?

Has anyone ever seen GK physically in the US? His constant WebEx presentations can be done from anywhere in this world. With his close ties to Japan and the shifting of operations to Mexico City, Costa Rica, Poland and India from the US, it would be a fair guess that he is in India.


Offshoring tech, security, and GRC to Mexico and Costa Rica

I know for a fact that all these functions are being offshored to Mexico and Costa Rica because I've interviewed with executives in taking on a role to do it. Latin America is perfect because their time zone is in sync with the US. They have highly educated and skilled workforces in technology, security, and GRC. Their wages are 30% to 35% of US employees. They speak perfect English.


Monthly WFR's and moving to low-cost countries

HPE is on a monthly WFR schedule now to prepare for the divestiture of the ES (services) division. I am in management and since 2012, my best estimation is that the company has WFR'd (workforce reduction) around 100,000 people either outright or by "moving" jobs to low-cost locations. They have a stated goal of having 80% of their workforce in so called locations and they are quite proud of that. Many departments are being outsourced as well with employees moving to contracting companies on 1-3 year assignments before they can be completely let go. Not a great place to further your career unless you are in Mexico, Costa Rica, India, or Malaysia. It would be a misnomer to label HPE as a U.S. company anymore.


I'm not sure why some people are against the Carrier/UTC corporate tax benefits being sponsored by the new government administration...

That is exactly what we need as a Nation in order to be able to compete apples-to-apples with Countries like Costa Rica, Mexico, Singapore, Vietnam, Slovakia, Czech, and our cousins from Puerto Rico. If I own a Company and can keep my operations/people at a competitive cost in the Continental US, why in the h--l would I offshore those jobs?

Next step is to add tariffs to imported finished, semi-finished, and raw components, and I can assure you Companies will start bringing manufacturing operations back. Yes, it will take time to re-do the supply chains, but we really need to start fixing the mess created during the last 25 years...


Watch out Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Mexico, India, Vietnam, Slovakia, etc.

With Trump winning, offshoring and tax havens will see BIG changes in the next few years. And you know what? It was about time... Nothing personal, guys, but if my job is in jeopardy by you potentially taking it... What do you want me to say... President Trump... President Donald Trump...


Medtronic Boulder Layoffs

It is going to be 12-18 months to transfer pads and pencil product lines Costa Rica and Mexico (thanks for outsourcing our jobs Medtronic). Going to try to keep current permanent employees by transferring them to other openings as they come up but it is expected there will be more than a few that lose their jobs. Probably me at this rate. I love that this John Jordan guy says our facility is an "R&D" campus and mature products are built elsewhere. How many decades have we built pads and pencils? 30+ years?
