So....what's up with SalesForce being down part of the day? Clients calling in and couldn't even help them because we couldn't see their accounts....

@14s a quick google ask shares this: An engineer in India is generally paid approximately 10% to 25% of what a counterpart with the same role and experience earns in the US (a 4x to 10x salary difference). While software engineers in the US may average around $140,000, similar roles in India often pay closer to $15,000–$45,000, heavily influenced by location and skill level.
@14s I can't tell you what Jones pays it's outsourced workers. I can tell you I was recently told by a partner at an accounting firm that he could hire offshore workers for $6000 a year and no benefits. The media starting salary for a 1st year public accounting hire is around $65,000 with benefits.
@ky What do they get paid per hour approximately?
You get what you pay for. We pay cheap Indian labor now so that's what we get.
Look up "enshitifcation". It's what happens when you replace American developers with H1bs and outsourced 3rd worlders. It's cheaper but you end up with a sh-t product.
Penny’s Retirement Plan (courtesy of our former McKinsey colleagues over in Firm Strategy)
Step 1) Layoff HQ GPs and associates haphazardly. It doesn’t matter which ones, the objective is to cost cut.
Step 2) Outsource to India
Step 3) Profit
Step 4) Ask remaining HQ workforce to do more with less
And that’s how we got a talent bleed and system failures…
I’m sure a highly paid team of H1-Bs will get it sorted, and I’m equally sure the $3.99 labor force replacing us had absolutely nothing to do with it going down.
@OP same here - not one status update. Sad!
@OP sounds like some kind of technical issue.
No clue, at home office a couple months ago we had a cyber attack that took everything down and had dept leaders on a big bridgeline to figure out what to do. Not one freaking email or update went out to address it. Normally a massive tech failure gets several emails and status updates sent. It was weird and sketchy AF. We have tech glitches and bugs all over our systems at home office. It's a joke how dodgy they are but we still waste millions on PR/Marketing BS and keep outsourcing tech to india to save a few coins off the bottom line. It's going to get worse once we assume our AI bots will fix everything and the code is written by the lowest overseas bid.
