Thread regarding State Street Corp. layoffs

@3ph

Agree 100%, that is why they keep a few token U.S workers to cleanup the mess created by the Indian staff.
I remember when I worked there the company motto's were.

Are employee's are our greatest asset.

We expect at least 90% of the work being done is error free.

How things have changed, now new company motto is.

U.S workers are our greatest expenses.

Who cares if the Indian staff is producing error filled useless work.
That is why we have the U.S staff to fix their work

There's a symbiotic relationship between management and these type of foreign workers. Management can't find any local workers to stroke their egos so they look elsewhere. And who are the people that does it best but these foreign workers that are the master of brown nosing.

What's interesting is moment these workers are placed above anyone in a team hierarchy; all of sudden the dynamics changes. They start treating you disrespectfully. They think team hierarchy is equivalent to their caste system. It's frustrating that local workers constantly have to clean up their mess.

Just visit the cafeteria in the John Adams Bldg in North Quincy.
And you will see how 75% of it was redone to serve only Indian Food.

With the remaining 25% serving American food.

@1tj does Ron know how to spell AI?

@1t2 I'd be surprised if Ron knew what AI stands for.

offshore jobs, layoff American, and blame AI

AI will eliminate them all... just a few years ahead

While some recruiters are based in Boston according to the job reqs on Workday, much of the recruiting process appears to involve offshore teams.

I suspect that some local job postings for Boston and Quincy may primarily exist to satisfy legal requirements before the roles are filled by offshore workers. It seems possible that local candidates are reached out to with low offers that do not match the level of responsibility required. When these offers are rejected, it provides justification to close the local requisition and repost the position in Indian locations.

@OP It's not true that all recruiters are based in India. My recruiter was Boston-based and not Indian.

That is why they keep a few token U.S workers to fix all the hot garbage useless error filled work being done by the Indian staff.

And while your fixing the Indian staff work your Boss will ask you, why you haven't finished your work.
You tell him or her you asked me to fix the Indian staff work.
They will reply " Cann't you multitask ?

the work product coming out of india, for the most part, is hot garbage and ends up hitting the worklife balance of those of us still standing.
