Doesn't the RAT created so much redundancy there, seriously as usual not much impact to them and they will be celebrating yet again. Can't understand why, just because cheap?

@bv Very timely. Heard our CEO is coming here to meet the Cricket Board in India.
Bunch of yt people here whining when the offshoring and layoffs have been explicitly targeting Black people.
Warehouse layoffs. Manufacturing layoffs. Facilities. Stores. It's ALWAYS us!
Every move made by Indian leaders at Nike replaced Black men and women with Indians. And everyone cries wondering why no ones buying anymore. Go huck some cricket shoes you spineless havks. We're done!
What departments are those 9 people in?
Why don't they move the entire company to India? Think of the money they will save! Also nationality is not race....
What do you think happens when h1bs are troubled? Jobs move Offshore, as simple as that.
Remember folx discrimination is illegal and bad but if I fire your entire nation while hiring replacements exclusively from my home ethnostate that's racial discrimination that is legal and good (for my family)
This is a great food for thought topic on a day when people are not worried about their jobs - move tech to India/ Asia - but don’t share the company culture with them, they build their own culture, mostly a hierarchal culture, then HQ complains about cultural differences with engineers in that a
Part of the world, don’t know enough about the actual skill set of people but I for one think the problem is not aligning the company culture , as opposed to the location of set people, again food for thought when things get better, for this week - good luck everyone!
Nike is going to get destroyed by the changing tides yet again. Our administration is already squeezing the H1b program. People are lobbying for offshored jobs to be heavily taxed and the bills are already being written.
Our leaders are completely clueless and our Indian masters don't care about Nike surviving another year.
@ac oooow wow! 9 people got fired from India!! What a hit!!!
Yes
Looks my collegues in Nike are a bunch of racists, who hold a person's nationality above merit and talent.
Everywhere GT has a VP from India, they hire mostly Indian people. The same goes for the Indian directors at WHQ. Where is diversity?
I think the answer is simple: ITC is cheaper than WHQ, and similar in price to PTC. However, ITC has a huge lobbying influence on GT. Most of its VPs are from India and represent Indian culture, which is why they invest in India. Furthermore, they can combine business trips with visiting family in India. Win-win.
Well, this aged poorly, ITC is getting hit now
But is the labor useful or just cheap?
Of course it's because labor is cheaper than the United States
