@qax+17sEspHh: Managers have been put into support positions because our remaining customers need to communicate with someone who speaks clear English.

@ied+17sEspHh: you seem to be having a great time making fun of fellow associates here. I bet you're popular at parties, too.
While there may be some job postings for Allscripts located in the US, I've yet to see them over the past few months. If it's not too much of an imposition, kindly share the websites where domestic postings might be found.
One thing you may not be aware of, which is pretty obvious to those who were responsible for reviewing Indian hires: resume submissions tend to be direct copies of the actual job postings. There's also an unexpected pattern around newer technologies. Some technologies might be relatively new, one or two years of basic usage at a big technology firm (which excludes AS, obviously). However, the 'highly skilled' candidate will have been working with this new tech for 4 or 5 years! It's pretty amazing given that the candidate is about 23. An intelligent person might suspect that there's a high degree of fraud going on, but that can't possibly be. Can it?
The other thing you are definitely missing is that job requirements across a large percentage of companies tend to be almost impossible to fulfill as a domestic candidate. It's almost as if HR or the hiring manager/VP was trying to filter out a certain demographic, such as American engineers who would require a certain income. And their resumes tend to be missing a few 'required' skills... which no one at the company can ask about during an interview because no one has ever used them. And won't. But then a pile of resumes appear from Indian recruiters who are loaded with mastery of almost every possible skill imaginable! Who gets hired? Clearly the Indian technical schools are vastly superior to anything in the West. Only this group can master technology that tends to take a decade or more in the U.S. As before, this can't possibly be some kind of fraud, can it?
Not when you can be the heartbeat of this company.
@hye+17sEspHh Clearly you haven’t looked at job postings lately, if you believe every open req is in India. But sure, let’s keep spreading ridiculous hogwash and screaming that the sky is falling.
LK has verbally expressed a couple of times how much she loves India. She even said that 'India was the heartbeat of Allscripts' during an All-Hands meeting. That's about uncouth and unprofessional that one can lower themselves to, surpassed only by the gall of posting jobs in India while laying-off, en masse, the people who actually created the software.
It is my hope that something like Karma actually DOES exist, and that it pays back the people like LK and PB for what they've done to the staff. Those who put in time and energy in an attempt to create products that would benefit the company, our customers, AND their patients.
While our executives really have nothing to be proud of, all of the associates at Allscripts should be proud of what they've created.
Why are there so many managers in US for Support? Makes no sense.
More of the same? I expect that they'll keep everything going as long as possible because you need to squeeze ALL of the blood out of the stone before you k–l the goose that lays the golden eggs. There's some other metaphors I can mix in, but it wouldn't be polite.
With the Corporate Scavenging firm directing the moves at the top, I think they'll manage to keep it rolling a few more years before they're done with the rind, but basically expect the same stuff to keep happening just in a more controlled manner with weird timing.
Funny how every open job req on Allscripts site is in India. The writing has been on the wall for a while. Middle managers in the US, and all development and support performed offshore. A complete race to the bottom.
