EIS lost about 360 dedicated employees on March 31st. Some of them have worked for Paragon for decades. Some had gotten lazy and needed to be let go years ago. Others of us were true assets. None of that matters though because the fact remains: They were RIFed because executives want to increase their own personal profits in addition to pleasing shareholders. The sad irony is that a good number of American employees who were cut were also shareholders because they believed in this company and its mission. We have all been betrayed.
None of this would have been possible without deliberate abuse of the H1B visa program. Good American jobs have been handed over to low-skilled Indians in direct violation of the visa requirements. And the Remainders will face the same thing within the year. It's long past time to stop complaining and to stop assisting off-shore in their efforts to steal our jobs. Get mad and stand up for yourselves!
The biggest power McKesson and EIS have right now is secrecy. McKesson RIFs rarely make the news because they excel at deceit. Start spreading the word and let the Healthcare IT community know what's going on!
Contact your local newspapers and tell them what's been going on.
Contact your Congressmen and tell them what's been going on.
Contact the hospitals that use our software and tell them what's going on. Explain to them how patient safety is being sacrificed for corporate greed and contempt of American workers.
Contact the Department of Justice and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and tell HIM what's going on, and how H1B has been abused.
Contact President Trump, Steve Bannon, and the Trump administration and insist that they severely penalize corporations that sacrifice American workers by abusing H1B visas and by off-shoring our jobs to India through companies like TCS.
Stand up and fight against this corrupt organization that stabs its workers in the back while telling us that it's all going to be OK. The more passive we are, the more they take from us. Not mad yet? Watch that 60 Minutes video and watch the Indian head of the 'consulting' company laugh at the stupidity of Americans for letting their jobs be taken from them
Then do something about it!
