Signed a 2 yr contract with the company, and am 2 months in and already wanting to run for the hills. Best way to win the layoff lottery?

Neither a contractor, signed a relocation package to move cross country. No way am i going to pay that back.
HCL “Suppliers” fall under a different category than “Contractors.” Contractors have an expatriation date; Suppliers continue on indefinitely at 35% or more reduced salary compared to a Cummins role. I’ve known HCL Suppliers onboard for 10 years, while both Cummins personnel and Contractors all fell off. HCL Suppliers all win the lottery.
So you are a contractor? If so, you aren't going to win the layoff lottery.
Infosys and HCL are both competitors in the Indian outsourcing of American jobs. HCL has been in-house to Cummins for nearly 20 years. Infosys is taking HCL employees and services within Cummins. You’ll be working for an Indian company, at 35% or more reduced salary for the same role within Cummins.
What is Infosys or HCL?
You should’ve signed with either Infosys or HCL. You wouldn’t be layed off, but you’d earn 35% less salary for the same level of work from Cummins.
