Thread regarding Optum layoffs

This coming week US IT will be seeing layoffs...

I thought we were safe after the last one where a couple people got cut, but it's happening again this week. Guess I'll know if I still have a job by the end of this week...

It takes 3 offshore master degreed Computer Scientists (and they still can’t touch type nor do anything from a command prompt) to equal one ‘real world’ experienced American software engineer. And the males in Mumbai profile pics look like John Travolta circa 1977. Upper management all bought on the cloud boondoggle as well, hilarious to give Amazon or Microsoft the keys to all your data when they are competing in the same space!!

Employment at will doctrine-only in America. You have very few if any employment rights. You are a modern day slave, a source of tax revenue for the empire/corporation. Most were simps who really believed in the company -US empire propaganda, the "news" , manufactured CONsent. Bread and circuses of sports and tabloid "news" with lotsa advertisements selling you the dream. It's a US nightmare--ship of fools

Just got the phone call that I am laid off effective immediately. Didn't see it coming. Had a 1 on 1 with my supervisor about a week ago and was told I was doing good. Don't think that you are an exception. I am actually a little relieved from the job stress. Looking forward to my new endeavors.

Offshore sucks at IT. What a joke! They can't solution their way out of a paper bag! They read totally from scripts!
