It's awful what's going on in this company. Do they really think it could be a good idea to replace someone with a great skillset with an below-average employee who is not even motivated to do his new job?
My personal opinion is that if they intended to cut costs in this way, they will soon realize that it will end up costing them a lot more.

@Lapp+1f66KsU2 - but they work cheap...
Tech-M and HCL are horrendous. It's really impossible to overstate how incompetent that they are...
"Why pay any employee $85k - $90k, when you can find an employee for a lower wage regardless of their expertise."
Cuz ya get what ya pay for, and a whole lot of pssssd off providers and patients, as the last couple of years have shown. But seeing as the are slowly selling everything off so they can fully transition to the most lucrative endeavors possible, it's safer to say they just dont give a sh-t.
Send those dollars going to all those Ascension commercials to patient care issues, and act like you care. You moneygrabbers. We will never go to another Ascension healthcare facility again!!!
there are better offerings for healthcare like the nearest competitor.
Integration Partners and Worldwide getting that phat check for backfilling all those eliminated project jobs.
Eventually, they will lose doctors and clinicians over this, there are lots of options for people like that. That's when things will start to change...
That works in many cases, generally not in healthcare. Ascension is trying to use conventional economics as described but patient safety and liability will eventually win.
Why pay any employee $85k - $90k, when you can find an employee for a lower wage regardless of their expertise. Just find any employee for a lower wage. Nothing else matters. Just find another employee that will accept the job for a lower wage. Any employee - as long as they'll work for a lower wage. Hire them. Fire any employee that won't work for the bare minimum. It is simple economics. Take a higher wage earner. Fire them. Hire a low wage earner. It's simply math.
It's all about the $$$.
Average salary of skilled IT employees (US $)
USA = $85,000 - $90,000
India = $17,000 - $24,000
One thing AT leadership failed to realize before they pulled the trigger on their little transformation experiment is turnover at subcontracting firms in India is horrendous. The average tenure for an IT employee in the USA is 15 years, in India it is 18 months. That means in India just as soon as you train an employee in your companies processes and procedures to the point where they are able to stand on their own, they leave and go somewhere else for a measly $400 a year pay raise.
Nothing against Indian employees but facts are facts!
