In an internal post TCS management announced a massive 12,000 person layoff will happen at TCS in 2025. What was further revealed was that most of the layoffs will occur in the USA against US workers. They will be backfilled with H1-Bs from India soon after. This is a classic pivot American workers for cheap H1-B slave labor from India.
TCS is a dishonest corporation and should loose all its American visa privileges.
