Thread regarding Cigna layoffs

@122 And that is why your jobs are going to India. Don't trust them.

It’s insane everyone in medical benefits and pharmacy benefits at Cigna is offshore now. The only way it will change is Gov policy taxing so much for offshore it makes more sense to hire in USA. The quality is poor but Cigna saves money so they don’t care.

I was in the town hall the other day. Every leader was Indian and almost the entire audience in CT Like just move the company to India

does the HIRE act includes the
no tax breaks for outsourcing act? or are they 2 different bills

here’s what it is: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/995

@cr this strategy continues to fail and yes, they keep going back to it. It’s a short term win for a bunch of inept leaders that keep making bad decisions and covering the loses with our jobs. They can prop up the stock and make the shareholder s happy. It’s the oldest play in the leader playbook. Have you ever noticed, very few at the top pay the price for their bad decisions?

This strategy has been tried before and failed because Indians, Filipinos, etc didn’t understand enough, had cultural differences that reduced quality of work or they couldn’t communicate well enough and eventually it led to issues big enough to cause losses. Now the assumption is AI can close the knowledge gap and can be used to make accents sound American. But you get what you pay for. IT is already seeing all sorts of problems due to HIH not knowing what they are doing and working off of SOPs and trusting everything AI tells them or inserting inefficient or wrong AI code into code bases. Help Desk sounds better thanks to AI but they take longer to fix problems.

Eventually companies will realize that unlike manufacturing, AI can’t do these jobs entirely and Indians are good at jobs for India but not for America. Until then call your elected representatives about HIRE act, encourage Trump to levy more tariffs against India and antagonize Modi into escalating, and encourage Pakistan to go back to bo----g Kashmir.

CIGNA = Creating Indian Growth, Not American.

@ab the HIRE act sounds good, but not sure it will be enough. It will still be cheaper in general to stay offshore and pay the fee/tax. I would worry about the safety of US jobs at that point. Would they cut back on the American workforce to put more $ towards the tax and spend on more offshore workers under the guise of 'restructuring'? Quite possibly. They already cut back on workers now to put towards AI.

@OP ask your state reps and senators to support the HIRE Act. AI is the excuse they are using to lay us off and send jobs to India. Companies are investing over there. I hear all the time, we can’t find young kids with Tech degrees. All lies. Don’t believe the BS. And avoid supporting companies that are flushing our jobs down the drain.

May feel? I for one would feel fantastic! Karma!
