Thread regarding Waters Corp. layoffs

Udit looking after hometown

Upper management is in a downward spiral
Sr. Cloud/DevOps Engineer (Former Employee) - Milford, MA - November 6, 2023
I worked here for close to 2 decades. The job, training, learning and people back then were why I wanted to be there. Great family-like feeling and the company seemed to actually care about and notice us.

After a few CxO changes over the last few years, their management, hiring (lack of) and comradery internally all took a nose dive.

From an IT perspective, they didn't even try to hide the fact they are moving support to India. They built a new office in our new CEO's home town there and hired hundreds of new employees in redundant positions while at the same time laying off hundreds of people outside of India (redundant positions).

I thought the idea of moving support to India model didn’t work…many companies have moved it back after issues. Guess waters wants to find out the hard way.

So just to be clear, since joining Waters, the CEO has opened labs at two of his Alma maters and built a new office near his hometown. Never mind a very questionable acquisition at a bloated price. The Board needs to wake up and take action

Anyone have an idea when jobs will begin shifting to India? I expect it will cause waves of layoffs soon and continued. IT may be only the tip, ideas on what’s next?
