I’ve heard that PWC is in the process of shifting US and international jobs to Mexico. Contractor layoffs have already begun. Full-timers are next. Is this true?
I heard this will be a multi-year effort to cut costs as MX hourly rates are roughly half of those in the US while time differences between India and China cause project speed issues.
I heard that in the US, PWC is trying to keep this under the radar by telling contractors to take a 2-month “furlough” due to “new government regulations”. They will not be asking most of the contractors to return after the 2 months. Full-timers will go next.
If the above is true, here’s a bit of editorial:
PWC partners, how many more yachts do you need at the expense of American worker jobs? I wonder if you think of us as you slip on that new Rolex or buy that 4th car. Gordon Gekko.
PWC US job seekers and current employees beware - your replacement doesn’t need to cross our Southern border into the US to take your job. The train is heading in the other direction.
