GOOGLE LAYOFFS GET BIGGER - outsourcing core skills to mexico...

Company: Remote work doesn’t work for us. Company: We’re sending this work to people in other countries.

Indian CEO running an American company shipping jobs to India while laying off American workers. Anyone seeing anything wrong with that picture? Does anyone care?

As if half of the US tech industry wasn't already in India. It leaves you with all those warm feelings watching middle class jobs evaporate and get sent overseas.

we live in a fucking circus.

Layoff the CEO instead

American workers can't compete, because the cost of living is too high in the US. People have to pay more for rent/mortgage, utilities, automobiles, car insurance, homeowners insurance, energy, etc. In Mexico, India, and other countries, the cost of living is much lower. This is why workers in those countries make less, and they can make a living.

Some morning, we will wake up to the news that Google has laid off its search machine core team and moved it to India, Mexico, or somewhere else. They are just preparing the "passionate" googlers for that moment.

What should I be when I grow up dad? Nothing. Nobody is hiring.

To make it absolutely clear. This is not about passion for the job. This is about passion for the job in the "tech industry". It's about the young snobbish tech billionaires who have no responsibility to their customers or their employees. Just as they shift any liability for their products onto the customer, they shift any responsibility for their mistakes in decisions onto their employees. I have never seen a tech company take as much responsibility for their products and their employees as any other company.

The employees did well, had a blow out quarter, and they got chopped smh.

The question is where does the U.S. think it’ll end up with a great section of its population that can’t afford to buy all this crap they advertise, let alone necessities? This is self destructive behavior by this country.

They’ll get what they pay for.

Prep for the clawback 2020s will be a violent decade

As America trudges through its economic slump, expect outsourcing to ramp up, especially as we cozy up to India more and more. With India developing—though let's be clear, it's nowhere near China's league yet—corporations are jumping at the chance to slash their operational costs back home while simultaneously digging into a growing market overseas. This shift is reshaping the American economic scene in ways we might not even fully grasp yet. We're looking at a significant overhaul in how and where businesses operate, and frankly, it's changing the American economic landscape permanently. The future? Uncertain and likely a far cry from the heydays we reminisced about. Yeah, it was good while it lasted.

All you have to do is make companies that want to outsource to other countries but operate in the U.S pay at 75% tax

Company I work for laid off entire teams and contracted it out to Indian consulting companies. They also laid off the entire QA and UI team. Needless to say, Boeing pull that stunt and the max didn't fare so well. Well, brushing off the old resume and moving on.

not all outsourced employees are quality though lol. i know cause i have to work with some of them. still big companies will do it regardless cause like tech debt you dont have to pay it till later.

The message is clear. Be a owner and nothing else..

"There are a lot of rocks that write code" I can't agree more with this.... as a software engineer myself, I can say that there are sooooooo many people who just dont have any business being one, are working as one....

For the past 15 years my dream was to become a SWE so I can make money while traveling. Well that’ll never happen
