If Outsourcing more to India Happens...
That doesn't seem like a very inclusive or diverse move. Rather, it looks more like a company exploiting a poor, underdeveloped country full of brown people. Just sayin'.

Remember this in the future, don’t support a company who will lay-off employees at the peak of this pandemic/recession. Worst possible time possible to get let go. Would be easier to justify and understand if they were losing actually losing money... — read more

Computer Outages
Is today just another day of planned outages or work stoppage going on?
