Confirmed from someone in finance and HR. AI, moving many jobs to India, and new leadership found many teams doing similar work.

Per my contract I’m fully invested being with Cisco 5 years, so I’m not worried if I get laid off since I will get pension the rest of my life. The question I have, when I go back home will they deposit my monthly payment in my India bank?

Seems to me like they posted a bunch of engineer 3 and higher roles all for hyderabad/bangalore. Didn't we just lay off a bunch of those roles in August from Seattle? What a coincidence!

so many positive news lately

Bank has kept this hushed but India’s media has let this cat out of the bag on Friday. I’m sure this post will get deleted soon but I’ll be back to make another one.

Per the news media, USB plans to open 2 Global Capability Centers (GCC) in India. The Hyderabad location will be built and owned by the bank itself while the Chennai location goes through vendors (Cognizant, TCS etc.) Overall hiring is expected at 3-5000 employees.

Say hello to Bank of India!

I have been told that i need to have minimum 15+ years experience to move to G7 in India .Is this normal ?

This leadership group's most detrimental practice is the systematic sidelining of high performers. Governed by an implicit anti-meritocratic stance, their chief aim is self-preservation. They intentionally install a layer of middling and compliant managers beneath them. This creates a buffer that prevents truly talented individuals from advancing to levels where they might question authority, reveal strategic shortcomings, or disrupt the status quo. Having reached the later stages of their careers, their focus has narrowed to preserving their lucrative positions and titles with minimal exertion, effectively treating their roles as comfortable sinecures.

The next round is coming, not as massive, 1k and above, focus on Ireland and India and the back to the states.

LTIMindtree, one of India’s leading IT and digital services firms, will stop filing new H-1B visa applications going forward, according to a report by Moneycontrol.

The company’s CEO, Venugopal Lambu (Venu), said the organisation will now focus on hiring more local talent in overseas markets.

Lambu’s announcement comes at a time when the United States is witnessing intense debate over the H-1B “specialty occupation” visa category.

The Trump administration also introduced a blanket fee of 100,000 dollars for new H-1B filings through a proclamation issued in September.

For years, MAGA-aligned politicians and their supporters have argued that major tech companies rely too heavily on foreign workers instead of hiring Americans. Many critics have even labelled the current visa system a “fraud” or “scam.”

Lambu clarified that LTIMindtree’s new policy applies only to fresh petitions under the upcoming H-1B lottery cycle.

Renewals for existing employees will continue unchanged, mirroring the way Trump’s new 100,000 dollar fee applies only to new applications. This strongly indicates that the steep fee played a major role in the company’s decision.

He added that LTIMindtree may reconsider its stance if U.S. regulations change in the future.

How Many H-1B Employees Does LTIMindtree Have?

Lambu told Moneycontrol that the company currently employs around 4,000 H-1B workers in the U.S., out of a global workforce of more than 86,000.

He noted that LTIMindtree has already reduced its dependency on the visa category and built systems to support onsite hiring.

Looking ahead, Lambu stressed the importance of hiring locally to control costs and improve profitability.

He pointed out that the company generated 64 million dollars in additional revenue in the first half of FY26, even as its net headcount decreased.

Outlining LTIMindtree’s long-term vision, Lambu said the company aims to grow revenue without proportionally increasing staff numbers.

“If we are growing 2X over the next five years, the headcount should grow only about 1.2X to 1.3X,” he told Moneycontrol.

I'm genuinely wondering, our work is continuously outsourced to many countries with the bulk being to Argentina AND India, but India seems to bear most of the brunt and hate comments. Is it legit because Argentina does a better job than India? Or people just don't like Indians for variety other reasons?

Chevron India is offering their people 2x days a week in the office. I just heard that they plan to keep these, even as US Payroll are being forced to work 4x days a week in office.

So much for "better together"

... personally, if the I'm going to write to Management to try and get India 4x days in office too (including Monday). Fair is fair

Think about that for a moment. This is a bank that grew up in the midwest USA. And, now, a lot of the back office work is being moved to India. Your private information, your accounts. Why is this allowed?

Tax management is ruthless. The income tax group used to be where a new hire can enter into the company and advance. Then they migrated work to BA. Then they brought over people from BA for jobs limiting opportunities for US employees. Those brought in from BA then become managers and protected their own in rankings. All the new hires brought in have quit or been PIPd.

Think about that. This BA Management klan ran off all their new hires. They are either terrible at identifying talent, terrible at developing people, or clearly bias in their assessment as the only people that remain are their friends.

It’s happening all over. Look at the announcements and the amount of jobs coming to the US. They aren’t developing US employees, they are developing GBC as a priority and will follow the same pattern of protecting their own. The manager that brought over the person from GBC won’t admit their mistake so they are protected and become managers eventually. They need to show GBC that opportunities really exist to get out of India or Argentina or Brazil.

If you are US employee you are at a huge disadvantage. This company doesn’t want you and doesn’t care about you. When you’re working late covering your incompetent management, remember that. Log off and go enjoy your life. Don’t worry about getting a low ranking for choosing not to work late, you were going to get a low ranking anyways. And if you weren’t, the salary increment isn’t worth it and the future career opportunities aren’t there.

Ohhhhhh .You’ve done it again.

former Rep. Dave Brat alleges large-scale H-1B visa fraud linked to India.
Claims Chennai consulate issued 220,000 visas, far above the 85,000 cap.
Former U.S. diplomat reported forged documents, political pressure at same consulate...........................................................

What do current and former IBMers have to be grateful for ?
More layoffs (to come) and more jobs going to India on some flimsy pretext or the other.
And of course, Arvind getting more medals pinned on his chest from Modi for services to the Indian Republic. That is gratitude.

"AI" mentioned 16 times in this 'article', it's like a "School Assignment" IBM puff piece

It seems odd that the other PayPal execs are around already, but Shankar is still not replaced. I mean, he's not doing any work, not showing up for anything, not talking to his teams, not setting a strategy or a direction or anything. So clearly HE knows he's out (fingers crossed that the rest of his posse are out as well.. first of all Vivek and his reports) But still, it would be nice to know which PayPal guy will oversee the next shift of 10+k jobs to India / contractors...

Been with the firm in CCB for about 3 years now, This place is full of Indian VP Managers who don't know anything, they are basically project managers updating status in Excel sheets and working as Engineering leads or Managers. They are mostly all full time switch overs from Indian Consulting firms.

i did not get change to attend many meetings.

Indian employees will be informed about rifs on 12/04 and will get one month of severance per year worked.

My experience at the Fidelity India UFest was a complete letdown. The event was chaotic and demeaning, making attendees feel like a herd of animals. The leadership session only made things worse, revealing a clear disconnect and a lack of operational knowledge. It's a shame, as I joined through the LEAP program with high expectations, but this has completely changed my view of the company's culture.

Heard india team will have huge layoffs in December first week. Seems dan wants to cut down on outsourcing

Sounds like I'll get a long vacation at some point next year.

Show me one thing good that has come from sending jobs to India besides the cost of labor.....it isn't innovation. You all lying to yourselves. Goodluck with that.

Is Verizon India impacted because the news mentions US layoffs?

Entire group was fired yesterday and another one in london is planned in the next few months. The train replacements in india and then fire the OG team.

This has been going on for months now. Off shore India teams working during US workforce hours. The writings on the wall. Fiserv not supporting the US employees with this strategy. Good luck.

I just received a list of new hires in my division at State Street and it appears that only 12.5% had Anglican names. Based upon the names, most of the new hires are Indians and Asians.

I am curious to see what will happen with the tighter H-1B policies.

Over a couple years ago, Verizon leadership sent 3500 Verizon employees to HCL. HCL has let go 99% of them. Customers are leaving because they don’t want to deal with India, or the incompetence of HCL. I hope Gina, Kyle and the rest of the complacent leadership gets booted. I know they will cut more of the business unit. To best of luck to those have been through a lot since MCI.

My best wishes are with you all, who are effected by this round of layoffs

What did they offer as severance? And did you get a chance ask why you?

Has Met with Indian PM Last year and promise more jobs
Now Verizon has 8000 US jobs to Indian on top of that All The IT Jobs moved there then HCTEL 10,000 Plus given to India
Verizon Leadership Sold the employees for Kickback
Top Kickback taker : Sampath Sowmyanarayan , Shankar Arumugavelu
HAns and all the SVP

They are hungree for extra zero
If wall street investigate them and their kids and family member will find the kick back india they saved there

Even New CEO he is here for money he is getting $1.5 Million plus 250% Bonus and 17 Million stock ...for him win win employesss loser loser

India folks, what's the latest news? I'm hearing 1500 job cuts across portfolios.

Know someone in upper management. They say the Sofi will be moving 60% of jobs to India over the next year. Plans are already under way.

Some leads in US canceled their town halls for this week - assuming because of GCC announcements

So far only high up American leaders have been impacted. Anyone from or in India felt Dan wrath? If not, do we have a discrimination issue?

Thanks Bill Pulte for making it so easy to get rid of the few remaining whites DEI couldn't help. The kickbacks occur in India, Freddie cannot see them.
