I don’t work for either of those companies. I will not disclose the company and simply doing the math to come up to the 300 jobs lost does not add up due to other changes not captured in this report. Our competitor took away our multi million $ contract and barely absorbed a small percentage of the lost jobs (80 offers from 300 people lost). Not all offers were accepted by the 80 employees that were interviewed (I’d say probably 60 moved over). However, many jobs were not on the report due to job RELOCATIONS to other states from corporate. Ex: help desk and other portions were moved out of state & some employees went along.
Note: I’m fortunately/unfortunately specialized in managing offshore outsourcing (IT & Applications personnel to India). I guess soon they will look to outsource the outsourcer. This is just a matter of time since there is currently a team of Indian co-workers in our building mirroring/supervising various aspects of our daily operation. Hence, with the 130 personnel left in this building (that’s got a 600 personnel capacity), I’m expecting more cuts. Also, these cuts will be made on smaller scale ,less than 50 ea per downsizing incident, to avoid Federally mandated reporting of such news.
I’m guessing that soon I will be looking for a job (I can’t leave now since I’m under a contract). I only hate not being proactive, but that’s life.
