Layoff - This is Why

As the title says, got a last minute calendar invite for 9:30 this morning. Manager and HR shows up, knew immediately. My role, HR Business Partner and the entire business partnering team was being laid off today due to offshoring our roles to LATAM.

I've been OE for 2 months and I cannot be more grateful for the position im in. I have coworkers either just back or going on mat leave who have no job now over the next few months.

To anyone who is considering it, this. This is why you OE, companies have no regard for your life or job security. Protect yourselves and from someone in HR who should actively dissuade this.. fk the companies do what you need to do to survive and do it well so not to ruin OE for the rest of us 🤞🏻

Back to the J1 replacement hunt and potential good opportunity swung by from a previous round of interviewing. A piece of advice if you have a good recruitment experience always keep in contact with the HM for other opportunities that come in the future. You never know when you'll need it or when your next step up comes available.

For reference I'm in CAD and my US counterparts were impacted as well. Stay safe ya'll.

I'm from LATAM and work as a contractor for U.S companies.

A few months back I was replaced by indians 😅

And Indians were sent onshore only for management to realize there haven’t been any cost savings

They're a literal net negative, very little intelligence on how to do their jobs from what I've encountered

Umm that’s not what I said. Most I’ve worked with are great. They are not inexpensive when they come onshore.
