In what is becoming an all-too-familiar story, another major Indian tech outsourcing company is under federal investigation for allegedly discriminating against American workers in favor of cheaper Indian labor.
This time, it’s Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT outsourcing firm, and a favored contractor for major US corporations.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has launched a probe into dozens of complaints from former TCS employees—most of them over 40, non-South Asian, and American-born—who say they were systematically pushed out of their jobs while the company retained younger Indian nationals, many on temporary work visas such as the controversial H-1B, Bloomberg reports.
These complaints, reviewed by Bloomberg, allege that TCS laid off qualified American professionals not due to performance or restructuring needs, but to prioritize importing lower-cost workers from India.
Any time you try to make a business call you get a representative either from India or the Phillipines , neither of which can hardly speak any English. It’s frustrating and half the time you leave the call having no idea what they said. I think Americans at least deserve to get an English speaking person to discuss something to d with an American company with whom you do business.
I cuss them and hang up. Then try again later demanding an American representative
Amen, brotha!
