Headcount goes down. Roger gets the axe and is not replaced. That nice Indian company Wipro, the one that Ram works for, gets the contract for providing the IT services. Offshoring and outsourcing IT functions have always been about cost reductions and not efficiencies or improved service.

You are either stupid or disingenuous. Wipro brings in Indians to the USA to work. They may technically not be employees of Abbot labs but hey will sit in their facility and work in the same places as they Americans they replaced. It is stupidly like yours that allows this insidious program to stay alive.

Go Trump,go!

You show your complete ignorance on how the scheme works. Wipro may bring some H-1Bs over for the turnover and the training, but I guarantee you that within a year 95% of the people and just about all of the work will be in an office block in Chennai or Mumbai. It's the only way the deal works. Wipro tells Abbot Labs that it can do the work for X amount per year. Abbot Labs signs the contract. Wipro isn't going to make any money, certainly not as much money, if it is paying H-1Bs U.S. salaries, even below average U.S. salaries. It'll do the knowledge transfer, send them back to India, and continue the work using $10,000 a year entry level graduates of the Indian equivalent of ITT Tech. And you know what? Nothing that Trump has proposed will even make a dent in the business.

I'll bet my bottom dollar that Disney turns out the same way.
