Lowe's To Lay Off About 125 Workers, Move Jobs To India (go.com)

Posted by msmash on from the cutting-costs dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Home improvement retailer Lowe's says it's laying off approximately 125 information technology workers, the third round of job cuts this year. Chief Information Officer Paul Ramsay said in a memo that the affected workers were notified Wednesday. He said the Mooresville, North Carolina-based company has spent the last several years planning a strategic IT workforce team to respond better in what he called "this highly competitive 24/7 retail environment." Some of the jobs will be relocated to Bangalore, India.

      Trump hasn't "made his move" yet, obviously. I'm sure he'll be all over this. He cares about American jobs after all.

      Fortunately, it'll be a short lifetime - a win-win.

      Other than just saying it was worse. How is was america worse during the Obama Administration?

      A long-lasting and historic low in conservative good feels.

    When I can't find any help in Lowe's, I usually figure they're out back smoking. So now it turns out they're in India?
