The North -American Labor Market is undergoing a quiet but consistent transformation. As the work costs increase and the regulations are narrowing, companies are increasingly for domestic hiring in favor of the cheapest and foreign alternatives. This change, once limited to peripheral functions, is now cutting out more deeply in basic operations, causing anxiety among North -American workers. A Reddit user Reddit account to survive the layoffs in an important engineering company has had an online nerve, offering a standard view on what is very scared of the future of white neck work in America.

Highlighting the broadest trend, the user wrote: “The North -American Market is no longer a priority to hire, unless highly specialized roles.”

In explaining their own experience, they added: “I recently survived layoffs in a large engineering company. In the last round, most layoffs led the U.S. and Western Europe employees, while Eastern Europe teams and India were not affected.

According to the user, the company’s strategy is clear: to prioritize the reduction of costs for national employment. *”Most new talents will be recruited abroad due to the advantages of costs. This change is deeply discouraged. It feels like these companies are becoming versions of American companies, with the management that remains local while the majority of operating roles is being undone.”

Frustrated and uncertain, they questioned what could come: “What is below? To form my replacement abroad and leave me to the next round because I do too much? Is it a reminiscence of what happened to the computer industry in the 1990’s?”

The publication resonated widely, achieving answers from others that face similar circumstances. A user shared: “The last company I worked on (the large financial services company of fortune 200) did so literally outsourced as 80-90% of computer science, application support and development in India … In three years we had to start bringing such bad jobs.”

They also emphasized the hidden costs of the outsourcing: “Do not save money when the applications are dropped/broken, when the projects end up twice with cost with cost expenses. Many of these Indian companies also constantly convey people … causing constant problems and delays.”

Another commentator blamed the lack of regulation in the United States. “Other countries have labor legal percentages that must be in the country. This is not the case in the United States. Companies will use any excuse to say goodbye … The reality is that the benefits will continue to increase and employees will eat shit,” said the user.

Some compared the current wave to the 1990’s outsourcing boom, highlighting key differences. “AI makes everyone better … Base talent is higher worldwide … Outraint is not as cheap as before. But leaders keep the same mistakes only to quench Wall Street.”

Others expressed their concern about the scale and speed of the lag tendency: “I am seeing much more and more through all industries. Companies only outsourced India and the Philippines and hire 3-4 employees with a cost of an American employee.”

A particularly strong comment underlined the resentment building among the workers. “Its Indian directors openly tell USC that all recruitment will move to India. America has lost the war for independence and is now officially the colony of India,” he reads.
