Verizon Outsourcing [telecom]

The news about Verizon offering voluntary severance to about 44,000 employees, and outsourcing 2,500 (some reports say could be 5,000) IT jobs to Infosys in India for $700 million is a part of corporate greed. Further, there are employees who are being "rebadged" to Infosys for one year to train their Indian employees, "and then get fired."



I have a suggestion for the CEO of Verizon: Why don't you fire yourself and outsource your job to Infosys? Take the same severance package you are offering your employees, 3 weeks of salary for every year of service. Since you were hired on Aug. 1, 2018, you will get only 3-4 months' worth of time served. You will like it; what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
