Loyal IT employees betrayed - Information Technology Specialist Southern California Edison Employee Review

Corporate greed has destroyed the IT working environment by outsourcing hundreds of positions to India, in a blatant misuse of H-1B visas. Many valuable, experienced, and loyal employees that have worked decades with SCE, helping establish the company to where it is today, were betrayed. Some employees were retained if they were in good terms with the "inner circle" of management that selected individuals to be retained. Many who were retained do not have the experience for their new position or even a college degree. And many of those that were not retained were highly experienced and college educated, but were not part of the "inner circle". The Grid Management System area is currently excluded from outsourcing. Again, some individuals who were in good terms with the "inner circle" were saved in this area. Job postings were listed with the appearance of being open competitive opportunities. But in actuality, the jobs were already intended for those individuals who were selected by the "inner circle".
