What do you call a company that lays off its American IT workers, outsources the work to Accenture, then hires the Accenture executive who sold them the outsourcing as their new tech chief?
FedEx. Let me introduce you to Vishal Talwar.
Last August, FedEx made him Executive Vice President, Chief Digital and Information Officer, and President of FedEx Dataworks.
Before FedEx? Chief Growth Officer for Accenture Technology.
Translation: he sold outsourcing and tech transformation services to Fortune Global 2000 companies. Companies like FedEx.
In the same window, FedEx was firing Americans:
· 2023: 800 at FedEx Services
· 2024: IT and Finance cuts at a 4B reduction
· 2025: 1,500 layoffs in Tennessee alone
Who picked up the work? Accenture.
Meanwhile, FedEx filed 5,800 H-1B LCA applications from FY2015 to FY2025.
The timeline:
1. FedEx fires American IT workers
2. Accenture takes the work (with offshore labor)
3. FedEx hires Accenture's Chief Growth Officer and makes him CDIO
Hire the salesman of the company that took your American jobs. You don't hate these companies enough.
