An Indian origin software engineer living in the United States took to social media to share how he found out his job was being sent to Indian workers in India, leaving the internet buzzing with shock.

X user by the handle @AlphaoFox78 shared the video, which went viral soon after surfacing.

The video commences with the engineer introducing himself and recounting the unfortunate situation of his entire team being laid off. During his exit interview, he received a startling revelation. The company disclosed its preference for hiring workers from India, citing lower labour costs. The engineer, taken aback, pointed out that he himself was born in India, and his family had relocated to the US for employment opportunities. He even expressed his willingness to move to India if it was desired by his employer.

“They said, ‘No, no, no, you don’t get it. We are getting rid of you. We are moving the job to India, where it will be done cheaper,’” the man narrated.

He further added, “And in that moment, I turned into every one of your fathers. I was like damn Indians are taking our jobs.”

Or, was it time to bring in a fresh batch of people they could pay less?.”
