IBM has more employees in India that the US. Given the how much USG contracts they have, that's shameful.

Yeah, a common refrain internally was the I stood for India.

I know the Kyndryl spin out recently made a decision that US based roles will be limited going forward due to cost goals and have been "workforce rebalancing" teams instead of allowing them to go to the bench to find new roles. The same is not true for offshore resources.

A legislation requiring US workforce for government contracts would be quite sensible.

Wondering if unions could lobby for something like this.

There are a lot of US Restricted roles due to government contracts - I can't remember if it's a legal requirement or a contract restriction. However I do know it's not universal as less sensitive work absolutely did use off shore resources.
