I Was a Director at Amex When They Started Replacing Us With $30K Workers

Great, honest video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5fXrPMGM5E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5fXrPMGM5E) American Express just opened a 1,000,000 sq ft office in Gurugram, India, the largest in its corporate history. I was an engineering director inside the organization behind their so-called "AI-powered innovation." My teams built the lending and buy-now-pay-later web apps you use every day. Here's what I saw: a systematic effort to replace American tech workers with offshore and H-1B employees, a resource allocation scheme designed to set domestic workers up for failure, and an executive leadership chain that made its preferences explicit to my face. I was blocked from a VP's LinkedIn page after calling out the reality behind a press release. So instead of a comment, you get this video. This is not just American Express. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Big Tech are all running the same playbook. If you work in tech, this affects you. **I did not create the video.** **I just shared it here because the message is important.**
