Independence Blue Cross reviews

IBC has laid off many, many full time employees and consultants (US citizens) to bring workers from India on H1B Visas whom they can pay a lot less money. IBC also transfers employees into the country who have worked for them in India under an L-1 visa. In less than 6 months,one department (alone) removed 50 workers and replaced them all with H1B Visa holders. None of these were high level positions. IBC boasts about being community oriented but the fact is IBC does not support Philadelphia area workers or any American workers -- at all. Most of these H-1B visa holders work in Information Technology (IT) and most of them come from India. There are about 500,000 IT workers in the USA holding H-1B visas. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are about 2.5 million IT workers in America. So approximately 20 percent of the domestic IT workforce isn’t domestic at all, but imported on H-1B visas. IBC systematically adds to the high rate of unemployment in the Philadelphia are and the even higher rate of under employment.

Change in leadership, forced RTO, heavy workloads
