More Jobs To The East !

LONDON (Reuters) - J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM - news) on Monday said it plans to have nearly one-third of its investment banking back office and support staff offshore by the end of 2007 and would achieve this by doubling its headcount in India.

The U.S. banking group said it hopes to hire 4,500 graduates in India over the next two years, mostly in Bangalore. J.P. Morgan already has about the same number of front-office and support staff in its retail, corporate and investment banking operations in Mumbai.

The company said the hirings, which will double its work force in India, would be an add-on to head count rather than a replacement of staff elsewhere. A spokesman declined to detail the size of the investment.

The firm is hiring between 300 and 400 graduates a month and plans to have a total work force of 9,000 in India by the end of 2007.

About 3,000 of the new employees will work for the investment bank, and the rest will support the group's retail and commercial banking operations, including 2,000 call center workers.

By the end of 2007, the Indian cities of Mumbai and Bangalore will process much of J.P. Morgan's foreign exchange business, and the bank is set to transfer the processing of credit derivatives contracts.

J.P. Morgan said it would continue to employ 4,000 to 4,500 operations staff in Bournemouth, England, and New York.

Market regulators have complained that the booming credit derivatives business has outgrown its back-office capabilities to process transactions.

India has attracted foreign companies with its low costs, educated work force and good telecommunications links.

The move by J.P. Morgan is part of a trend by major financial institutions to outsource a range of activities to slash expenses.

HSBC (HSBA.L) has set up call centers for its retail customers, while ABN Amro (AAH.AS) said in September that three Indian companies would be among five firms to benefit from a 1.8 billion euro deal to manage its IT systems.

Consultants estimate that around 5 percent of the global headcount at U.S.- and UK-based investment banks is in India.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?? I recieved it in my email from a friend
​
Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association wrote.​

"Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud​

sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our​

spring recognition event. ​


We received the following reply​

from the local TARGET management: " Veterans do not meet our​

area of giving. We only donate to the arts, social action​

groups, gay & lesbian causes, and education."​

So I'm thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and​

veterans in general, do not meet their donation criteria,​

then something is really wrong at this TARGET store. We were​

not asking for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, just​

a small sponsorship for a memorial remembrance.​

As a follow-up, I E-mailed the TARGET U.S. Corporate​

Headquarters and their response was the same. That's their​

national policy.​

Then I looked into the company further. They will not allow​

the Marines to collect for 'Toys for Tots' at any of their​

stores. And during the recent Iraq deployment, they would​

not allow families of employees who were called up for​

active duty to continue their insurance coverage while​

they were on military service. Then as I dig further,​

TARGET​

is a French-owned corporation.​

Now, I'm thinking again. If TARGET cannot support American​

Veterans, then why should my family and I support their​

stores by spending our hard earned American dollars!​

And, have their profits sent to France.​


Without the American​

Vets, where would France be today?​


"They, most likely would be speaking German and trading in Deutsch Marks"​

Please send this on to everyone you know to let Target know​

First off, pitboss: Unions were needed when they were created, and grew too big for thier britches too quickly, in my humble opinion. People were dying to get jobs and keep jobs. Literally. There was a problem and a solution came about in the way of people unionizing. What happened after that? Things have just gotten out of hand. I used to be work at a ready-mix plant and I can tell you that I have seen enough of union shennanigans to ruin me on the construction side of unions for a lifetime. One company underbid the local laborers union and they sent 5 guys to do nothing but videotape the people working the job they got outbid on. Every day there would be 5 guys out there instigating and looking for OSHA violations. So far, so good. Other than wishing I had a cushy union job that I got paid to watch some other guys do manual labor. I got a good chuckle out it. Honestly I think I was jealous. I wanted to make more money than I was getting for driving the junk trucks we were driving at the time. I was busting my arse for 8 bucks an hour. So things were still good, then the union dudes decided the guy they were taping just didni't care about it, and decided that they had to do something to get the old boy riled up. Ok, long story short, 4 union guys got hauled off to jail, got restraining orders on 'em and some other junk. They assaulted an old guy just get a point across. But you can't put a restraining order on a union, so this kept happening. The union is just out of touch with reality. As I said before, I am not ANTI-UNION, there is a place for them. Union people are just a slice of life, there is good and there is bad.
Mr paul. I did NOT say that unions were communist. I said there is a fine line between the two. The definition of communism is available free at [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism ]in a nutshell, there are people working together as an assimilation. Power in numbers, so to say. The object was to break down wealth barriers, class barriers, and so on. The union pretty much works in the same fashion, unless I am grossly misunderstanding the whole thing. If I am right in assuming, the unions are a fairly active political organiztion, claims to give everyone the same money for the same job, and has plenty of clout against people (or things) it doesn't like, (I believe the words wal and mart are all over the afl cio's website) or meets their views as fair. Hey, I am a hard-core capitalist, I firmly believe in it, when it has a fair chance to work. As I see it, it's kinda like a political Darwinian theory, but that may be overly analytical.
And for whoever said I proposed no solutions? Reread the post. How did I get on unions in the first place? If I am so opposed to unions. Why would I wish them on China?

Choose your battles, and be prepared to argue them. You can put me on either side of the argument about unions, I see the good and the bad. No job is perfect.

I think that the people that got testy about my post aren't too secure about their own positions to begin with. I don't think that we are going to solve Chinas problems on this site, but it was fun trying. Too bad we all can't get along.

Merry f'ing Christmas.
Lighten up go listen to the DGS.....

We owe a big thank you to people like Spider, and Camaroman

Crewchief12 you're right on about the rules and regulations; however we both know if you don't watch businesses like a hawk they will do anything they want while you're not looking. I don’t mean small businesses. I’m talking about the big guys with no conscious. Example, "Love Canal" Look that up in you're spare time. It'll scare the pants off you. I was very disappointed this thread hadn't had more response since this is probably more important than most anything facing us today. Most of the post for the first few days were mostly( 7 or 8) were by BOLO himself with a couple of double post by others. And as for “Getting Dizzy” complaining about whiners, I believe we were discussing a topic and that is how we arrive at answers hopefully. I guess Jefferson, Adams, Hancock, Franklin and all the others were whining back in the 1700’s. If you don’t recognize the names, they weren’t race car drivers. Possibly someone can develop an idea we can all use. That is how this country was built.

Lack of interest could be because it’s not hitting you directly in the pocketbook like gas prices were. If we’re only going to worry about our own little self contained world, then think of your kids and grand kids. Screw’em. Let them work on it.

I know it’s off topic, but the racing community is pretty large and if we do our part it could have the effect of spreading to other groups. It’s true you can’t build your own DVD player or TV set but there are a lot of other things you can do. Well maybe some of you can. At least show some interest.

And as for Mun11, one can only have sympathy for you and your lack of knowledge. I wasn’t going to give you the honor of a reply, but here’s an idea for you. Go give Saddam a big hug and pat on the shoulder and tell him not worry because he did what he had to do and every thing is going to be alright.
Take a nostalgia trip some Sunday; drive in your imported car in your imported clothes and and take a look at the plant or office where you used to work.

Re; Target
When you get some messages like the one you printed it makes you suspicious so check it out on www.snopes.com. They debunk rumors and urban legends. The story is only partly true.

If I was whining, I apologize, but I thought those afformentioned names were more famous for thinking and acting. You seem to be good at acting, try thinking. I was proposing an idea, not whining. Yeah, I see this argument is going nowhere. Have fun with the rest of this. I can't stand this anymore. Go pull some more senseless facts out of the blue. But don't bark at me for trying to help.
 
Look Diz, you caught me on a bad day. I can understand how your experience left a bad taste in your mouth. But I can guarantee you the only union members I know that still act like that don't have allot of friends. Sure we take pride at being union members, and expect allot of things, but hard core unionism is becoming a thing of the past. It has to if we are to remain competitive. IBEW is working hard at changing the "image" of unions. It used to be when non-union personel came on a job, our guys would leave and/or set up an informational picket. Now days, we work side by side with non-union shops all the time. (maybe not at some of the more high profile jobs, but still it's a start.) I apologize for being so defensive.... and if I had an answer to it all I would gladly give it. It's a big world out there, and hard to convice everyone to join together. Anyway Merry F'in Christmas to you too. ;) lol
 
Poorowner, you deserve a replie: After checking out your past posts I have found that you read into them what you want to hear. I have came to the conclusion you can`t read and have someone read them to you, then make up something you like to hear. Oh great one please bestow your vast knowledge upon us lesser people. What an American you must be, not owning anything that is not American made, we all should be as patriotic as you!

JPMorgan Chase to hire 4,500 in India in offshoring move: report Mon Dec 5, 8:55 AM ET



Financial services powerhouse JPMorgan Chase reportedly plans to hire 4,500 graduates in India as part of its plan to shift 30 percent of its back office and support operations offshore over the next two years.

The largest part of the bank's exchange operations will be placed in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) and Bangalore, the Financial Times said on its website.

The bank, which has only had about 200 employees in India over the past two years, is now recruiting between 300 and 400 Indian graduates per month, the paper reported, taking advantage of India's high education levels and relatively low wages.

Overall the bank hopes to have 9,000 employees in India by the end of 2007, the newspaper said, 3,000 in investment banking and 6,000 in commercial banking, the latter including 2,000 in call-center operations.

BOLO do you consider yourself part of the general public? If you do ,you should not go off on yourself so hard!!!Just keep up the good fight,the GENERAL PUBLIC of the USA Thanks you!!!! your heart is in the correct place!!!!!
 
To the racing community, hey we complain to each other, but this will NOT solve the job losses in the US. Are we the people that are sending jobs outside the US? The federal government is letting it happen, we can ***** to each other with no results, it is time to let your state reperesentatives, senators, any high level gov. official you can, to let them know how we feel about this problem, they have the power to keep the jobs from leaving this country. You can find these officials names and how to reach them on the net. Peace&Freedom
