Presumably this is RBC? Do you think it has to do with meeting some sort of quarterly budget targets?

The bossman really doesn't like it when I specify, but googling largest bank in Canada will confirm / deny your guess. As I understand it the new CIO got the job based on this plan to keep IT budget down. For this one friend who will be losing his contract early next yr, we can have 8-12 offshore programmers from his contract alone.

Sad, but seems to be the trend.

What line of thought lead you to believe saying "Canada's largest bank" is not the same as saying RBC?
None at all. I would prefer not be vague and indirect, but if he asks (and he does now and then since I gave a print interview regarding the G20 activities around our building) I can honestly say I did not name the company.
