Employee feedback on company
Stop à l'externalisation et à la délocalisation à outrance. Des postes (de comptables en particulier) ont été supprimés dans les pays, on a créé des équipes en Inde (donc on a embauché), et en plus beaucoup de tâches ont été saupoudrées sur les employés

Hi Nancy.
Have seen "the countries" used quite frequently in informal contexts. Some companies have their operations in other countries set up as subsidiaries of the parent group, some call them business units...

Given your context, it probably refers to "high-cost" western countries seeing that they are moving these jobs to India.

A guess.
It seems that some word specifying "les pays" has been omitted. Perhaps you should make a note and ask the client for clarifications.

: In France, people in companies often talk about "les pays" to designate subsidiaries or divisions outside of the country of the parent company (France)
