Reply to comment by ghx16 in Tech Layoffs Set the Clock Ticking for Foreign Workers by buncley
Exactly, people like him are salty folks who cannot compete with tech workers and then rant like they are entitled for their jobs just because they are citizens.
PS: I am a Hiring Manager and see these things up close.

Wait, so are you saying these companies are bringing talent from other parts of the world because they seriously can't find competent employees here or is it because they can't find it at the salaries they're willing to pay?
Because while I am pointing out the hypocrisy of the consensus here on reddit when it comes to immigrant workers I would also like to point out I have already seen in the past and I'm not buying that story that the talent is not out there, and that's why companies bring labor from other parts of the world, it is often just used as a loophole to get cheaper labor

Ok, let me explain to you.
For every good policy there are ways it can be exploited. And some companies take advantage of it.
I have hired some folks on H1B and most of them are hard working honest residents who are equal if not better than local hires. Only exception were 2 who were let go. Local hires on the other hand are good to average, just one I would call really really good.
Locals and H1B are paid exactly same, no difference whatsoever. Infact some H1Bs are paid base $300k plus bonuses. Why would I approve it if they were bad or I was trying to cheap out?
This is not the norm and neither is Disney case. I hope you got the gist.

Bullshit. We have all seen entire teams replaced by cheaper foreign labor. You're fooling precisely nobody, here.

Why shouldn't citizens be entitled to privileges in their own country/

Just like you don't have privilege to own home. You need to work or earn that money to afford a home.
Life is tough, we all gotta work hard for it. Just demanding a high paying job when you don't have qualifications or attitude is shithousery of umpteenth degree.
Go on tell me how tech jobs are easy and any tom dick And harry can do it with 30 days of online boot camp, I am all ears.
Looks like you and me are living in different US.

Used to do. Housing was much cheaper, people could afford to move out of from their parents much younger. We weren't competing with hedge funds and migrants for housing.
>Life is tough, we all gotta work hard for it.
Used to be much easier. Why should we work harder to compete with migrants who have no right to be here? If a country doesn't work for its own people there's no reason for it to exist.

You're the problem, then; congratulations. The H1B was never intended to be used as a cost-saving measure.
