Well is like my job, I knew when they gave us raises they'd just take it back by hiring less people and stil bitching about work being slow.
It's the nature of management. Only when Americans start waking up and doing French Revolution type stuff will corporate get the idea to lay off. But it is what is...

The chip-making giant said the mass firings are part of a "restructuring initiative” that will further its shift away from the PC business toward smart devices and cloud-based computing. But the firings stand out in light of Intel’s lobbying to expand the H-1B visa program. In 2013, the company’s government affairs managers complained that Intel simply can’t find enough homegrown workers in technical fields to meet its needs. And in 2014, the company called for allowing the spouses and children of H-1B recipients to automatically qualify for work in the U.S. as well. I had to stop reading, someone should tell these people that there's a difference between getting fired and getting laid off. |

Odd that Intel can't find any US workers that are qualified....
I knew a woman about 10 years ago who worked in a division of Intel that did nothing but research small tech start up companies. They'd buy up the companies that looked promising, layoff the people working there and then take the technology back in house. Intel has had tons of opportunity to hang onto skilled workers, they just chose not too. |

Trump has flip-flopped on this issue (big suprise) and now supports an increase in H1B visas:
http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-h1b-visas-gop-debate-immigration-2016-3 Trump has engaged in large-scale H1B visa abuse at his resorts, hiring hundreds of foreign workers under the H1B visa program while turning American applicants for those jobs away: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/26/us/politics/donald-trump-taps-foreign-work-force-for-his-florida-club.html Since 2010, nearly 300 United States residents have applied or been referred for jobs as waiters, waitresses, cooks and housekeepers there. But according to federal records, only 17 have been hired.
In all but a handful of cases, Mar-a-Lago sought to fill the jobs with hundreds of foreign guest workers from Romania and other countries. |

Those of you thinking it can't happen to my job/my company are just like the Jews thinking that as long as they kept making stuff for the Nazis they were safe, nope they got put on the train anyway - but after everyone else. Its putting your head in the sand. A functioning democracy cannot exist where you have 95% of the population on the dole or in poverty with a very small or non-existent chance of improving their lot while a ruling class of politicians, corporate executives and celebrities see themselves as citizens of the world and not the US. Since companies have abused the visa program for years I do not think they can be trusted with and it needs to be abolished completely. There need to be tariffs in place that MATCH the tariffs that specific country put on those exact types of goods from the US - I dont think ANYONE can argue this is not fair. Finally, if a company wants to pull out of the US it needs to cost them and cost them big - at least a 50% exit tax for corporate earnings with NO loopholes. If they get caught cooking the books it should have a 100% penalty on TOP of the 50% exit tax. They need to obey laws the same as you and me, think what would happen to anyone on here if we got caught violating laws like ITAR, massive fines and/or FPMITA prison, why should companies be able to buy their way out for pennies on the dollar? |

Most Americans have been getting screwed by globalization and will continue to be at an accelerating rate as it touches more and more job types and areas of the country. Companies like Intel are not going to care if they layoff all their employees in the US and move to India if it will help their bottom line. Those of you thinking it can't happen to my job/my company are just like the Jews thinking that as long as they kept making stuff for the Nazis they were safe, nope they got put on the train anyway - but after everyone else. Its putting your head in the sand. A functioning democracy cannot exist where you have 95% of the population on the dole or in poverty with a very small or non-existent chance of improving their lot while a ruling class of politicians, corporate executives and celebrities see themselves as citizens of the world and not the US. Since companies have abused the visa program for years I do not think they can be trusted with and it needs to be abolished completely. There need to be tariffs in place that MATCH the tariffs that specific country put on those exact types of goods from the US - I dont think ANYONE can argue this is not fair. Finally, if a company wants to pull out of the US it needs to cost them and cost them big - at least a 50% exit tax for corporate earnings with NO loopholes. If they get caught cooking the books it should have a 100% penalty on TOP of the 50% exit tax. They need to obey laws the same as you and me, think what would happen to anyone on here if we got caught violating laws like ITAR, massive fines and/or FPMITA prison, why should companies be able to buy their way out for pennies on the dollar? You have no idea what you are talking about. It would do you some good to look up statistics on the productivity of American workers vs. any 3rd world shit hole. Hour for hour, dollar for dollar, American workers are VASTLY more productive than Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Haitian, Malaysian, and any other 3rd world nation's workers. Combine that with our infrastructure and stability and you have an environment for productivity that no other nation on earth has. It isn't until you have a combined effort by our government, through onerous taxation, and foreign governments, through tariffs, that the productivity of American workers lose the ability to compete in the labor market and corporations begin looking for alternatives. Even with those conditions, the U.S. has the 2nd highest industrial output in the world. Lowering the domestic corporate tax burden (which is #1 in the world) would make the U.S. a magnet for corporations and would actually treat the disease. Throwing up tariffs will only treat the symptoms. |

If it wasn't defacto illegal to say "boo" to the leaches due to the threat of overwhelming force from the federal government, there'd be a lot fewer Democrat voters by next week. This. The FSA is a legitimate threat only because of the protections affored them by government. |

Why do you hate capitalism.. And freedom. Their business their rules...that is the union hating ARF com way. I do not know if the posters that espouse archo-capitalism on here are driven by blind ideological purity, naivety, self-hatred or are paid shills but unless you are in the 1% (or heck maybe the .5%) what is happening is NOT going to benefit you at all. Most Americans have been getting screwed by globalization and will continue to be at an accelerating rate as it touches more and more job types and areas of the country.
