#h1b

Only Americans will be laid off. H1B and other visa types are a legal obligation, and are expensive to hire, rehire and layoff. So, it is better to be as a H1B employee. You will not be touched and if you have a same caste manager, you have super powers.

USCIS reported over 7 million active H1B visas since 2015!
This is a shame!!!
GM should stop hiring H1B, OPT, H4 and CPT visas.
The amount of incompetence I’m exposed to on a daily basis at work in quite frightening.
We have more qualified and hardworking locals who can get these jobs.

The biggest h1b abuse in the country happens within premises of CITI in Tampa.

I've seen lots of engineers who are on visa.
No basic coding skills or any work ethics.
Been in industry for over 25 years.
Seen enough of visa scams . Ford should stop hiring Visas!!

Citi Tampa is more like hire Indian h1b fire American
Exactly opposite of what the government intends to. How great that is for America
H1b first ….

Corporate managers are actively exploiting the immigration system, practicing race and caste discrimination, and displacing qualified U.S. citizens.

Your immediate action is required to stop them.If you witness visa fraud, discriminatory favoritism based on race or caste, or hidden Labor Condition Application (LCA) postings, you have a civic and legal duty to blow the whistle.

Federal agencies rely directly on worker reports to shut down these illegal operations, penalize corrupt management, and enforce fair hiring practices.

Do not remain silent while corporate entities bypass federal law at the expense of American workers.Take action immediately by preserving evidence and filing formal complaints through these critical federal channels:

Document LCA Violations: Take clear photographs of mandatory Labor Condition Application (LCA) postings as physical evidence. Federal law requires these to be conspicuously displayed on corporate notice boards, breakroom bulletin boards, or directly inside manager and contractor rooms.

USCIS Fraud Detection: Submit explicit details of visa manipulation directly via the USCIS Tip Form at uscis.govDepartment of Labor:

File a formal workforce exploitation complaint with the DOL Wage and Hour Division at dol.gov

Civil Rights Violations: Report the displacement of citizen employees, racial bias, or caste discrimination to the DHS Civil Rights Complaint Portal at dhs.gov

EEOC Enforcement: Trigger a formal federal investigation into national origin, race, or caste-based discrimination via the EEOC Public Portal at eeoc.gov

By politicians to address layoffs and limiting h1b visas or suspending those for at least a year or more.

I'm tired of hearing the same lazy narrative that Indian H1B IT professionals are "stealing jobs."

Let's settle a few things.

Indian IT professionals didn't invent the global labor market. Companies did.

If an employer in the U.S. hires someone from India, it's because they believe that person delivers better value , not because someone stole a seat at the table.

Many Indian engineers work 12–16 hour days, often across multiple time zones, while being paid significantly less than their counterparts in the West. That isn't exploitation by Indian workers; it's a business decision made by the companies doing the hiring. Or Companies wisely hiring 6 people in India instead of 1 person in west for same budget.

So here's my question: Why do some people assume they're entitled to earn five or six times more simply because they were born in a different country? In a capitalist market, compensation follows perceived value, skills, demand, and business economics—not nationality.

Another claim I constantly see is that Indians are somehow less capable. Yet if you look across the global technology industry, you'll find Indian-origin leaders running some of the world's most influential companies. That didn't happen because of charity. It happened because they proved themselves.

No one is forcing companies to hire Indian engineers. No one is forcing founders or executives to build engineering teams in Hyderabad or Bengaluru. Those decisions are made because businesses believe they're getting exceptional talent and results.

If you believe someone is taking your job, perhaps the better question isn't "Why did they hire them?" but "Why did they choose them over me?"

That's how competition works.

You don't have to like globalization. You don't have to like outsourcing. But blaming individual engineers who accepted opportunities offered to them misses the point entirely.

If you disagree, explain why. I'm interested in arguments based on facts and economics—not stereotypes.

Just curious, does Ally do heavy outsourcing or participate in a lot of H1B hiring? Especially in the tech department/group?

In Citi Tampa only h1bs get promoted to SVPs or Directors. Even HR doesn’t care…

JD Vance Details Probe Into Alleged H-1B Visa Fraud :

'American Jobs Ought To Go To American Workers':

USDOL issued 100's of subpoenas to H1B employers ( mostly Indian owned garage based pure Fraud companies )..

Please be aware of this visa abuse. It is favoring H1B employees over citizens. It is silently laying off US citizens.

COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS, LLC ranks #62 of 9,347 employers tracked on layoff notices in 2026. New titles have been slapped on old, “cut” positions in order to recruit throughout tech hubs overseas. Comcast has 6,740 LCA filings (H1-Bs/offshoring) from FY2015 through FY2026. This isn’t even all of them as more have been done. The median reported wage across these filings is $111,163. Its largest state footprint is Pennsylvania with 3,909 filings. The most common job title on its filings is Software Developers but many tech positions have been hit hard.

Apparently no unemployed, laid off or talented Americans could fill these jobs nor would they appreciate a salary of $111,000 (sarcasm).

Ford just interested in cutting high wage employees, shipping work outside of country and hiring H1B's...

Why purchase a non American product?

USCIS reported over 7 million active H1B visas since 2015.

You think you have it bad now?
Just wait until you are expected to be on call and available 24/7 under Musk.
Oh, yeah- he loves H1-bs, too.

Per changes to renewal of H1B visas, the administration has changed the policy.
H1B work visas will not have 1.5 years automatic extension, rather the visa holders need to go back to their country.

Use this situation in your favor. If FIS is not giving you increment or treating you badly, leave and find a new job.

When an H-1B worker is hired, they bring their spouse on an H-4 EAD, followed by their children, and their friends. This process introduce a toxic work culture characterized by outsourcing, nepotism, favoritism, and corruption. It fosters micromanagement, backstabbing, and exploitative conditions akin to sweatshops, ultimately resulting in the replacement of American workers with their own compatriots.

Microsoft's Xbox division is under fire on social media following significant job cuts. The company plans to eliminate approximately 4,800 positions, with 1,600 of those impacting its gaming unit. This announcement comes shortly after Microsoft received approval to hire over 2,200 foreign workers via H-1B visas. Critics argue this indicates a preference for foreign labor over domestic employees, leading to accusations of prioritizing cost savings. Microsoft maintains that these decisions are business-driven and that H-1B employees were also affected by the layoffs.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fury-erupts-us-brand-fires-1600-employees-after-securing-thousands-foreign-worker-visas The same is true for Dell too?

Months ago we heard Walmart planned 3000+ H1B hires. Then, the Trump administration attached a $100,000 fee for bringing in a foreign H1B employee to replace a US based associate. After that, Walmart walked back their H1B plans.

Now, a federal judge has ruled the fee is illegal. Does that mean we’ll see Walmart dump a ton more US based associates and bring in foreign H1B workers to take those jobs? If I had to guess, I’d say, yes- they probably will.

Is more caste coming?
More OPT EAD, H1B, L1, H4 EAD hiring and less American jobs.

Enjoy!

Let's see how many H1B filings happen before or after the Xbox layoffs. Should be interesting....

Why are there so many H1Bs still working in the CSO organization? Why can't they be replaced with experiences US Citizens?? This is what this company betrays the great USA on its 250th birthday???

because now only H1Bs are left :-)

I have been laidoff and need to train my h1b contractor who will do my job, what options do I have?

The University of Oregon aims to cut $65 million from its budget. It previously laid off over 100 employees and instituted a hiring freeze. President Karl Scholz announced the freeze to conserve resources. During this period, the university filed many H-1B visa applications. These applications were for various roles, including professors and research associates.
