In Comcast , definitely you will see the better results if you layoff H1B and Green card holders. You will be amazed to see the results

Comcast, if you genuinely want to see better business results, improved productivity, and stronger employee morale, you need to seriously reconsider your layoff and employee retention strategies.

Why are H-1B visa holders and green card holders seemingly being retained while other experienced and qualified employees are losing their jobs?

If this is happening, Comcast leadership owes its employees an explanation. What criteria are being used to determine who stays and who gets laid off? Are these decisions based on technical expertise, performance, experience, and business contributions, or are other factors influencing the process?

Instead of repeatedly laying off valuable employees, Comcast should conduct a transparent and unbiased review of its workforce decisions, including the retention of H-1B and green card employees.

Layoff decisions should be based on measurable performance and business needs, not immigration status or preferential treatment.

Comcast might be surprised by how quickly productivity, accountability, and employee confidence could improve if it adopted a genuinely fair and merit-based approach.

The real question is: Why are some employees being protected while others are being shown the door? Comcast employees deserve transparency and equal treatment.

Layoff all the H1Bs , GCs and hire American as in old days . I am cent percent sure you will see the amazing result just in days

AT&T should prioritize American workers instead of laying off experienced employees while continuing to rely on the H-1B visa program.

Why not return to the days when American companies invested heavily in American talent, provided proper training, and created long-term career opportunities?

If AT&T genuinely wants to improve productivity, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency, it should start by investing in its domestic workforce rather than treating layoffs as the easiest way to reduce costs.

America has plenty of talented engineers, IT professionals, network specialists, and technology graduates who deserve opportunities to contribute.

Before laying off American employees, AT&T should demonstrate that it has exhausted opportunities to retain, retrain, and redeploy qualified domestic workers.

Put American workers first, invest in American talent, and let the results speak for themselves.

Report to JD Vance on X directly

Start reporting H1B and green card abuse for low level Devops, testing, documentation work.

Make all job postings and job requirements public for each H1B employee and have nuetral 3rd port university professors provided opinion if those are specialized job and US citizens cannot do that job.

Also the AI can be used.

Cuts of h1bs

I heard firsthand from two friends that Fortinet has reportedly conducted widespread layoffs affecting its H-1B workforce across the United States. Some employees were given September as their final employment date, while others with more time remaining on their visas were reportedly given until February.

Surprisingly, I haven’t seen any discussion of this on public forums. It would be interesting to know whether others can confirm these layoffs and, more importantly, where those jobs are going.

Another example I’m aware of is Johnson & Johnson (J&J), which reportedly carried out significant layoffs affecting both U.S. workers and visa holders, while shifting some of those positions to India.

I’m curious whether others are seeing similar patterns at these or other companies.

Is the real H1B problem the consulting firms rather than the workers?

Something that keeps getting lost in the H1B wars is the difference between a specialized engineer hired directly by a company and someone supplied through a staffing or outsourcing firm. Critics argue that parts of the consulting industry have used the program to supply lower-cost labor for jobs Americans could perform. Supporters argue that plenty of H1B workers have genuinely specialized skills and are difficult to replace.

Both can exist...

Wouldn't it make more sense to concentrate enforcement on questionable staffing practices, wage violations and fraudulent job descriptions instead of treating every H-1B employee the same? I know we have many people who have worked with both direct hires and consulting firms, what's been your experience?

Federal Investigation??

I just received notice that several large companies, all linked to McKinsey Consulting that all followed the same directions to layoff folks and outsource them over seas to save money, are now involved in a federal investigation. As the investigation continues I am sure many other companies will be identified as well for replacing US workers with lower cost overseas employees when there were/are willing and able US based employees to do the jobs. Over 3 million US jobs have been outsourced overseas across these companies.

Check the news as of October 8th 2026.

#BreakingNews: The US has suspended Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, HCLTech and Capgemini from the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programme, amid investigations into alleged H-1B and PERM abuse. US Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling says multiple federal investigations are ongoing.

Trump administration has suspended green-card processing for several major technology and IT companies, accusing them of abusing immigration programs and displacing American workers.

Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini..........and the list is gowing......

Intuit should also be banned from green card labor program

Just like Adobe was banned today regarding the green card ban, Intuit should’ve also been on that list as well.

Look at the engineer org, pick any manager, look at the team he/she has. It’s not a coincidence, we hired around 8-10 ppl in the past 2-3 months. All were on visa.

Also I’m too afraid to report any of that to HR so spilling my guts here.

Why is DELL not part of the JD VANCE H1B Action agaist Microsoft Adobe and others?

Here is the direct comparison of the layoff and green card (PERM) application data that explains why Microsoft and Adobe were targeted by the government's recent suspension while Dell was excluded:

Microsoft
Layoffs (2025/2026): 6,000 American workers laid off.
H-1B & Green Card Sponsorships: Obtained 6,300 new H-1B visas and applied for nearly 3,000 green cards during the same period.
Government Status: Suspended

Adobe
Layoffs (2025/2026): No mass corporate layoff (net headcount actually grew by ~650), but targeted role cuts occurred.
H-1B & Green Card Sponsorships: Filed 3,682 PERM applications, 1,000 of which the government claims overlapped with positions of workers who were laid off.
Government Status: Suspended

Dell
Layoffs (2025/2026): ~11,000 overall workers laid off.
H-1B & Green Card Sponsorships: Filed 0 new PERM applications in 2025.
Government Status: Not Suspended
Very Large outsource workforce in India

Title: Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini Suspended From Green Card Program

10/8/2026 - BREAKING: Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling: "I am hereby suspending from the Permanent Labor Certification Program some of the largest IT outsourcing firms in the world - Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini - and also, due to multiple active federal investigations, the Department of Labor is suspending Microsoft and Adobe from the program."

The Department of Labor just announced that eight major technology and IT outsourcing companies are being suspended from the PERM labor certification program. The list includes Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini.

PERM is the process employers use to sponsor foreign workers for employment-based green cards. Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said the government will stop accepting new applications and processing pending applications involving these companies. The administration cited alleged immigration program abuses and ongoing federal investigations.

This does not automatically revoke existing H-1B visas, but it could seriously affect employees waiting for employer-sponsored green cards. The timing is particularly interesting given the layoffs across the tech industry over the past several years.

For those working at these companies, how many employees are currently going through PERM? And do you think this will actually lead to more hiring of American workers, or will companies simply move more jobs offshore?

USDOL NEWS • BOMBSHELL

“Today, the U.S. Labor Department froze the PERM green card program for Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini over allegations of VISA FRAUD and DISPLACING LAID-OFF American workers.

The government will no longer accept or process green card applications from these firms. This freeze cuts off any current visa worker’s pathway to permanent residency, which will cause many high-skilled foreign engineers to leave these companies.”

Comcast uses all 8 of these companies. Fraud? The impact of this may be enormous.

Stinky’s worst nightmare

The Labor Department just suspended eight major tech and outsourcing companies from the PERM program, including Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro, HCL, Microsoft and Adobe.

This one has to really sting for Stinky.

AT&T has laid off thousands of American workers while pushing RTO, outsourcing work and chasing cheaper labor overseas. Now the government is putting some of the biggest players in that model under the microscope.

And when you eventually come begging the people you laid off to come back because your H1B and outsourcing plan isn’t working, don’t be surprised when they tell you: HE-L NO!

They haven’t forgotten how you treated domestic American workers while letting overseas employees do whatever the fu-k they wanted.

You can force RTO and lay us off. You can ship the work overseas. But you can’t expect people to forget. F U!

H1B - Perfect window to be heard.

DOL is actively acting on PERM and H-1B abuse, anonymous reporting takes 10 minutes

https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2108205448063037667

My growth was impacted by H1B workers. If you personally saw hiring, internal moves, promotions, or conversions, prioritized for H-1B or EAD workers while qualified people were passed over or discouraged, you can report it without your name going to Ford.

Here is the process:

For PERM or H-1B program fraud, use DOL OIG Hotline: https://www.oig.dol.gov/hotline.htm
Select Yes for anonymous on the first screen. Ford does not get your name.

For citizenship-status discrimination in hiring, DOJ Immigrant and Employee Rights is the lead: https://www.justice.gov/crt/filing-charge

Worker hotline is 1-800-255-7688 if you want confidential guidance first.

For general immigration benefit fraud, USCIS Tip Form allows fully anonymous filing: https://www.uscis.gov/report-fraud/uscis-tip-form

A few tips to stay safe and be taken seriously:

Submit from a personal phone or computer, not a Ford device or Ford VPN
Choose anonymous or confidential, and do not request a confirmation receipt tied to your name

Stick to what you personally saw. Leader names and titles, division, approximate dates, role type, and how the opportunity was steered. No need for old emails, a clear pattern from memory helps

Do not include a private 1 to 1 detail that only you would know. Describe the pattern
Multiple independent, specific tips about the same pattern is what triggers a real look. If this affected you, this is the window where investigators are listening.

Stay safe, and share only if you are comfortable.

H1b visa layoffs?

I heard there are last dates scheduled for H1b visa holders across US for many positions. Even with valid visa not expiring for 2 more years. How true is this. My friend got impacted but I want to see if someone else can shed more light.

Policies, H-1B Visas, and the Human Cost

Currently, Citi is not sponsoring any more H-1B visas. So, before jumping to conclusions about “favoritism” and all the usual “blah blah,” shouldn’t we first acknowledge that organizations are operating within the policies and regulations set by the current government?

I have friends working as vendors who are already living on the edge. If their company loses the contract, it doesn’t just affect a business decision—it could put an entire family’s livelihood and future at risk.

It’s easy to debate these issues from the outside, but behind every visa decision, contract, and policy change are real people trying to build a stable future for themselves and their families.

Maybe we should look at the bigger picture before labeling every decision as favoritism.
