I would even bet h1b hiring will continue

It stimulates economic growth.

Businesses start spending. When businesses spend, they hire more employees. When companies hire more employees, the job market improves. When the job market improves, everyone will leave for greener pastures.

Bye bye!

Go to x.com and search for @usaa and click "Latest" at the top and have a look, lots to look at, at least 3 whistle blowers have come forward providing information about whats going on at USAA to the public.
It looks like Navy Federal is doing the same thing...
Its been revealed that USAA has 11.5 Indian H1b workers for every FTE.
So a 1:11.5 ratio FTE to H1B ratio

This is a passionate expression of frustration stemming from discussions with colleagues who have either been encouraged to seek new positions at SAP or are anxious about facing such a situation themselves, particularly within our European context.

A visit to the internal job portal reveals that most job postings seem to cater to specific individuals rather than genuinely opening opportunities for all. Common issues include unnecessary educational requirements, irrelevant experience criteria, location restrictions despite team distribution, and a requirement of very high German language skills or travel demands. It often appears that hiring managers have predetermined candidates in mind, using the recruitment process merely to appease the Betriebsrat, which leads to a cycle of favoritism and inflated salary increases for those already in the loop. This situation leaves little hope for our European colleagues who are being pushed to find new roles, as many of these misleading job ads will likely force them out of the company instead.

In my own area under MA, we've seen several individuals rapidly ascend the ranks or switch teams multiple times, often with significant salary boosts, highlighting the disparity in opportunities.

What can we do to improve this process for those facing job insecurity at SAP, especially when the available positions seem to favor personal connections over merit?

My AVP team just hired from the outside a month ago and just surplused two others (without performance or attendance issues) -- both in Dallas.
Yes... both surplused employees over 50.

Make it make sense!

I saw a few roles open up there? Whats the story is there a reorg in the chemical plant and those are reorg jobs or are those really positions where they have a demand?

others are cutting but we are adding.

Heard from a recruiter today that companies are having a hard time hiring h1b's due to the government shutdown. I guess that's at least on positive of the shutdown.

How are they hiring in HUMCS Now when they just let people who accepted the ERP go? Also, we have some teammates who accepted ERP that won't be "ABLE to GO" until end of March, 2026! They're all super upset, understandably!

All the jobs I applied to have the status "Job Application Closed" all of a sudden and no new jobs appear to be posted in Atlanta...

It’s honestly disheartening. You’ll see job postings with over 1,700 applicants, sometimes just two days after going live.

So many ghost jobs. So many ghosting recruiters.

And when you do get an interview, the bias and racial discrimination bingo card fills up fast.

If your job hunt’s going better, I salute you. If not, grab a seat. Misery loves memes. ☺️😁

What do you all think? Does that mean imminent layoffs in US/UK?

AWS outage yesterday took them all down

Costs went down, but so did quality. Now we spend twice as long fixing mistakes that never used to happen. Figure that.

Wells Fargo has been dealing with an investor lawsuit alleging a practice of false job candidate interviews intended to prop up an image of diversity to satisfy an internal company program.

I really wish they’d just tell us what’s going to happen and when. We’re working ourselves into a frenzy here. Jobs are scarce, bills are high, and being laid off in times like this is pure panic fuel. It would be nice if they at least handled this professionally and with a bit of basic consideration.

What happened to all the good high paying jobs and growth the company promised when they took all those tax incentives from Suffolk county?

What's up with the recruiters asking for a passport in an interview?

Is it at all possible the rumors are wrong? Target still has openings listed on indeed. We’ve heard nothinb(not that we would before they wanted us to). Is it at all possible? I still don’t think they are going to want even more bad pr. Or am I just wishing it?

Anyone else notice the target audience for hiring and who gets to stay??
The Indian (India) Invasion and similar cultures.

Anyone have the full list of American universities we no longer recruit from? I think it is a shocking list.

Hiiii everyone! I am seeing a lot of negative comments about their managers and their customer service and such, I wonder if anyone has ever worked on the corp side? Like the workforce management/Data Analyst side? I am not see any complaints about those roles and I am looking to set up an interview in the next few days, so I want to be prepared.

If you are not Indian, forget applying.

In fact, if you already work here, you will soon be laid off.

INDIANS ONLY!

Curious if anyone has received any job offers since the government shutdown and federal background checks went offline two weeks ago?

Anyone notice new grad job postings with salaries $130k- $180k??? For new grads???

But we can those with experience and knowledge.

This is from 2007-2008 period when Calgary’s job market was hot. Lots of young engineers were quitting Imperial Oil. Imperial was desperate to retain its people. Salary bumps across the board were in double digits (and not the lower double digits).

I remember attending Engineering VP Eddy Lui’s town hall meeting for the engineers and geoscientists. Eddy was explaining how Imperial Oil had a d-mbbell shaped demography curve - lots of people in their very early careers, lots of people at the end of there career, and almost no-one in the mid-career in the company. The reason for this demography was Imperial’s decision to lay off and not hire anyone in the early and mid 90s. Eddy said, “Never again Imperial will make such a mistake!”. In his words, Imperial will hire engineers at a steady pace irrespective of the company’s situation. Eddy and upper management were worried about the future of the company. When the seniors retire, they would leave a vacuum in the company.

Let’s come to the present now. Some of the folks who attended that session are at the top of the company now. I am telling you, you folks will have to repeat Eddy’s comment when no one will come to Imperial Oil when the market recovers. You will be saying, “Never again Imperial will make such a mistake!”.

Anyone knows if they will allow hiring of contractors again. I know some groups never stopped hiring but some are still on hold.

More new executive hires. SunTruist changes leadership in various areas like dirty socks. We are now spending millions to try and get back the wholesale payments and business they three years ago didn’t give a damn about. This circus needs a bigger tent!

TATA Consulting Services CEO K. Krithivasan indicated the company will halt new H-1B recruitment and shift toward hiring locally in the US and other priority markets. TCS remains the largest US H-1B employer with 98,259 hires from 2009 to 2025, including 5,505 in 2025. He said the US already has sufficient H-1 staff, renewals will be selective, and local participation will rise, linked to AI work that needs client proximity and broader skill mixes, similar to TCS’s high local staffing in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

Analysts read this as a wider pivot in visa strategies. They expect companies such as Amazon, Cognizant, and Microsoft to favor L-1 transfers to avoid about 100,000 dollars per H-1B applicant, reducing fresh H-1B demand and speeding a move to L-1 routes for US roles.

TATA Consulting Services CEO K. Krithivasan says no new H-1B hiring soon, with a shift to growing local staff in the US and other markets. TCS will renew some existing H-1Bs, but aims to boost local participation, citing AI projects that need closer client work and broader skills.

Analysts expect others may copy this move. Companies may favor L-1 transfers to cut about 100,000 dollars per H-1B hire, reducing new H-1B demand.

Younger folks, seriously, don’t fall into the trap of doing two people’s jobs because the company refuses to hire enough staff. Work at your normal pace, take your breaks, and use your time off. If they keep cutting people, they’ll eventually realize they have no one left to fire.

With all the layoffs, why is there hiring happening? I’m not even talking about hiring cheaper folks abroad, but right here. How do layoffs and hiring at the same time make even a lick of sense? Inquiring minds want to know.

Optum layoffs OCTOBER16....Any tea?
