#hiring

With everything going on with H1Bs and talks about an outsourcing tax has BNY thought about focusing more on hiring in the US?

The tax itself seems unlikely, but it still is going to influence the amount of outsourcing a company does. Can’t have all experts abroad and get hit with a massive tax bill because you have no experts in the US.

General economy and job data have been bad, but we still see hiring posts from TU and haven’t really learned about any workforce reduction initiatives .

What gives? Or is this about to change ?

Not only did they announce a near 2 million dollar facelift in Round Rock the day after a mass layoff. They have now announced a 25 million dollar EXPANSION to RR. And its their initiative to hire financially challenged people 35% of the staff base they say....WTH so we will get even more unqualified people than we already do....When did it become lets hire to get our name out there in a good light vs hiring the right person for the job. Leadership is a JOKE at Dell, we are going to do this because XYZ company is. Just because someone else is doing it, doesn't mean its right. They are returning to their previous roots when they were nothing but box pushers. Heaven forbid you actually do something that is beneficial to the customer. They try to use AI and fall flat on their faces repeatedly. To me hard to sell people on AI when you can't even use it successfully in house...Their AI engine comes via Nvidia, again no development on Dells part, just push the product out the door. Someone with some brain please buy Dell...!!

Why the obsession with hiring cast-offs from other OEM at all levels? Are they trying to informally gain access to benchmarking practices of other companies? External hires have done nothing but bring more confusion and problems. Company is being driven into the ground.

Since we know that the FCC is following along to:

Walmart is reeling after revelations that a vice president in its Global Tech division allegedly pocketed bribes worth tens of thousands of dollars per day from Indian staffing firms. The scheme, exposed not by auditors but through anonymous posts on Blind and Reddit, led to the abrupt termination of about 1,200 contractors many believed to be on H-1B visas. The episode has sparked questions not only about corporate governance at America's largest retailer, but also about how deeply Walmart has relied on foreign labor pipelines to fill U.S. jobs.

Contemplating applying to this company 😩.
Can someone explain why are there offering positions if they are thinking about rif? Are the rifs in certain departments?

Somebody I know had an offer pulled by Schwab a week after he accepted it, no proper reason provided. Does anybody know why this could have happened?

Every company I look at is either frozen, shrinking, or only taking a handful of new employees.

I love that we are trying to chase what Exxon has done 10+ years ago and now while CVX has decided to go full Darth Vader and throw the baby out with the bath water, they are strategically making moves that will make us (I.e. our yes-men, short sited management) look terrible. Guess we’ll add those jobs back in 10 years too when they’ve moved on to their next strategy. #thechevronway

How quickly will replacement hiring begin after this layoff cycle? What business function will begin hiring first?

More layoffs coming to hire young talent

Concerning Contractor Hiring Trends and Potential Workforce Impacts

Many departments are currently undergoing an aggressive wave of contractor onboarding, specifically through Infosys, to support ongoing projects. Leadership has indicated that this shift is driven by a desire to reduce long-term costs associated with employee benefits including health, dental, vision, 401(k), and HSA offerings.

This strategic direction raises serious concerns. The scale and intensity of contractor hiring, coupled with the rationale provided, suggest a possible restructuring effort that may include significant layoffs of permanent staff. Employees should be aware that the October–December period could bring substantial workforce reductions.

Encourage all team members to:

📄 Document any unusual activity—including changes in responsibilities, access, or communications.

🛡️ Safeguard employment records and correspondence that may be relevant to future HR or legal inquiries.

⚖️ Explore legal options, including consultation regarding potential class action protections, should patterns of displacement or discriminatory practices emerge.

Transparency and accountability are essential. Let’s stay informed, vigilant, and united.

I know we have job postings for California but I don't think I've seen any actual Americans get said positions.

I worked from that office before Covid in the Housecalls department. Is the office still there or has it moved? Is Optum still offering Housecalls to its members? Are they still hiring people to make the Housecalls from the Las Vegas, Texas, and San Diego offices?

One in five U.S. employers surveyed by the Conference Board plans to slow hiring in the second half of 2025, nearly double the rate of companies that anticipated bringing on fewer people at this time last year.

Been looking for a change and there is nothing out there. I have many friends that put in applications all day long and get nothing. Anyone having any luck with petro-tech jobs? It is not only this industry as well, buy seems to be across the board.

Hearing it will be Q3/Q4

BlackRock has deliberately violated the intended purpose of the H1B visa by sponsoring many junior positions such as analysts and associates. These roles are typically suitable for qualified American young professionals, yet BlackRock prefers to hire foreign workers on H1B visas. The reason for this appears to be discriminatory practices, as managers—often of Chinese or Indian origin—favor hiring foreign candidates over qualified Americans. Additionally, their interview process is unfair to American applicants. H1B visas should not be permitted for junior-level roles at BlackRock, as this practice harms job opportunities for young Americans. The government must take action against a system that allows companies like BlackRock to exploit H1B visas, resulting in American workers losing jobs unfairly.

Contact the USCIS and report Blackrock visa abuse today!

I applied for a job that they are filling due to 3 people taking VRP. Is this a good move? I thought they wanted to cut the workforce, not replace them.

so, why is there so much H1B at Dell, or even in other countries, when there are a ton of US based workers that have been laid off. I thought the purpose of H1B is to use folks from other countries when there aren't enough qualified US people to do the same job. I think in this current economy, we have moved beyond that. We have plenty of qualified US workers to do the jobs being done by H1B workers here in the US. I feel H1B is being abused and not used for its intended purpose. Companies are using it for cheap labor. I'm willing to be that there are plenty of laid off US workers that would be do the same job for the price they're paying the H1B people. Seems like we need to make a shift in this now changing landscape.

Yet again - US Citizens laid off and H1 Visa holders getting hired!

I joined the company and have loved every moment so far. Thanks to my new team for being wonderfully great.

I do sit next to a negative nanny who should be fired though. She sounds as nasty and made as most of you. Can you angry birds go dive into the ocean and stay?

Placed on admin leave with no timeframe because "your position is under evaluation" due to "restructuring/reorg and looking to reduce costs"? Anyone familiar with this? Thanks!

How do the jobs posted in rd 2 look in the subsurface space? Big cuts?

The company should take action against managers who engage in fraudulent or biased hiring practices. Such practices can bring in employees who may not be qualified, which negatively affects the workplace environment.

I've learned the hard way that just because jobs are listed online doesn’t mean the company is actually hiring. Some postings feel more like window dressing than real opportunities. It wastes my time and achieves absolutely nothing. It's infuriating, if you want the truth.

Are laid-off folks offered a chance to land another role within Oracle in a set time frame? When I was laid off from my previous company last year, I had 60 days to apply for internal openings (spoiler: I didn’t get anything). I’m wondering if Oracle has a similar process or not.

The offers are above the market. Judging by their boards, they need marketers, designers, strategists and sales. It's a mess there. Take advantage of chaos.

Hey all, I’m a geo looking for my second role and thinking about whether it’s worth applying to Permian Resources if something comes up. I’ve seen a lot of harsh feedback - poor culture, little support, high turnover, and I’m honestly hesitant. Jobs are scarce though, so I’m wondering is it really that bad, or are there any redeeming qualities? Would appreciate any honest insights.

Given all the layoffs that are sweeping through the company and still to come, are any of the jobs listed on oracle.com actually open? Can anyone inside comment as to whether they've seen any hiring happening or is it frozen for 60 days?

Is it true there are no h1b renewals/extensions being done? That’s another way to reduce

Well it finally happened! Someone called the anonymous hotline and reported the cheating that was going on with the test to get hired in Carlsbad. I really feel like anyone hired in the last year should have to retake the test without someone helping them and be fired if they can’t pass it. It’s pretty unfair that people missed out on a job opportunity to someone that cheated on the test.

How have the hiring trends been at the firm lately or is there still lots of retirements and attrition ? So glad I took the lump sum at the end of 2021. Hope the pension gets funded and restricted lump sum is not on the horizon.

Anyone else privy to the new policy that roles can’t be backfilled or hired until you prove why AI can’t do the role? And then you have to go and justify your position to MAV and ME, for them to approve.

Per meeting with director today 75 pos are looking to be added to FTC ABS/Amisys teams for the 3rd and 4th qtr...seems like a lot. These pos will be internal and external applicants.

I just had a former CDW coworker let me know that the jobs of a few people who were let go in July are now posted on LinkedIn. These were longer-term coworkers who were making a clear and critical impact for CDW who were let go--all of them in their late 40s/early 50s.

And now CDW tries to rehire for those jobs?

I see a lawsuit in CDW's future.
