@14e if you had so much wisdom about system here and system here is so bad, why did you come here? why do you not start a movement for people not to come here?

donot quote copy cats
now shut up and stop using AI to frame your 10page response
You are totally insane and in illusion living, your post should read like "the only qualification I have is my color, make me your leader. Ha Ha..
Stop the nonsense arguments. The truth is people vote the better countries by their feet, not by their voice. Statistics don’t lie
@12f they are smarter than you jealous much just look at the stock market the valuations are from the revenues the big tech is generating scaled on the backs of people mostly from one country. Too bad your skin color alone is not a passport to your success
@14e good one
@14e Yup. And you all still want to come here and do not want to go back.
@12f I am from one of those countries you referred to. You're probably American. You should watch the state of your country before climbing on the high pedestal and delivering sermons. For long you have fooled the world with hollywood and your media which has been showing USA as a perfect country with flawless system and where everyone has six pec bodies and where the average IQ of the population is higher than Einstein's. Reality? rampant poverty in huge parts of countries, littered streets in many parts of big cities like Brooklyn in Newyork for example, a country where young diabetic people die because they couldn't afford insulin, more than half a million homeless people, many parts of the country where it is not safe to go out in the dark, a system that has defacto apartheid and on and on. May be crib less, may be stop trying to be global police, may be stop spending mindlessly on those military bases light years away from your country and may be stop embarrassing yourself over and over by getting beat at wars with small countries. The only thing functioning very well is the hollywood propaganda machinery.
PS : cellphone coverage in the Bay area is inferior to the remote interiors of the countries you referred to. Check on that, too!!
We all know most work visas are based in lies fraud and scams
Also we have lot of people from 1 country in all layers of tech work force not because they are smart but because they have gamed the system in all ways
Dont believe me? Just look at the state of these 1 or 2 countries
A troubling double standard in promotions and layoffs
There is growing concern that the company’s promotion and layoff decisions are creating an uneven playing field. Non-American employees appear to have an advantage in reaching Director, Senior Director, VP and SVP positions, while American employees appear to bear a disproportionate share of layoffs and missed advancement opportunities. These concerns deserve to be examined against actual workforce and promotion data.
Even more troubling are reports of Americans being removed from senior management, VP and SVP positions, only for those positions or equivalent responsibilities to subsequently go to non-American leaders. If this pattern is occurring, the company must explain the rationale. Were these decisions driven by demonstrably superior qualifications and performance, or by internal influence, leadership networks and preferential succession decisions?
The danger is a self-perpetuating cycle. As non-American managers gain greater representation in senior leadership, they gain greater influence over hiring, promotions, performance evaluations and restructuring. If these decisions repeatedly favor established networks, the cycle reinforces itself while experienced American employees lose opportunities or their jobs.
This is not about nationality; it is about equal standards, fair opportunities and accountability. Promotions and layoffs must be based on qualifications, measurable contributions, documented performance and genuine business needs—not personal connections or organizational politics.
The company should independently examine promotion rates, layoff rates and replacement appointments by nationality, location and job level, accounting for relevant differences in role, tenure and performance. Particular scrutiny should be given to cases where American leaders were laid off and their responsibilities subsequently transferred to non-American replacements.
If merit is the standard, prove it with evidence. Why do Americans appear to be disproportionately affected by layoffs while non-American managers continue advancing into senior leadership? Until these questions are answered transparently, concerns about unequal treatment and a self-reinforcing leadership pipeline will persist.
No one wants to talk about the likely 20k people msft hired in endia
This is just a shakedown, and you would be insane to think otherwise
