Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

We tried to refill our mobility ops team from US. 2 applicants. first gave up, the second was unqualified.
and i'm getting tired of explaining basics of TCP networking to Tier3 folks.

how about we start hiring on skill and know-how instead of geolocation?

Hire those WFH crybabies?

I DARE the OP to name actual people you want to go after who work at AT&T.

Go department by department. Find us out. Take us on one by one.

Lets start with naming the people shall we?

Having thousands of "H1B Raj's from IT" taking jobs in these economic conditions is just one of the problems. BUT, yes, it is a real problem for the citizens of this country.

In the current environment, there is a glut of talented American workers. Time for some of you H1Bs to go home to your other parts of the world.

@r8 Calling it brainwashing is generous. That would require a brain to begin with.

@r7 true that ! The brainwashing is so advanced, even the brain has clocked out.

Imagine watching a billion-dollar corporation mismanage its workforce and deciding the real problem is Raj from IT. Corporate accountability left the chat, critical thinking never joined. 🤡

@pb The rent is due, huh?

We can't compete with foreign workers. That's why we need protection from them.

@j4 desperate ?

The worst thing that can happen right now is "complacency" . If you are not sending emails and making phone calls to you congressmen there will be no gain when the table flips back blue. We as workers need a full court press asking that , any company who uses outsourced or insourced foreign labor MUST face a 7 year ban on bidding on any government contract. It is your tax money that pays for these contracts. Don't let your own money be your undoing when it comes to putting food on your table. It's worth it to make a congressional contact to vent your concerns. You can bet your bottom dollar T spends millions with their lobby to kn--e you in the back.

@d7

Well. He has cracked down illegal migrants and now H1b fraud. Promises made, promises kept!!

This will go on for the next 18 years (Trump+JD+Marco)!!

It's all about the money:

Budget Flexibility: Companies separate headcount limits from operational expenses (OpEx), allowing them to fund projects through temporary budgets without long-term commitments to full-time employees.

OP do you have statistics on total h1b in at&t and their skill levels??

“amazing result just in days”

Sounds too much like the empty promises our dear orange leader made/makes over and over again 😣.

@af I am having AI make make me up a resume now which will qualify. My friends have a script for when they call my references.

@cg hush up and get back to your mud hut

@ae lazy Americans are entitled to freebies and WFH, nothing will get done

The pay expectation is not the same and the business only cares about the bottom line. Ir doesn’t matter if performance would be better, worse, or the same. The almighty dollar makes the calls and c suite can only see as far as the end of their noses when it comes to impacts. In the nearest future offshore shaves off the bottom line.

You think there are enough people to replace them? Are you qualified for those jobs?

Absolutely agree with OP. It's quite obvious that an H1B program is not needed when unemployment in the tech sector is this high and unhired Americans are waiting in the wings.

Yet and still, the leadership of the company has hired high-level H1Bs at the VP levels and ALLOWED them to hollow-out entire organizations with other members of their CASTE.

THE JIG IS UP. THIS MUST BE FIXED.

Stank is CEO, doesn't care about things like that. Workers are simply human capital. No line item for american or even employees.

@a3 They will Bro . Bro you are not the only one who knows driving in rain and snow . No cards to play bro.

They would have to allow WFH for 24/7 coverage stateside. Driving in ice or snow for 3rd shift unnecessary.
