I've 3 remote candidates in my team who are in H1B visa, seems like they're unaffected with the RTO. Not fair!

@1e0 something you aren't considering is the compensation and potential relocation now that so many companies have RTO. Sure you can find another job, but if they are paying you the same and requiring relocation to another state, you wouldn't do it.
@1e0 feeling hostile?
@ct next time, be good enough at your job to find another one if they force RTO
I know of a few remote people who are going to be looking for new jobs because they will not move to Dearborn. They are US based. So there is indeed some type of mandate on US based employees but I cannot comment if it is across the org.
@gy I dont come in.

You have checked with everyone?
Seems like quite an undertaking but no way would you belch out a firm blanket statement without thorough research, right?
You are making a simple mistake - assuming the rules that you follow are in place for everyone. Small minds tend to end up here.
Find a way to live with it. Maybe you'll get a seat on the best filing cabinet one day this week! 😘
@cm You're coming in if you weren't designated remote at hiring.
@dm there’s no way you took that seriously 😂
The Chinese are doing a good job so Indians do a good job?
What kind of non-immigrant logic is that?
China succeeds without Indians.
Ford fails with Indians.
I actually like the Pakistani guys on h-1b. They get sh-t done, unlike the Indians. You can actually trust them with WFH. They should still go back, but if I had my choice, I would pick the Pakistanis.
@e2 then a lot more Americans would have health problems
@da
What is the deal with head bobbing? I have seen it in meetings.
@d0
Perhaps it would be a good idea for the Indian schooled doctors to remain in India. How about that?
@dm look it up
Now I know this is a fake post. Unless you are a VP level, everyone at Ford has a free address desk and no nameplates.
@d9 the same thing applies to China. Just compare BYD's electric cars to Ford's cars which are designed in part by Chinese Americans. Before you say something about forced labor and safety regulations if you do the analysis, you'll find that no American automaker would be cost competitive with the Chinese even if they cheap labor and less regulations.
Look at the recent super intelligence hires by Meta and OpenAI. Most of them are Chinese born, not Chinese Americans.
Just like Indians born in India, those hardships they experience while growing up make them more hardworking.
@d0 I have not found that to be true at all in engineering. Grad school at my college is nearly 95% dominated by mainland Indians. They cheat a TON, cheat on exams, pass around lab reports, prelabs, send each other homework to copy. They cheat sloppily too, don't even hide it from the TA then bob their head hoping the Indian TA vouches for them and doesn't report them to the professor. There are honest ones, but they conduct themselves like greek life where they stockpile documentation to help everyone in the groupme/discord cheat with one another. Makes everyone else look bad because the professor assumes they made the exam too easy when the score is inflated.
@d0 Ironic that you assume I'm Indian, I'm Chinese American.
Again for all of you in the back...
Upvote, downvote ‐ where are you working tomorrow? Where are you parking? 😉
It's not that the university system is better, that's not the case at all. I think it's well established that us University set the bar for pretty much the rest of the world in addition to a select few other areas. I think it's more because there's a higher percentage of people that are simply living in filth. Therefore, more sick people and more real world disease. They simply get in more experience because of the circumstances of their situation. Would be nice if they'd work to make thier country better instead of simply working in the US and sending back money. Obviously that's not helping in the areas that matter.
@c0 you Indians that were born here as US citizens haven't had many hardships in life and usually have less merit than Indians who were born in India and moved to the US
Just go to any medical office where the doctor is an Indian born in the US and studied in the US and compare it to a doctor who studied in India and moved to the US. The US educated doctor will usually be a lot less skilled than the Indian educated one. I have noticed this across many fields of medicine.
If asking you to commute is an unreasonable ask ands not congreuent with yourr original agreement, you don't comply and make them fire you for cause.
@c9 Not true. I, as well as 2 of my LL6 peers, were hired full remote in 2023.
This has been taken away from us (and we work in HR). I left a full remote job for this full remote role that is now RTO like everyone else. Our offers stated we could work from anywhere. I would have asked for more money for my 3 hr commute had I had any idea this could be forced on us.
H1B's is a corrupt program and will replace Americans that has nothing to do with being more educated but about $$$$$$
Downvote all you'd like.
Where will you be tomorrow morning? Parking on a sidewalk and sitting on a filing cabinet - lol!
I'll be in my home office with all associated amenities.
Have a good one!
All comes down to who and/or what you know. Sorry not sorry that some of you are mandated in and those like me are 100% remote.
Stand up for yourselves if it means that much to you.
If anyone is hired or classified as Remote, they stay remote. All job posting going forward will by Hybrid in classification, with the hiring manager allowed to offer the position to someone who would be remote if they are the true best fit for the job.
People can be remote, positions are not.
HR silently removed the 50mi radius for what constitutes remote eligible
@c2 Or from those that were legally born and raised in the US by US Citizens. I agree. Stop crying and just deport!
@bw lol imagine being an Asian American, work harder under strict parents and against affirmative action, get hired by big company... "we're outsourcing your job to x Asian country" "but I am x Asian race" "We don't mean that kind"
"it's only mediocre white people!!!!"
@bn it's same old crying from mediocre white people who can't compete
Another h1b hater , posting cr-p, does there title say they are h1b or you just assume by color of skin?
Remote H1B? Heh… don’t even… if they can do it in India why the he-l drag them here? Oh right.....
