Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

@1b3
this is true i have witnessed it at AT&T in Alpharetta ga. where three IT building are, at North Point Parkway Alpharetta ga. (e.g. build 300, 400, 500). They have monopolized IT (e.g. information technology) jobs. starting back 15 years ago with Tech Mahindra, took over american IT contract/temp jobs at AT&T and laid off thousands in Atlanta metro area. since SBC communications inc. bought AT&T and the right to use that name it's become a bull-sh** company running by people from India. STOP this PLS, in America USA. thx

Someone should help America create a Git HUB that makes the corporation pay $ to share code over seas. This should also include stringent rules for security.

Find the managers who are getting kick backs for work overseas.
Attach a punishment on this.
Do studies of the work overseas and if it results in an outage investigate the route cause.
Stop having multiple companies try to recruit Americans to work cheap labor when they are getting paid multiple times for the same job.
Punish companies that have security breaches and make sure it is known that these breaches cost them more. SO they do not always save money.
Make sure executives who are favoring their people over Americans since they got promoted sometimes for there skills but other times since they know someone in the company. Stop the favoritism. Stop discrimination against white people in our own company. Encourage scholor ships for Americans in schools who study IT and technology. Bring awarness that we are the minority and need affirmative action too.

They will always get around it by partnering with a US based consulting firm that utilizes offshore resources.

Can you place a tariff on services?

It is totally racist for American companies to not hire workers from other countries!

The plan to outsource to India is not working and you get what you pay for,
Perhaps that is why AT&T has had outages in 2025.

White people are discriminated against.
The executives are mostly Indian.

Let’s focus on the current offshoring of jobs then we will be concerned about the future AI job losses.

@OP The danger of Americans jobs are not foreign workers but AI.

@OP They are not stealing jobs…It’s called capitalism and American companies are giving the jobs away to people who have the qualities that most of the employees working at AT&T offices lack.

Well.. Americans are fired and H1s are kept. Thats been the truth and will be..

Outsourcing to overseas to save money is T's entire strategy.

There are no entry-level jobs available because of AI. Look it up.

Trump needs to make all current H1B and other work visas NULL and VOID. All Green card applications by H1B sponsoring companies, NULL and VOID. And give them 30 days to leave the country. Work Visa are TEMPORARY VISA. But they have corrupted the system and corporations have abused it. Please go back to your home country so our US Citizen college graduates can find jobs.

More like theft by billionaires when they start using AI to do menial white-collar jobs. thousands upon thousands will lose their jobs. google it.

OP....We shouldn’t accept H1B applicants. The quality of Indian workers in India is far better than Indian workers in the U.S. who are seeking work visa or green card. Also, know that Indian Directors/ADs only hire Indians. Check out webphone and you’ll see.

Are you referring to not accepting H1B applications for FTE only or contractors as well?
This will make the contracting firms very mad!

I pull WebPhone weekly to provide reporting on FTE/contractor ratios, as well as, offshore vs. onshore ratios.

@a1 that’s did not happen. Have you noticed with the big beautiful Bill, they just gave all the corporations billions of dollars in tax cuts.

They’ve bought up the housing market as well, they’re the only ones buying up houses since they took our jobs.

And yet you still won’t be able to stay since you are a prime target for surplus.

.....Projects come to a screeching halt and I have to work weeks and weeks of overtime to cover the people that have to reapply for visas. For some reason, visas all have to be renewed in December? So my December gets all jacked up.

If they don't renew before their due date and wait the 6 month grace period, they need to travel to their home country for renewal. MAYBE they won't be allowed back into the US!

@ds Bin go.
They hire their friends & family.
Like AT&T used to do.

“ India worker culture is strange too. They hire each other”
Ever wonder why that is? Because they pay kickbacks to each other for getting hired. That’s their culture. Also why there are tons and tons of them and most don’t do anything.

@cy

Bu11$h1t!!

Even when you see it, you still won’t believe it (e.g., J6).

A fair compensation system supports a sustainable economy with a large middle class who can buy/afford the products and services companies are selling.

Truth. This is exactly what I've been saying for awhile. No middle class = no profits for these companies.

I don't see a single Chinese tech worker. Its all India. I remember when Japanese tech workers were the craze in the 2000's, but that lasted just a few years. I see more India workers than ever. I don't see any skilled American applicants. Its as if the damage is done. Corporate America destroyed US tech jobs with ATT at the lead of the pack. India worker culture is strange too. They hire each other, but then they become discriminate against their fellow Hindu/Islam people. All I hear is my boss saying how worthless they are and HE'S from India! India love Americans it seems like. I can do no wrong. Its all upside and weird reverse rcism. I don't get it. Don't get me started about visas. Projects come to a screeching halt and I have to work weeks and weeks of overtime to cover the people that have to reapply for visas. For some reason, visas all have to be renewed in December? So my December gets all jacked up.

I will believe it when I see it

Globalization (Greed) is a race to the bottom for the majority while the minority elite class becomes enriched at the expense of the working class. Lords vs serfs, been tried over the centuries and eventually the population rises up against their masters due to the deplorable wages, benefits and working conditions at the altar of more efficiency and profits. Example: Exec’s compensation packages has gone up by multiples of hundreds times the average worker over the last few decades without any justification other than it’s been unchecked by any regulations thus, unbalanced. Wall Street management/funds in conjunction with executive leadership is bleeding corporations like a leech with their board members and policy changes then they move on once the company is a shell of itself. They destroy good companies and drastically reduce good working class jobs by layoffs, off-shoring, contracting and rebadging. How is that helping communities, workers and the country as a whole?

A better and proven system is that everyone enjoys a fair piece of the pie who is evolved in the process not the out of whack version corporations are using now where the vast majority of profits go to the top 1% and Wall Street. A fair compensation system supports a sustainable economy with a large middle class who can buy/afford the products and services companies are selling. A balanced Wall Street, Main Street and Kitchen table economy is a better system vs the GREEDY globalization one in place now. It ends with the few elite having all the resources while the majority suffers.

Yawn 🥱

As usual, the comments from your leader are barely intelligible—and the followers don’t seem much better. Let’s get something straight: no one is “stealing” jobs. Workers in other countries often put in more hours for far less pay. That’s just economic reality.
Another flawed assumption is that these are somehow “American” jobs, reserved exclusively for Americans. That’s simply not how the system works. Jobs belong to corporations. The owners—shareholders, boards of directors, and executives—decide whom to hire and where, based on two main factors: skill and cost.
This is a globalized tech economy. You’re not just competing with your neighbor—you’re competing with talent across the world. Market forces, not entitlement, will determine your future.
What’s especially ironic is that many of you call yourselves conservatives or libertarians. You champion free trade and global business—until it affects your job. Suddenly, you're the most qualified person who deserves top dollar and job protection.
Here’s a hard truth: no company exists to serve your personal interests. Their goal is efficiency and profit, not your comfort. Deal with it.

this is the part where stanky says he appreciates you and reminds you he’s looking forward to employee appreciation week

Only to be staffed by cheap H1Bs and their spouses on work permits.

You dum--ss you know the reason. Artificial Intelligence is taking over Indian jobs. There will not be any more jobs because of Ai

That should have been done a long time ago. Tax the p1$$ out of these greedy corporations who outsource and in source H-1Bs!
