Whatever substances you're consuming, do less of it.
@dc What are you babbling about?
this admin has banned common household tech under the sake of national security, the cherry on the top would make these US and federal operating businesses pay more in taxes when their labor force is offshored.
@ct i don’t like republicans but this is an accurate statement. Dems are pretending everything there is fine.
This company operates like a massive pyramid cess pool - most of the money funnels towards the top layer no matter what happens. They have started squeezing the tooth paste out of the bottom end even more.
Shut down any program the end effect will be the same.
The leadership doesn’t know how to make enough money for the tech they sell. It’s why competitors keep biting away their share and why It’s an economic sh-t hole masquerading as a profitable corp.
Ya sure I believe politicians right before an election. Im sure everything Vance said will come to pass on H1B changes. This wont all get reversed right after the election. Im sure his Indian wife is all for the changes he proposed as well.
Let's also put this in perspective...what was limited on Oct 8 was PERM applications (green card), not H-1B visas. They are two distinct processes. Granted, slowing down PERM for those specific companies is a good start (and I'm here for it), but it's not the massive H-1B win that is being conflated here and elsewhere
- Cisco filed 754 PERM applications in 2024 (only 3 in 2025 if the data is to be believed)
- Cisco has an estimated several thousand H-1B visa holders (maybe 1000 new ones in 2025). There are no current changes for these. There could be in the future, but nothing has been announced yet.
- Cisco has outsourced several more thousand jobs to countries outside the US, which is in addition to, and entirely separate from, both PERM & H-1B.
Mooooooooaaaarrrrr H1B limits! Really want to see more crackdown
I don't see what's funny. Just ppl trying to survive attacking ppl trying to survive. 😔
