Thread regarding Citigroup Inc. / Citibank / Citi layoffs

@ys - nothing against an individual this is about the immigration system and how corporates are abusing. This is the reason MS is penalized, they let go 6000 employees and hired 6,300 H1Bs because they have huge presence in India and they get special benefits in India. Corporates are dictating governments :-)

Why you guys show scorn on H1 employees? Understand the frustration. It’s companies that are hiring them. Show the anger at them. It’s understandable with anger that they shouldn’t hire foreign workers if locals are hurting. But not hatred at people/employees.

@ht you should leave our county

Nope, never felt any of these things in my 20+ years at Citi.

Knock yourself out, genius

@dn H1B is a temporary work visa. The concept of staying forever came through PERM applications. It was a very mistake done during Obamas tenure and we are paying the price. Enough said and talked about - H1B is a foreign worker program that’s competing against the very citizens of this nation. You Indians don’t even allow North Indians into South and you expect us to show warm welcome and welfare. Gone are those days. By far India has grown by leaps and bounds. So there is no harm in returning.

Please report all fraud, racism and caste discrimination to the USCIS. Most of the fraud hires and their managers bring bad culture to Citi. They should not have been here in the first place. The situation in Texas and Florida is very bad. Citizens are being treated as sh-t. This is horrible.

L1 and B1 visas need scrutiny too. Neither have caps or wage mandates and are the preferred method of ICCs to bring people to the states with little to no oversight.

“H-1B exists, therefore American workers are paid less” is not a valid causal argument. H-1B employers are required to pay at least the applicable actual wage or prevailing wage, whichever is higher, and there are additional protections against displacement and discriminatory practices in certain cases.

Likewise, filing a PERM application is not evidence of fraud. PERM is a legal employment-based immigration process. If someone believes a particular PERM filing contains false information or that an employer failed to follow the required recruitment process, report the specific evidence—not every PERM filing simply because it involves a foreign worker.

And blaming H-1B workers as a group for “all the discrimination and fraud” is no more reasonable than blaming all U.S. workers for misconduct committed by a few individuals.

@db The very reason why American workers are getting paid less is because of all of this H1B overheads such as fees, PERM filing etc.,
You are taking away our jobs, promotions, salary hikes and talking about losing jobs to overseas. Plus all the discrimination and the frauds these H1Bs do at work .Doesn’t make any sense to me. Keep reporting all the fraud patriots. Report all PERM filings and renewals.

You clearly don’t understand how employment-based work visas work.

H-1B workers are getting paid less. In many cases, employers actually have costs associated with sponsoring an H-1B employee, including attorney fees and the preparation and maintenance of immigration documentation.

Also, an H-1B worker’s career progression can be more complicated because changes in job duties, job title, or work location may require the employer to evaluate whether an amended or new petition is needed. That can create additional immigration-related constraints and administrative costs.

Instead of assuming that H-1B workers are receiving preferential treatment, you should be looking at the broader issue: whether Citi is moving more and more jobs and functions to India or other lower-cost locations. That may have a much more direct impact on U.S.-based employees and their long-term career opportunities.

If you do this, many VPs, AVPs and Directors on H will lose their jobs. Most of them are frauds anyways. Go and check in Tampa, Irving, Florida, NJ/NY,MO...
I suspect many of them have fake degrees and 100% of them have some kind of fake experience.
