Thread regarding IBM layoffs

IBM is entering a downward spiral

"IBM Corporation has filed 26,872 labor condition applications for H1B visa and 745 labor certifications for green card from fiscal year 2017 to 2019."
IBM hires ZERO American Women, ZERO Minorities, ZERO AMERICANS!!!

"From off-prem to just off: IBM Cloud goes down planet-wide so hard even the status page didn't work.

Widespread outage rolled for two-plus hours, incident report mentions 'broad network incident that is impacting many cloud services'"

"ENTERING" a downward spiral??? Big Blew has been in a downward spiral since 1980 when it paid Microsoft $430K for MS-DOS, but allowed Gates to license the OS to other companies. The curve has continued to tighten over the years, resulting in continuous waves of layoffs today.

Same old same old with the old IBM... it is always about laying off to cut costs... it will never change.

The role of JW is to now make understand IBMers that layoffs are a good thing!!

Totally shameful.

Wait, I thought H1B visas were only for jobs for which there are absolutely no qualified American citizens available.

But IBM just laid off tens of thousands of qualified Americans.

And there are 30 million Americans laid off or out of work.

I guess absolutely none of those Americans could do the job an H1B does, right?

This doesn't mean that IBM and other tech companies are lying about their need for H1Bs, right?

I'm sure they wouldn't do that.

Maybe they aren't hiring quantities of those demographics to your taste, but to be so absolute is a little melodramatic.
