We have a serious problem, and it is hurting American society. My Indian manager’s manager is sitting in India, and there is a lack of work ethics throughout the management chain. There is no real work-life balance, and this management culture is simply hurting American workplace culture.
With the shift toward AI, we should no longer be relying on H-1B employees in the same way. We need to reduce unnecessary layers of management and put more resources into engineering - hiring and retaining people who can actually code, leverage AI effectively, and deliver results. We need fewer managers and more capable engineers who can build.
