All of this while laying off 1,000s here in the USA. Makes no sense whatsoever, why do they do this, it's like we are working against ourselves.

They have no choice since the younger USA-born technical hires say "F this place" and move on.
@a1 Where’s all of the project/program/vendor management jobs paying $100k+ to click on Excel filters all day? All those jobs you listed sound nerdy and lame.
At those wages I can see it being that few. The mag 7 hires them all I’m sure.

Where are you getting the claim that AT&T "hired 1,000 people using foreign visa programs" in 2026?
The FY2026 DOL LCA data for AT&T Services, Inc. shows 340 records, not 1,000.
Of those, 338 are annual-wage records:
- Average offered base salary: about $170k
- Lowest: about $102k
- Highest: $450k
Some examples:
- Principal Data Scientist - $223k
- Lead Member of Technical Staff - up to $220k
- Senior Member of Technical Staff - about $175k-$178k
- Lead System Engineer - about $172k-$178k
- Principal Software Engineer - $174k
- Senior Software Engineer - $165k
- Senior Product Development Engineer - $169k
- Senior Technical Product Manager - about $150k-$158k
- Senior UX Researcher - $140k
And even saying AT&T "hired 340 foreign workers" would not be accurate based on this data alone.
An LCA record is not the same thing as a new hire. A certified LCA means the Department of Labor certified the Labor Condition Application. It does not mean USCIS approved an H-1B petition, a visa was issued, or that the person was ultimately hired.
So if there's another source showing 1,000 actual new foreign-worker hires at AT&T in 2026, post it. The FY2026 LCA data doesn't establish that claim.
