I imagine gunjan is fuming in her office today. Saw much in the news today about the Trump admin cracking down on corporations like Microsoft, cognizant, infosys, etc. for replacing American workers with cheap foreign labor (indians).
Can they look into USB next?
Hate Trump all you want, but if we had a Democrat in office we would be getting flooded with more "talent" from India. At least something is being done to help us.
@qz You acknowledged in your own comment that she is not equal to a US born citizen. You even pointed out 2 examples.
@nn @nm yeah but what did GK do or you think she would do that would cause her to be stripped of her US citizenship? Nothing! So that makes her equal to someone who is a citizen by birth.
OK. Before you get all excited, yes she cannot run for President of USA as a naturalized citizen. But given how few US born citizens run it's almost a moot point.
In summary, unless GK does something awful (which she won't) she is equivalent to a US born citizen. I know it is very very hard to digest that fact but there is no shame in accepting the truth.
@k1 Wrong. A naturalized citizen who was not born in the US can be de-naturalized (stripped of citizenship) and deported in some circumstances. A person born in the US cannot have their citizenship removed because it was theirs from birth. Sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative, but let it sink in that you are wrong.
@k1 The only gaps are the ones in your head. And you have a very poor grasp on the realities of the situation, so please sit down and remain quiet before you humiliate yourself even more.
@bh TIL: GK started her immigration as an H1-B after she graduated from Carnegie Mellon. Later when she worked for McKenzie she got a green card. Yet she's sending as many jobs to India as possible.
Allow me to fill you in on the gaps. After getting her green card she continued to be a good citizen, followed all the rules and received her US Citizenship. Assuming you are a citizen, you both are now equals in the eyes of our constitution. Let that sink in ... albeit painfully.
@bw Bingo!
Oh really. Just like he brought manufacturing back to the U.S.? Just like he said there would be no new wars? Or when he promised affordable healthcare for all (healthcare costs have increased 7% since 2024 and there are now 26 million more uninsured Americans -who do you think pays for how much that will cost the economy?)
Remember when he promised to regulate and crack down on big tech? Where are the regulations? What has he done about data centers in our communities or protecting us from AI?
Remember when he promised U.S. farmers he'd negotiate trade deals and help export their goods? FYI, farmer bankruptcies have increased 45% since Trump took office.
The national debt has increased $3.8 trillion. You, the working American taxpayer, have paid for over $300 million in WH renovations, $400 million to retrofit a Qatari gifted aircraft for AFO, $50 million on his golf course, $50 million on his military parades, $100 million on a Trump monument in the National Mall, $260 million on the Kennedy Center renovation, and so far -$29 BILLION on the Iran war. Does that sound like someone who cares about your job? Does that sound like "America First"?
If you're a multi-millionaire, the CEO of a large corporation, a billionaire, an unwavering Trump loyalist with any lawmaking power, or a corrupt leader of a foreign country, Trump loves you and the laws don't apply. The remaining 99% of the population has seen no economic improvement in any way since Trump took office.
Don't kid yourself. Trump couldn't care less about your CEO firing and replacing you with an Indian contractor. As long as that Indian contractor stays in India (contributing to India's economy instead of ours), no one in this administration gives a rat about you, your job, your health or quality of life, your rights or your children.
TIL: GK started her immigration as an H1-B after she graduated from Carnegie Mellon. Later when she worked for McKenzie she got a green card. Yet she's sending as many jobs to India as possible.
Is USB even doing new H1B visas anymore? Seems like they will just hire offshore in India, then no need to do H1B and even cheaper. I think this is a horrible way to run a US business. We have a CEO who immigrated to the US from India and is offshoring as much as possible back to India. How do these people sleep at night? Easy answer: they have no conscious or morals and don't give a sh-t about people other than themselves. Not a care int he world about the damage caused to a US based company or US citizens. As long as they get their huge bonus and stock options every year, they will toss us all out like yesterday's garbage. But guess what? KARMA. It will come for you Gunjan.
H1B visas are great when they are used for what they were intended: bringing in the best and the brightest when there was no American available. Using them to fill low end IT jobs at a reduced rate was criminal and all these execs should be behind bars for fraudulently filling out government documents. Of course all that will come of this is that the companies will pay a $50k fine. Outsourcing is even worse and no one is addressing that.
Bunch of doomers in this thread. You don't think they won't go after GCCs next? This is a step in the right direction. In the meantime I'll be fine if I don't have to see as many Indians in my day to day life.
Doesn't matter. They don't need to come here anymore
....they just ship the jobs to India.
Can’t hurt to send message to elected people state and federal. Takes two minutes. About as much time to post here.
Simple message. Cite American job loss and security risk off shoring.
Meh! Mid-term elections noise. Come back and tell me all the wonderful things this administration is doing AFTER the elections
@OP until the feds start charging corpos a fee or taxing them to more than offset the cost savings for H1Bs/outsourcing/AI, they're not saving any American jobs. This is just headlines.
There are so many things I hate about Trump's personality, but his administration as a whole is sooooooo much better for the long term health of the country.
Nah, GK is happy because she can claim we don't have enough workers in US and that's her excuse to have 20,000 USBank employees in India GCC.
Offshore workers in India is much worse than India workers in US because there are 20,000 of workers in India and not spending money in USA
If you think anything will actually come of this, you're delusional.
Companies literally have lobbyists to ensure they can stay rich. The government isn't going to do anything about offshoring considering that they're heads first into AI trying to line their own pockets.
The rich help other people stay rich. This is nothing but a ploy to sway midterm votes.
