A quarter of a million dollars in college education;
Then they get a job at companies like IBM to get replaced by cheaper work visa employees who have been brought over here: what a cool system!

Arvind's goal is to move as many US and Europe jobs to India... He is not Indian for nothing. Heads up people!
Absolutely true, most finance jobs are resourced out to India. So much for Arvind's "Made in America"

you are right einstein, immigration has nothing to do with layoffs

When I was in college, aerospace engineering was the place to be. The propaganda was all over the place, from high school to college...get an aerospace engineering degree, go to Everett or Los Angeles or someplace like that, and hit it big building airplanes and spacecraft and satellites and stuff.
Then in the late 1980s and early 90s, the industry collapsed.
It would be interesting to see where all those aerospace engineering majors ended up, because for a lot of them it sure as he-l wasn't in the aerospace industry.
The same thing is happening in the present era with majors like computer science and electrical engineering. Like just about every college major out there, there's too many of them. Too many of them, and they want too much money. You can't blame them, of course, for demanding payment for doing what society asked of them...but the cold, hard fact is that the entire social structure is unsustainable. Lots of chiefs and not enough Indians (the feathered kind)...lots of people in the carriage and not enough horses...pick your cliche and it will still be true.
It will eventually collapse.
You are getting downvotes for a frivolous non layoff related topic - written by some country hick who happens to despise all immigrants legal or otherwise - and PS# Writing multiple replies to your own thread is clearly visible - why? Your country r ed nec k roots show!
Thank you for the tip about the most downvoted posts being the most interesting! Now I will be sure to read those... I wonder if the folks doing the downvoting are helping us (and hurting IBM) by pointing out what SHOULD be read?
most of the it workers in the 80 and 90's didn't go to uni for a degree in IT. but became very successful in the field. Most degrees are just not worth the effort, esp in IT, by the time they put the curricula together its out of date. we all know its constant learning IT for most folk. then I look at other degrees and to be honest they are not worth the paper they are written on. I'm almost suspicious, its another ploy to get people to become more poor, forcing the workforce to have a degree to work, for a simple role most people could do with a bit of coaching and guidance. The only degrees i think are needed is things like medical, law nuclear etc. Not a DB administrator etc.
It's obvious IBM is hiring folks in India to do the massive downvoting: any post that presents H-1Bs in a positive light gets upvoted, and the other posts (esp the ones who put H-1Bs in a negative light) get downvoted. To the folks who do this job at IBM's bidding: get a life.
I expect this very post to be heavily downvoted, which means that it struck a cord.
"I am not sure if the downvoters realize it, but their downvotes effectively flag the most interesting topics. So I always read the items with the most downvotes first."
propaganda only works once
when most people begin to observe with their own eyes what the trends are they stop listening to it
I am not sure if the downvoters realize it, but their downvotes effectively flag the most interesting topics. So I always read the items with the most downvotes first.
looks like someone rigged the approve/disapprove again
that's funny, to bad you could not fix your own countries
and oh wait, it looks like our country is in decline too
FYI, people on H1B are not cheap labor, they spend same amount of money studying in US universities and get the required education. I'm so shocked to see such racist, ignorant comments here.
I agree there is a big problem with the cost of education verses ability for graduates (even in tech) to pay back. The pandemic revealed how much consumer spending power is tied up in college debt (inflation partly caused by increased spending from people who had loan payments suspended). But even without the issue of college loan debt, the system of replacing American workers with low cost visa workers undercuts our middle class and pushes wealth further upward to a smaller group of people. Ultimately this is not sustainable for a civilized society.
Cheap worker visa employees actually pay more for US college education (no Daddy/Mommy trust fund $, no Federal loans nada), work harder and have lower expectations than most!
Lower your expectations, be humble and work hard, take responsibility and above all stop blaming others for your pathetic life!
