Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Let's point finger at where it belongs. Stink and his reports like Legg are the ones offshoring jobs at a record pace. And that has nothing to do with H1B, these are jobs leaving the country completely and won't ever come back.

Can tell you if they ask me to train one of these, I won't do it. I want them to fail even if it makes our stock go down. Because the more you support their offshoring efforts, the more they'll do it.

Don’t forget the Czech Republic. Mobility tech here, every ticket we work upgrading Siads, backhaul etc, along with after hours on call NOC is all with the folks in the CR. Been this way for about 4 years or so. You can webphone their location and it’ll take you to giant office complexes.

The high treason against Americans is rife both with the halls of congress and the corporate HQ’s. The former is sworn to be “of the people, for the people & of the people”….that’s American people & not their global corporate “sugar daddies”!

Lot's say Orange Man Bad but Orange Man Good to American Citizens and American Workers. I think we need to give Orange Man another shot to fix the Economy. Country is going to he-l in a hand basket. I do not think we can take another four years of this type of President. I did not vote for Orange Man last go around but I will this time as it may be the only chance in he-l we have.

The only workers from tech mahendra that were competent were ex AT&T American workers that were moved there by the stank.

You don’t have the technical skills.

There seems to be an unwritten rule that if AT&T is going to take money from hardworking Americans and American businesses, then it should only hire Americans who contribute to the American economy, instead of hiring companies from foreign countries that do not contribute to the American economy.

H1B workers work harder and complain less.

Not even close! The arrogance and sense of entitlement completely cancels out any work they do.

H1B visa holders don't need to come to the US to take American jobs physically. They can work remotely from India and take away job opportunities while we sleep. Congress needs to implement changes to prevent greedy companies from exploiting this loophole. Many companies are hiring cheap labor from India, which is unfair to hardworking Americans who deserve these jobs.

That's on you if you guys didn't get training. Man 2005 is a long time so I am not sure why you didn't speak up and get something in the budget.

" Sadly B*th just doesn't have what it takes for our project. She doesn't know git, doesn't know java, doesn't know databases and don't want to learn. "

You forgot to mention the part where AT&T, as a company, refuses to train it's workforce any longer. ( He-l, my group hasn't seen any formal training since ~2005 )

So it should not come as a surprise that you can find few qualified internal employees of any kind. In fact, this was probably done by design.

"5-5-1 offer coming in June."

This is great news.

5-5-1 offer coming in June.

"H1B workers work harder and complain less. "

That's generally true for any new employee. Native born or non-native born.
Our issue is we have a huge number of people who believe it's the companies to spend incessantly on their education and who unreasonable expect us to pay senior level salary for someone now learning python even though we spent 4K on training them python).

Entitlement is the problem, not H1-B.

H1Bs are the next best thing to slave labor because if they get fired they lose their legal resident status. This is who AT&T wants. They don’t want you and all your icky rights.

H1B workers work harder and complain less.

What are you talking about? Trumps tax cuts created lots of high paying jobs.

The main reason I have been seeing for replacing employees are current tech skills. Sadly B*th just doesn't have what it takes for our project. She doesn't know git, doesn't know java, doesn't know databases and don't want to learn. Yet she expects to stick around for another 6 years until she is ready to retire. And we just can't keep paying for here trainings every year with no result.

Before this gets all political, I would just say both parties and all the politicians sold everyone out. I don’t think any one party is better than the other in the regard of this. They vote what their donors tell them to do.

Bring the orange man back to power

Why would Stink want to be different than the rest of the US Corporations? Since 2020, Bidumb has championed the hiring of more foreign workers than US Citizens.
