it enables age discrimination. intel fires older workers while hiring young college graduates.
Because H1B folks are literally held hostage by Intel while their sponsorship goes through. US citizens can leave any time and find a better job elsewhere. And the good ones either avoid Intel or leave shortly thereafter.
BK has a phobia about hiring us citizens?
2eae, you do know Universities and Colleges are a bastion for Unions. 99.9% of the professors are liberal and registered Democrats. You will never get them to stop teaching their Saul Alinsky Marxism ways for 1/2 the price. I would argue a college degree isn't really worth much. I would rather see On The Job (OJT) provided to youth while working at companies and corporations. Far cheaper, easier to train others to do the job you need them to do WITHOUT the added liberal basket of Snowflake feelings hurt, don't know which bathroom to use, I hate White Males, and all men are pigs. That's competition Universities don't want. You want to do the great thing for younger or unemployed, give them a job and train them your way...the right way!
@1cco is right. We need college cost regulation in the worst way. Halve the price immediately, disallow increases for a decade. Then costs will start to be reasonable, and loans will start to be affordable again.
ask your manager why when he gives you the pink slip
There are SOOO many reasons. For example, anyone who graduates from a US college has a TON of debt and no they need to work somewhere where they can earn enough to live. Another reason is because US colleges are expensive and the debt for graduates is so high, there is simply not enough US based graduates anymore who are gambling their futures by taking the STEM based degrees. Also consider that Intel and other companies like Intel are considered India friendly and get a ton of resume's from India graduates all wanting to work with their compatriots. Finally, for a US based university student, working at Intel is not their first, or even second, third or fourth choice. All they ever hear of is how they will be laid off within 5 years.
A new masters degree in engineering H1B will at least work 40 hours a week and achieve twice as much as a grade7+ US citizen engineer who has been with Intel for 10+ years and wants to do bare minimum to get by and has lousy work ethics. You cannot protect such senior engineers for too long at focal. Most os the resumes received for reqs at lower grade levels are H1B foreign workers.
Because they can.
This whole H1B thing is a lie and big abuse to keep wages low. Those of us who have seen the hiring, only maybe 5 to 10% are the deserving candifdates. Rest is a fraud. Hope Trump puts an end to this fraud.
pretty obvious. cost. Why are we still on this age old answered question. Where it's cheap opex goes there. simple as that.
So incompetent people are being laid off while competent people are being hired. What‘s your problem?
Do you want Intel to hire people based on merit or based on nationality?
Because every other company in the valley is doing it.
I like how you posed this in Qcom's page too
