On Tuesday, Hot Air<\/a> posted an article about some employee changes in big tech.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Another sort of talking out-of-one-side-of-the-mouth while doing something entirely different example today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been keeping abreast of the lay-offs in the tech sector here as part of our watching the Biden economy teeter and totter precipitously, and there has been quite an adjustment in those overall numbers<\/a> since last fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The employees that are retained are dealing with a vastly rejiggered cultural landscape as far as the perks, expectations, work from home, and general employment indulgences that were an ingrained part of their jobs for decades. Suck it up and tighten that belt if you want to stay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In one example of shifting business practices in \u201csubdued\u201d times, Microsoft is still paying people, but they\u2019ve announced they won\u2019t be handing out annual raises<\/a> this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heartbreaking? Oh, those poor companies are struggling. Wait. Not so fast.<\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

Based on data the government just put out, it seems Google, Meta, Zoom \u2013 shoot, they all<\/em> went on a hiring spree last month for visa recipients. It\u2019s a schweet workaround<\/a> for tech firms, big and small.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026The top 30 H-1B employers hired more than 34,000 new H-1B workers in 2022 and laid off 85,000 employees<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Of course, if you\u2019re already a visa worker and included in the lay-offs, you\u2019re screwed. You have 60 days to find a new gig or you\u2019re supposed to leave\/be deported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather a kick-in-the-teeth for the American techs they could have rehired who might well have been willing to work for less as their severances packages eroded or were already gone, if they got one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how the visa game is played, ladies and germs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is how our government subsidizes corporations while giving Americans a raw deal. The practice of laying off Americans and employing foreign workers needs to end. We encourage our children in STEM studies then undercut them in their search for jobs. That is not a good business model.<\/p>\n
