What percent of laid of employees do you think are H1Bs?

0

  • Do you have anything but prejudice to support that, or..?

    • When tech companies lay off large amounts of workers like this, they often immediately replace them with H1Bs. These layoffs are almost always cost-cutting measures, not caused by lack of work - the work is still there and still has to be done, they just don't want to pay expensive white people to do it.

      It makes no sense to lay off H1Bs only to immediately re-hire them afterwards.
