H-1B Contractor Hiring Practices

We would like to raise concerns about our department’s recent fast-track hiring of contingent workers—specifically contractors on H-1B visas sourced through "1nf0$y$." Many of these individuals appear to have limited qualifications. While some possess basic knowledge of business analysis, they lack the technological expertise required to perform the core functions of their roles. It’s unclear how they were approved to work at a Fortune 500 company, given the apparent skill gaps. Internal sources suggest that some of these contractors are personal acquaintances of an Indian Executive Director who is married to an American citizen also another Executive Director in the same department may be influencing leadership decisions to favor these hires. There is concern that these individuals could be receiving a commission or financial incentive for each contractor brought onboard.

In a recent meeting, both the Executive Director stated that leadership intends to increase contractor hiring as a cost-saving measure, citing the company’s reluctance to offer benefits to American employees. This strategy seems to conflict with current federal policy, particularly the new Executive Order on H-1B visas.

Under this order, the application fee for H-1B visas has increased from $215 to $100,000 per year, potentially totaling $300,000 for a 3-year term. According to Commerce Secretary Howard L., the intent is to discourage companies from relying on foreign labor and instead invest in training and hiring American workers.

Given this directive, are we as a company prepared to absorb the financial and ethical implications of continuing to hire H-1B contractors under these new terms? We believe this warrants further discussion to ensure our practices align with both federal policy and our company’s values.

Our contracting firms use H1b to save 25%. This new fee destroys Nike’s contracting model. Leadership will probably try offshoring more but those individuals juggle 3 jobs concurrently and don’t do any real work.

Things have been falling apart the last few years and it’s only going to get worse. This is going to be such a dumpster fire.

Lenovo took down internal job postings for H1Bs

After the DOJ encouraged people to report employers who were targeting foreign employees Lenovo took down many job postings for visa holders only. I remember seeing many posts where you couldn’t click apply because they were reserved for foreign workers. Also at the building 8 entrance in RTP they would print and tape jobs that were for foreign workers only on the door.
