BECAUSE THE ECONOMY IS AWFUL AND NOBODY IS HIRING

It’s interesting to see hiring leaders into high-level roles with fully remote. Is this acceptable?

Are they really looking to hire internally or is that fake job postings? I saw one I liked but I feel like internal hires might be blown off.

Great news to share! Finance is hiring, not firing. We’re investing in what matters most - people!

Sit up straight and take note: The key highlight from the Raytheon Global Town Hall is Raytheon is hiring and hiring bodies -including your kids, grand kids, neighborhood friends and family members, the local bartender, the bagger at the grocery store, kids at the carwash, telemarketers... there is no need to have any experience as one can make a career at Raytheon attending meetings or training without the expectation of performing any work. Even those with a tepid pulse whose only skill is to occupy a chair need apply as Raytheon is anxiously awaiting your arrival with open arms.

I'm tired of hearing the same lazy narrative that Indian H1B IT professionals are "stealing jobs."

Let's settle a few things.

Indian IT professionals didn't invent the global labor market. Companies did.

If an employer in the U.S. hires someone from India, it's because they believe that person delivers better value , not because someone stole a seat at the table.

Many Indian engineers work 12–16 hour days, often across multiple time zones, while being paid significantly less than their counterparts in the West. That isn't exploitation by Indian workers; it's a business decision made by the companies doing the hiring. Or Companies wisely hiring 6 people in India instead of 1 person in west for same budget.

So here's my question: Why do some people assume they're entitled to earn five or six times more simply because they were born in a different country? In a capitalist market, compensation follows perceived value, skills, demand, and business economics—not nationality.

Another claim I constantly see is that Indians are somehow less capable. Yet if you look across the global technology industry, you'll find Indian-origin leaders running some of the world's most influential companies. That didn't happen because of charity. It happened because they proved themselves.

No one is forcing companies to hire Indian engineers. No one is forcing founders or executives to build engineering teams in Hyderabad or Bengaluru. Those decisions are made because businesses believe they're getting exceptional talent and results.

If you believe someone is taking your job, perhaps the better question isn't "Why did they hire them?" but "Why did they choose them over me?"

That's how competition works.

You don't have to like globalization. You don't have to like outsourcing. But blaming individual engineers who accepted opportunities offered to them misses the point entirely.

If you disagree, explain why. I'm interested in arguments based on facts and economics—not stereotypes.

Someone should investigate this workplace for immigration fraud, displacing American workers, Caste system, Contractor/Body shops fraud.

Please report with all evidences to the Department of Labor.

Someone please spill the beans!

We used to have no trouble filling open roles. Now we can't seem to find anyone. Is this happening elsewhere too?

Layoffs are happening, but so is hiring. Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose? And it's a slap in the face to the people who were let go.

I've been trying to get ahead of things by sending out some feelers, and all I've managed to do is make myself anxious and depressed. Nobody seems to be hiring, and those who are keep making lowball offers. Is anybody hiring right now who actually knows how to recognize the value of potential employees?

I see loads of job openings online (linkedIn, Baker careers etc.) but notice that many have been open for months on end and keep being reposted or duplicated? Whats the deal? Theres no way we have that many actual vacancies from what I can tell. Why keep advertising these same jobs over and over but not filling them?

The U.S. job market is experiencing a paradox of low layoffs alongside a significant hiring slowdown. Artificial intelligence is increasingly impacting entry-level positions, demanding higher skill levels from candidates. This trend is widening the gap between available jobs and qualified applicants, particularly for recent graduates. Simultaneously, demand for skilled trades and AI-proficient workers is surging, creating labor shortages in specific sectors. Consequently, wages and employment opportunities are becoming more dependent on productivity and specialized skills.

Job market tough enough, most people taking vacations over summer so hiring is slow and then we heading into fall and EOY holidays where traditionally no hiring due to budget cycles …. Jeeez

Don't be fooled by the lie "career is one designed to last". More positions are being moved to low-cost centers in India and Malaysia. As an experienced hire, you will be treated as an outsider and your experience won't be valued here. You will be ranked with your supervisor, department managers, and those who have been in the company for 10+ years. They need you to fill forced low buckets. You will probably be fine in the first year, but they will take credit for your work, gang up on you, marginalize you, and put you in the NSI/PIP bucket for made-up nonsense reasons most likely in 2 or 3 years. As many others mentioned in their posts, PIP is designed to fail especially for experienced hires. But your supervisor won't mind humiliating you again in the PIP process and squeezing the last drop out of you before you are terminated. Don't trust anyone here as they will backstab you whenever they need to keep their good rankings. If you still have a job now, keep it and don't switch to this toxic hellhole. If you have to take this job for any reasons, keep looking for a new one.

Why BofA is hiring contractors in such huge numbers? Is it just usual business or something big is going to happen.

Anyone else see the recently posted engineering positions in limerick Ireland? It looks like they are targeting fresh graduates. I have a few problems with this:

1. Weren’t all international operations sold to BT?

2. Why Ireland when our network is based in the United States?

3. These would be good positions for associates looking to move into engineering. Why are they looking outside the company when people inside the company would want these jobs.

Hiring process also starts soon. Who develops architecture demand convert into real software . I not believe AI do that

Thomson Reuters is planning to reduce its workforce by up to 500 engineering positions. This move affects approximately 5.2% of its operations and technology unit employees. The company is increasing its use of artificial intelligence across its various business segments. A spokesperson stated that affected employees are being supported during this transition. Thomson Reuters also anticipates hiring over 250 net-new engineering roles globally in the next two years.

Tom & Jerry's is holding hiring events for former Beef-a-Roo employees. The locally owned restaurant wants to offer these workers a chance to join their team. They are accepting applications and conducting interviews at all four area locations. Owner Bob Grottke expressed a commitment to hiring qualified candidates quickly. This initiative aims to support those impacted by the recent Beef-a-Roo layoffs.

How many new team members you welcomed into the team today?

A new guy joined my team. I guess we will be invited to one of local indian restaurants soon for a welcome lunch.

How can they lay off AMs, while turning around and immediately adding new AMs?

It seems like what might be really happening is CDW is trying to re-set the payroll with lower paid employees and foregoing the experience, expertise and customer relationships of AMs who were paid more competitively.

I’m sure that’s also happening in other departments.

What could go wrong?🤦🏻‍♂️

I created a side Staples Account on the Career sight and applied for the same job with the same resume but with a different name and got and interview….with the alt account. The other real account was denied. I was tops in every category. Yes, my people I still know told me there was a black listed of former employees. We just proved it.

Never work for this unethical company…. Unethical hiring practices are a thing at Staples. You asked for it.

I left Target HQ 3 years ago and really want to come back. Does Target generally hire previous employees if they left on good terms? Do you have an advantage in the hiring process?

Daimler Truck North America will recall 400 workers and hire an additional 200 at its Mount Holly, North Carolina facility by the end of 2026. This expansion is part of a plan to introduce a second shift at the Freightliner truck manufacturing plant. The move reflects a rebound in the freight market, evidenced by significant increases in Class 8 truck orders. DTNA is closely monitoring demand trends as it implements these staffing changes.

Months ago we heard Walmart planned 3000+ H1B hires. Then, the Trump administration attached a $100,000 fee for bringing in a foreign H1B employee to replace a US based associate. After that, Walmart walked back their H1B plans.

Now, a federal judge has ruled the fee is illegal. Does that mean we’ll see Walmart dump a ton more US based associates and bring in foreign H1B workers to take those jobs? If I had to guess, I’d say, yes- they probably will.

Based on my experience, I would encourage candidates to do thorough research before accepting a position. During my interactions with the company, I came away with concerns about leadership, the hiring process, and the organization’s direction. The interview process felt disorganized and left me with little confidence in how the company was being managed. Given the recent layoffs, I would carefully consider the stability of the role before making a decision.

we have to hire at a career fair, without hours, put the new hires on payroll and not schedule them. what is happening here?

May be July 15–16 could mark the start of Verizon hiring. Good news may be coming soon—stay tuned!

I heard about someone getting an offer rescinded a week after they accepted it, no explanation given. Is that something that actually happens here often? How are supposed to backfill any positions if this is how candidates are treated?

Were there any layoffs in operations/configs? Are they even ever going to hire on new contractors? I've known contractors that have been here for 2-3 years.....

Too much brain drain in US? So counter-intuitive to All In Dia approach.

Any one seen the trend ?

I recently came across a job posting for a receptionist position that required a bachelor's degree. Why in the world would that ever be a thing?

Just wondering if anyone has been re-hired after accepting the VRSP last year.

Ramp conducted a new study on AI adoption. The research focused on companies' spending habits. It revealed that high AI investment leads to more hiring. Companies are expanding their workforces, not reducing them. This finding challenges the perception of AI causing job cuts.

I’ve seen some RTM jobs listed on job sites. Who’s to say that they’re not going to hire from the outside!? Think about it, they could save a lot of money that way.
I hope they hire from within the company.
