Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Intel.is dead folks. Will be over in a few years

The real DEI that’s ki-ling Intel is the fact that our fabs are staffed by lazy and unskilled veterans that feel entitled to get paid top dollar just to be bad at their jobs. We hire people whose entire resume consists of rotating Humvee tires for a few years and then we wonder why the fabs run like sh-t.

OPT is a Diversity measure that needs to go. Foreigners are given a leg up over Americans with a >10% cost saving incentive, all to drive Diversity and Inclusion in Tech jobs. Beyond OPT internships, then H-1B is a visa that promotes mediocrity. The H-1B is not awarded to the best and brightest, it is a lottery that is not based on meritocracy. There is a genius O-1 visa, but I don't think Intel would be able to get their H-1B migrants to pass the scrutiny of a visa based on merit as they look to H-1B for cheap, inexperienced migrants.

HR2315 needs our support to rid Intel of the environment of mediocrity brought by the DEI hiring scheme of Global Diversity.

Looks like the H1B Troll has created yet another post to rile up all the other trolls.

I have to admit, it is a crowd pleaser.

Troll Harder!

@a3 compound this enough times, and thus you have the downfall of intel. What a shame.

Hiring foreign workers in general isn't point of bill. It's that companies can hire them for ~10% less because they don't pay same taxes on them. They are less expensive through no fault of US Persons

I don't believe OP ever worked for Intel.

Well said... Lay in down for the peeps. Reality

@az We weren't discussing coffee or global poverty. We were discussing the destruction and controlled demolition of one of America's chief national security assets at the hands of non-citizens. Take your globalist kumbaya BS and smug additude back to the welfare office where you belong!

@az Not sure the U.N. is the best mark to aim for. They're a wholly corrupt and toothless organization, known to cherry-pick data that suits their globalist agenda. And yes, globalism is (hopefully) dead. The idea of worldwide communism makes about as much sense as five wolves and one sheep collectively deciding on dinner.

So globalism is dead... we all have to share this planet etc... Logic that defends local-ism is that of a virus. We only have one planet, let's not consume it.

Did you know that by the standards of the UN that around a third of the people on Earth are desperately poor? That means less than $5 a day for a family. So while you are sitting in your air conditioned BMW waiting to complain about how they didn't make your coffee drink right people are dying because they don't have access to basic human needs like water and food.

Enjoy your coffee

I see this alot. A worker gets a bad performance review and won't accept the fact that they are under-performing others on the team so, they start to blame others like H1B people. Very common actually.

What a stupid post. America needs more tech workers then we can graduate and adding foreign workers ensures US companies continue to lead.

As for Intel, there are less then 1.5% of the workers with H1Bs.

So whoever posted this is completely off in the weeds.

Let make colleges affordable to citizens to be able to graduate first. Uneducated citizens are ki-ling Intel left and right.

@aj ... crush them when they do that... nobody needs arrogant chips. BTW, try Lay's they are a whole piece of potato instead of some franken recipe. Still bad for you but a little closer to natural.

@ag Agreed. I hate it when my Pringles go on their unhinged rants.

We need stable chips

@a8 They aren't blaming the foreign workers, they're blaming companies for not hiring qualified U.S. workers first. Why is that such a difficult concept for you?

Signed it

@a8 You're angry because you know it's true. It's called cognitive dissonance.

Signed it !

Propaganda. The company is sinking and so, lets play the blame game and accuse the foreign workers of the demise. Pathetic.

@a5
There is no competing when the hiring manager believes in nepotism.
Citizens have no chance in that scenario.

Stupid post. Stop whining and compete.

@a1 Also, yes the labor market is tight. Which is all the more reason to give Americans the first opportunity IN AMERICAN for those jobs. H1-B wasn't meant for a tight job market, it was meant for situations where the company couldn't find American candidates. The situation we're in is the opposite of that: There are qualified Americans being rejected, while foreign workers are brought in. As a former Intel employee I witnessed this first hand. When we had openings on our team, we would interview candidates for the positions. Despite highly qualified and experienced American candidates being available, and despite the team collectively agreeing they were the best candidates, our Indian manager invariably selected recent college grads from India, having Intel pay to move them and their families to the U.S. This wasn't one or two times, it was every time. The American workers were gradually phased out in favor of inexperienced college grads from India.

@a1 Saying "everyone already knows this" doesn't make your nonsense true. Nobody is saying the problem is foreign workers. What they're saying is the problem is companies abusing the H1-B program, bringing in forgeign workers without first looking to American workers. If the situation were reversed and your country (your contempt for American workers is a dead giveaway that you aren't American) was being flooded with American workers, while citizens of your country were struggling to be hired for the same jobs, I'm sure you'd have a completely different opinion. But instead you fall into the infantile position of "it's the stupid, lazy Americans that are the problem."

The problem isn't foreign workers, the labor market is very tight.

The root cause problem here is that american workers have become lazy and bitter.

This is the result of an entitlement mentality.

Everyone already knows this.
