[I want the USA back]

IBM has joined most other big IT employers in denying jobs to Americans. Go they can go to hell.

Yet, the evening news last night said we were at 100% full employment so 0% unemployed.

Anyone wanna buy a bridge?

I’m seeing a pattern, where supposed USA corporations are hiring a bunch of foreign workers, and then laying off a similar same number of their USA workers.

Is that as simple as it seems: replacing USA workers with cheaper foreign workers? If they are truly USA corporations, wouldn’t they be replacing USA workers with a new batch of USA workers? It seems like USA corporations, like USG do not care about USA citizens anymore, but have some other agenda; a global mindset; specifically and deliberately non-USA.

Virginia Rometty, IBM’s CEO, got a $4.5 million bonus for 2015, in addition to $1.6 million in base salary. In addition Rometty got $13.3 million in stock awards, those will be paid out in three years

Paid a lot of money but at least not a hundred million a year.
Almost a reasonable amount compared to some companies.
