Amid a major layoff being announced by US companies, a post has gone viral which shows that Microsoft, one of the 10 companies employing foreign labor, sought 14,181 H-1Bs. The post shared the H-1B requirements of other companies, including Amazon, NVIDIA, Cisco, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Apple etc.

Our problem is not cheaper H1-B workers.
Our problem is too much socialism. A country like Singapore is much more prosperous than USA. Every 1 out of 6 Singapore citizen is a millionaire. USA is way far behind that. Do you know why?
Singapore has no food stamps, no rent subsidize and no unemployment benefits. That is why the unemployment rate is close to zero. If you are able bodied adult and not working, you will starve.
This Singapore system is so successful, 1/3 of workers in Singapore are imported workers on work permits, similat to as our H1-B workers, except our number of H1-B work permits are less than 1% of number of total work force.
In a world where idle billionaires take it upon themselves to shove life-threatening medical treatments down our throats and have our skies filled with aluminum and other nasty substances, and in which our once-gleaming cities have become filled with tent cities, I just can't imagine "capitalism" being anything less than perfect. /s
BS. Stop making up stories. Covid vaccines were never MANDATORY. FBI never raided anyone for refusing the vaccine. You just hate Billionaires because you can not be one.
yes, and it kills me to see Trump seek counsel from tech billionaires/executives. far too many of them are crony capitalists.
Best example of successful true capitalism I found was in Singapore, during my travels to 60+ countries.
One out of every 6 Singapore citizens is a millionaire. 33% of workers in Singapore are foreign workers with H1-B type temporary work Visa’s. There is no unemployment checks, no food stamps, and no welfare of any kind to able bodied citizens. Result is unemployment is close to zero. Singapore has prospered much more than USA by practicing real capitalism. Can you imagine 17% of population of a country being millionaires? Not in good old USA.
I have worked in tech for more than 30
Years. The H1B program has been a dead and scam from day 1
Well, first of all, 60 countries is a LOTTA countries! I’m jus’ sayin’!
Second of all, I’m worried about those other 5 Singaporeans ... they might need to revolt!
Seriously, the US, and the Western world, as grown decadent, and we’ve created our own little cesspool to live in. If I was forced to name the cause I would say it’s a p&ss poor education system.
I saw with my own eyes how amazing that country it. It was just an ordinary British colony with majority of people poor. Today there are NO POOR SINGAPORE CITIZENS. All from a real capitalist system with no welfare to able bodied.
If one is lazy, they can starve in Singapore. If one is not lazy, there are solid opportunities to prosper with subsidized STEM education and small business opportunities.
If these H-1B are so bright that they outshine Americans then they should be paid DOUBLE the salary of an American!
Now lets see if Microsoft and others will still say H-1B workers are better then American workers.
They would be shipped back to India so fast...
It is all about the money.
