Too bad.

[Bobbyvotes]

Microsoft, Google, Amazon are applying for more H1-B workers.

"This is the first time I’ve been laid off and it just truly…sucks,”

Well, a lot of Americans know how it feels -- because we were laid off when the companies hired you guys.

[Night Hides Not]

Bring out the violins. My empathy meter is stuck on zero.

[Night Hides Not]

Not only that, but we had to train our replacements, which added insult to injury.

Learn to Call Center.

“because we were laid off when the companies hired you guys”

And they all laughed and said “suck it up buttercup, they like us better”

Payback

[FLT-bird]

How many Americans has that happened to so the company could hire more cheap H1B Indians?

[GingisK]

Not only that, but we had to train our replacements

I surely did not. I changed my notice period to zero minutes and hit the trail.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I'll take "things that never happened for $1000" Alex!

[Big Red Badger]

It’s Real Life....
Keep That Resume’ handy!

My Best jobs came after
a Nasty ‘Adiós. Muchacho!’

[grcuster]

No sympathy. Saw this happening within the telecommunication industry as they let go the American worker after they trained their replacements from TATA.

that’s a shame, vishnoo willing

[Ben Dover]

Press or say one for “Too Bad”
Press or say two for “So Sad”

[SharpRightTurn]

I’m all tears.

Sanjay here doesn’t say whether he shed any tears or otherwise got emotionally worked up when he replaced an American worker by working for lower wages, putting the American in the unemployment line.

Bon voyage, Sanjay.

[Skywise]

Yeah - this has all the whiff of a manufactured campaign.

Or, plot twist, the COO is Indian of the elite caste and is sacking all the indians of sub-caste...

[rellic]

I worked at Boeing for over twenty years.
It was common practice to layoff people
on a Friday at the end of the work day.
They didn’t want people screwing up airplanes
as a frustration at an upcoming layoff.
I was never laid off from Boeing, my brother was,
he spend a year or so in another profession
and was recalled to Being.
He is a thirty year retiree now.
