Amid H-1B tensions, two companies, T-Mobile and Molson Coors, have announced their newly elected CEOs—both of Indian origin. T-Mobile appointed Srinivasan Gopalan, and Molson Coors appointed Rahul Goyal as the next CEO.

“T-Mobile today announced that it has named current Chief Operating Officer Srini Gopalan as T-Mobile’s next Chief Executive Officer, effective November 1, 2025. Gopalan will assume the role from Mike Sievert, who has been appointed to a newly created management position at T-Mobile, Vice Chairman,” T-Mobile wrote in a statement.

In a LinkedIn post, Gopalan shared that he is “deeply honoured” to take on the role of CEO. Based in Bellevue, Washington, Gopalan completed his schooling at Delhi Public School, RK Puram. He then attended the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad for higher studies.

I don’t get it. Unless they are legitimately qualified?

And just like that, there were no Ukraine posts any more.

Qualified?

H1B diploma mill.

T-Mobile is crap, at least around here. Guess we know why now.

[escapefromboston]

Srinivasan still has to answer to Deutsche Telekom.

Of course, "over last March-us" has moved on. Here's an interesting observation about the whole H1-B news in the moment.

( Circa 400 thousand H1-B visas / 342 million population of US ) x 100 [ to express as percentage ] = 0.117 % H1-B as a percentage of US population

( Circa 400 thousand H1-B visas / 159.54 million total nonfarm jobs ) x 100 [ to express as percentage ] = 0.25 % H1-B as a percentage of total nonfarm jobs

Seems quite fine to charge big bucks for these visas, if and as President Trump is doing. Would also be quite fine to repeat the users / abusers of the B1-B program so as not to loose track of which companies are "in the spotlight."

Nice chart!

It would only make sense for Coors if they made an IPA.

[marcusmaximus]

Lol!

HmMm... I have the paperwork on the table to switch over to T-Mobile this week.

Going in the trash today.

It is a plan, and our corrupt and incompetent and traitorous leaders are falling for it.

If they started as H-1’s, then they’re very likely illegal aliens if they never left and re-entered under legal processes. If they’re not, then this isn’t an issue.
