At Dell, this is status quo.
People are a disposable commodity, use them, abuse them, then manufacture a reason to justify firing them - by the thousands. If you look at the makeup of the Dell personnel, you will see a significant number of non-Americans there. India, China, Pakistan, Scotland and other countries are significantly higher than in other competitive companies.
Why? Because when their Visa expires, Dell may start a design shop in that country and they have American trained employees ready to start that effort; taking jobs from entire departments in America with them.
Dell simply uses American tax advantages to gain a foothold to expand. They have no loyalty to America or Americans whatsoever. All you have to do is look at how they treat their employees, to get a clue. The number of unnecessary layoffs in America is staggering.
There are very, very few corporations in the U.S. where that is not status quo.
