It’s very difficult to get a job in Silicon Valley if you are an older white male.
They layoff older white men. They just may lay off older US citizens, but most of those are white.
My husband and co-workers have been victims.
The IT field has been wiped out for American citizens, especially whites.
Another factor is the anti-American bigotry many of these Indians have now they are in charge of the hiring process.
They will only hire Indians and refuse to do interviews with non-Indians.
100% correct. Age discrimination is rampant in silicon valley. And now we have reports that google has placed a hiring freeze on whites and Asians. I also personally know of people who have been fired from high level IT jobs because they were the only white person (the remaining 3 dozen were Indian origin). Imagine if this happened to an African American. Would be lawsuit city with the EEOC down your throat.
As for 1.5% attrition that is virtually impossible to attain even for the highly sought jobs at FANG companies and highest rated companies on GlassDoor. Just not possible unless of course you hire all H1Bs who are literally tied to the employer LOL.
