McDonalds Hires Foreign H-1Bs, Fires 70 American Accounting Staff
Breitbart ^ | 09/18/16 | Neil Munro

Posted on 09/19/2016 1:26:47 AM PDT by Enlightened1

An iconic American company, McDonald’s, has quietly outsourced the jobs of 70 white-collar professionals in Ohio to foreign H-1B workers.

The H-1Bs outsourcing in the nation’s heartland showcases the growing corporate effort to use foreign H-1B workers to cut workforces of American white-collar professionals, and it comes after companies have used waves of legal and illegal migrants to slash blue-collar jobs and wages in Ohio and around the country.

Also, the 70 Ohio jobs that McDonalds outsourced to lower wage foreign graduates are not Silicon Valley technology and software jobs — they’re white-collar accounting jobs performed by graduates from mainstream business schools. That outsourcing of mainstream business jobs spotlights the growing movement of foreign workers into all corners of the nation’s white-collar professional economy.

White-collar outsourcing “is not just a Silicon Valley thing anymore, it is happening all over” the country, said Steve Camarota, head of research at the Center for Immigration Studies.

The outsourcing in Columbus, Ohio, was explained as a cost saving effort by a McDonald’s spokeswoman. “To deliver $500 million in savings, the vast majority by the end of 2017, we are restructuring many aspects of our business, including an accounting function,” said spokeswoman Terri Hickey.

And how does it violate H-1B visa laws?
***********
H1-b’s are only available to fill positions where Americans are not available.

I have yet to see any American, even those who have no other issues with Indians, speak highly of their skills.

It all depends on what Indians you mean. I have seen accounts that 10% are terrific, the rest less so.

That’s the first praise of even 10% that I’ve seen.

McDonald’s was my first real job....had a lot of fun working there....made some good friends and learned a lot.

Don’t go there much anymore, especially since they quit actually cooking their hamburgers...I think they simply heat pre-cooked patties now...just doesn’t taste the same.

Won’t be going anymore. I’m done with the clown. Shame.

So who do they think’s gonna buy their hamburgers is nobody has jobs??????

Imported Muslims, and Mexicans.

There is a literal war here by the leadership of the West to supplant their own white population, with more pliable and obedient foreigners.

They are literally too pig-fornicatingly STUPID to realize, that when the foreigners gain a plurality, they will vote out the current politicians in favor of their own: as happened recently in Minneapolis when 20+ term MN House of Representatives Phyllis Khan (DFL) was voted out in favor of ...well, I can't recall the name, but I believe it was someone from "LIttle Mogadishu" near the University of Minnesota...

Flockov, troll.

Microsoft had a one-time dividend distribution of $57 BILLION. All in cash.

If they had invested that in State T-bills, they'd have earned a couple billion a year in interest AFTER taxes.

All without affecting the principal, and without affecting cash flow from continuing operations.

They could have replaced every single H1-B with an American programmer at full price without even exhausting the interest.

It is a combination of greed to an extent that makes the robber barons of the 1800s look charitable, and a hatred of white males.

If we want companies to hire Americans again, then WE have to make it profitable to do so by buying the products of those who do.

This is part of a long-planned strategy by the Davos/Bilderberger type crowds to destroy the West.

The first step was to hollow out the Western economies, and transfer the hard raw materials/manufacturing overseas -- ostensibly to "free up money" and make better paying jobs available, by moving into higher-margin functions.

The next step, was to import hordes of Third Worlders to hollow out the Middle Class; and to destroy the Middle Class through the hammer and anvil of debt (college / housing / inflation) and no jobs.

The last step which they were about to execute, was to allow in hordes of jihadists while making any criticism of Islam a crime. This is still going on in Sweden, Germany, and Canada.

The steps are not all sequential, by the way, but may be done in parallel or as substitutes one for another.

If we were going to be tin foil minded enough, we might even say this is part of a demonic scheme to discourage family ties (since globe trotting like this is hard on families).

It is but one element in a multi-pronged strategy.

Look at all the propaganda telling women to work until 28-30 before even considering marriage; and look at the number of sexual partners most career women have before settling down. The risk of divorce doubles once a woman has had two or more prior sexual partners before marriage.

They wouldn't need $500 million in savings if they cut management, and corporate executive bonuses and perks; and maybe brought in new business.

Fast food used to be a rare treat for families; then it became the nutritional equivalent of putting kids in front of the TV for hours, or warehousing them in day care, while Mommy pursues her "Strong Independent Womyn" fantasy at her childrens' expense; but the birth rate in the US is plummeting, and old people who have lived on fast food are a self-limiting demographic.

Most modern corporations are fungi and parasitic invaders on the body politic and the culture.

And oh the stories I could tell you about the incompetent consultants I’ve had to deal with over the years, and of incompetent CPA firms and of the degreed accounting folks - people with MBA’s who couldn’t even do even the simplest of journal entries and didn’t have the first clue as to payroll or payroll taxes. Heck I’ve even had HR directors who are pretty clueless on PR compliance.

Tell me again how the 1950s sucked so bad.

Because #Diversity. Some people cannot be fired even if they cost the company millions, because #Lawsuits. And #Snowflake.
