Say goodbye to the jeets who took your job

Now that it will cost $100k per year to sponsor an h1b, how do you think this impacts our fellow foreigners working at broadcom?

Are they cooked, finished or?

Looks like the cost of a H1B Visa may be going from $1,000 to $100,000. Walmart may have entered the FO part of FAFO. Those Q3 budget talks going to be crazy.

Our contracting firms use H1b to save 25%. This new fee destroys Nike’s contracting model. Leadership will probably try offshoring more but those individuals juggle 3 jobs concurrently and don’t do any real work.

Things have been falling apart the last few years and it’s only going to get worse. This is going to be such a dumpster fire.

Finally someone I. Government is catching on to this back door theft of American jobs.

How many workers does Exxon have in the USA on H1B visas?

This is going to have an impact. Get ready Canada and other HC10 locations.

How will the company survive?

This could be great for the USA

This is gonna bankrupt dell.

EO signed today is indeed for 100K fees to Govt per year per employee, on top of the salary they pay their H1B employees.

Trump imposes $100K fee on H-1B visas in new immigration action. India Times.

Trump has raised the h1b fee to 100k each. Used to be $781.00. Guess Dst and SSNC will not longer get cheap labor
They will have to hire Americans again

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump is expected to sign a proclamation as soon as Friday that would move to extensively overhaul the H-1B visa program, requiring a $100,000 fee for applications in a bid to curb overuse, according to a White House official familiar with the matter.

Interesting development

Let’s hope this is good news and human oriented changes will begin soon.

Looks like KOS is not so happy. I think there will be changes coming. I hope they do not mess around too much with R&D!

A mandatory shift bid, AI, moving people’s roles, changing up departments (Which can often be a sign of layoffs creeping up), and changing metrics? Some of this helps, but I feel as if these changes are being implemented to make a lot of people voluntarily leave to avoid layoffs. It smells of constructive dismissal/discharge in some form. Maybe I’m wrong. This job has had its pros and cons. I’m sorry to those of you who have to endure whatever Wayfair throws.

ETA is in 2 weeks. Hold on there cowboys

I have been hearing things about changes that will be affecting Accounting Department - do you hear anything?

Long story short, there is going to be significant changes, at least the mail suggested that, anyone's got any clue??

Destroyed our great Company !

About Oracle Corp.:
The Oracle Corporation is a large global computer technology company with the main office located in Redwood City, California. ???

Austin, TX soon to be somewhere in Pigs Knuckle. TN

Where did the people go that left adidas as part of the 500 job cuts ? ON? NEW Balance ?

The sad thing is, despite the reorg, nothing will change. We need a bigger shakeup at the top if we want to right this ship. A much bigger shakeup.

AS of 3rd September Appointment of Stephen Tulenko as Chief Executive Officer. AJ to stay on in an advisory role for now...

For decades Nike was about growth, optimism and building greatness which drove culture and results. Now it is a place where people are fighting to survive and make decisions out of fear. Much different, and won't work ever.

Hearing in early September some drastic benefits changes will be announced. Including reduced 401K match & changes in PTO allowances. Big bummer as the 401K match is truly the only executional benefit we receive.

What’s been your experience with the job search lately? I’ve been looking for months, and honestly, I’m open to creative ideas and stepping well outside my comfort zone. I won’t go into praising or bashing Ford. I’m just personally burned out after years here that led nowhere. On top of that, I’m flat-out bored with my job. Maybe it’s not the best timing for a change, but I need one badly.

Writing up employees and managers left and right. Adding more and more responsibilities on all. Constant changes with no training or notice of the change. Constant emails of impending changes. Constant meetings, messages, sxs, 1 on 1. More and more coming everyday. And they are starting to drop like flies. SF is shaking the tree before the big reorganization.

With the CEO stepping down, it’s hard not to feel uncertain about what’s next. Whoever takes over is likely to bring major changes. And we all know that frontline employees are usually the first to feel the impact of any reorganization or cuts. The economy’s slipping, the job market isn’t great, and many of us are already stretched thin, both financially and emotionally. A little stability would go a long way in easing the pressure we’ve all been feeling. But right now, it’s hard to see where that might come from.

Hi All,
I was impacted by Layoff recently and got offer from Micron Folsom (HBM) and another competing memory company (WD/SD) in Bay Area recently for mid engineer level role. I am looking for views on how the Micron work culture/yearly performance refresher talks is as I heard about the extremely competitive bell curve based performance review few years ago (is it still present?).
Also, how do you feel is the stability right now for atleast next 2-4 years as I have been recently impacted and wouldn’t want to go through same again, need some stability from personal life perspective.
Thank you!

Did anyone else find the SH session on the Change Stream demotivating today? Apparently all of our products are currently horrible and difficult for our sales people to understand and sell, then why are we beating all forecasts for WL and PL? Only the Change steam will save us now. Also, what a great idea for everyone to stretch and do 120%, what genius! Glad Covid and dealing with kids forced back into homeschooling is no longer a concern (it is). It was pretty slick to say we actually increased headcount in 2021, when we fired across US and UK only to hire in low cost countries like India and now Mexico. Not sure if anyone else caught it, but I heard they aren't sure about Costa Rica. Translation, if you work in Costa Rica TR you won't for much longer. I could go on and on about McKinsey, Facebook, Amazon and the Digital/Change experienced know nothing hires, but I better grab a glass of wine and relax.
