We can outsource physical labor, now we can outsource intellectual labor. Fly em in, give them the lowest wage they’ll accept, threaten with deportation if they fall out of line. This is the kind of deal these companies are really looking to exploit – they save money trimming their higher-paid talent while replacing them with someone being paid far less. It’s a win-win for the corps
Yup. This is quiet firing. Companies are trimming payroll in preparation for the Trump economy.
It’s a dumb short term move though. The employees you’re going to lose are your top performers.
I remember this being panel two in a Dilbert strip (from back in the days when Adams did a great job of presenting as sane.)
Back when Dilbert was the main character, before Adams turned into the PHB.
Ehhh H1B is panacea–just you wait and see! 🤡

Capitalists only ever care about next quarter.
