I was under the impression that your idea would more naturally fix the problem of some H1B holders being underpaid and preferred over citizens/PRs. It seems like you actually meant it to be punitive targeting any company that uses H1Bs.
- bsder 7y agoIt's a bit of both--frontend and backend. Part of it is do you REALLY need that H1-B in preference to a domestic worker since any layoff you incur will block your access to that pipeline for the next (n) years. That is a calculation at hiring--aka frontend. Then, once you have employed an H1-B, you're going to have some reticence to pull the layoff lever as that will now block your H1-B pipeline. That is a calculation at layoff--aka backend. If your H1-B's are actually, genuinely valuable, the calculations are a business decision. If, however, you are using H1-B's to displace workers and then lay them off, that's going to grind to a halt really quickly.
