IBM is notorious for both offshoring jobs to places like India and also heavily abusing the H1B visa, both themselves and through body-shops like Wipro and Infosys. They have more employees in India than in the US. IBM once told its laid off US employees that if they wanted to keep their jobs, they should move to India and take the prevailing wage there: "It's more of a vehicle for people who want to expand their life experience by working somewhere else..." This is when their CEO made $20M last year. I think any company that is currently laying off US employees should immediately have all their H1B, L1, etc. visas revoked and use banned for the next decade. This would be trivial to implement, especially in states like California where the company is required to notify the state before layoffs. I also have absolutely no faith that Redhat won't turn into a shell of itself eventually - all the US and EU R&D moved to India, replaced by sales and lawyers using Oracle's business model. * https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/28/technology/ibm-india.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/28/technology/ibm-india.html * https://www.businessinsider.com/2009/2/ibm-to-north-american-employees-to-keep-your-job-move-to-india-ibm?op=1 https://www.businessinsider.com/2009/2/ibm-to-north-american...
