I get it. I understand that it is hard for a big company to avoid thinking and optimizing for all the costs associated with older employees versus a younger employee, especially H1Bs.
But, why not use the pulpit that comes with tech prestige (is it now all gone?) to lobby for universal healthcare, and other ways to socialize those costs? If things like healthcare and a sane social security system were in place, wouldn't that even the playing field and be a win for everyone? I'm surprised I don't see more US companies arguing for changes that would help them.
- AdrianB1 6y agoI read recently that a survey showed most people don't want companies to get into politics. Not sure how true is what I read, but the numbers were around 82% of the respondents being against political activism from companies. Others can argue that socialized healthcare is not as good as one may believe, knowing the problems in Quebec region, UK or other Western Europe countries where access to the services is free, but highly unavailable (wait times measured in many months).
