So what's gonna happen is this poor soul is going to build out some hacked-together junk as quickly as possible, get replaced, and the replacements will have no idea how anything works. Some time down the line, a server isn't going to get a critical update because nobody even knows it exists, and this will all repeat again once the hackers find it. :) Just complete and utter trash.
- AdamN 3y agoIsn't the visa status criterion illegal?
- lovehashbrowns 3y agoI thought maybe it was some regulatory/gaming license sorta deal. But I'm looking at job listings for things like working on casino ATMs, repairing slot machines, and even a job listing for Revenue Auditor where the job description covers auditing slot machine drops, annual casino revenue, etc. None of these have US Citizen as a requirement. Seems very suspect, honestly. But I dunno how these things work on casinos.
- kube-system 3y agoEmployers can require that applicants be a US citizen if it is a requirement to comply with some other law or regulation.
- AdamN 3y agoEmployers are sometimes over-expansive on that allowance: https://btlaw.com/insights/alerts/2023/dojs-suit-against-spacex-the-perils-of-conflating-export-control-and-i9-requirements https://btlaw.com/insights/alerts/2023/dojs-suit-against-spa...

- claudiulodro 3y agoOn the plus side, since they'll have you working 10 hours a day 7 days a week, that's a cool $350k/yr!
