Confused arguments. H1B visa holders are not “off shore”. They live and pay taxes in the USA. The big tech companies are hungry for talent and compete world-wide to hire the best. It is not about shafting older US engineers. The AI angle may be a distraction they use but the main argument in this article is likely to be just wrong.

- throwawayoldie 1y agoThat's bullshit. It's about having talent they can exploit under the threat of losing their visa.
- robwwilliams 1y agoNo it is not. At least not a Microsoft which was flagged in the piece we are talking about, right?
