Pretty sure if you trained on those consultants the AI would recommend firing top performers to send a message then cut pay of everyone else. Rinse and repeat every couple of years.

Exactly! Do they not realize they all sat around (poorly) administrating systems like h1b that have caused millions of us to be laid off with no notice or reason. I can't imagine crying on linkedin like some of these .gov workers showi

They want the 10 year down to zero again. The only way it goes there is to force a recession. There is no other way to do it fast enough to blame the recession on previous administration than to up the unemployment rate fast.

Standardized plus the ability for companies to do their own test after they pass the standard one. So go get prescreened at test center then use that test to apply for jobs. Company either flys you in for in-person or sends you back to test
