Intel Proves it is Lying When it Says it Needs H1-Bs, as it Lays Off 12k Workers.

[JimBowie1958]

The fact is that with nearly 3 million STEM degreed AMERICANS STILL NOT WORKING these tech giants do not need more H1-Bs, as they could easily train these people to do these jobs. But to demand H1-Bs as it lays off more workers just proves that is is a corporation that places stupid greed above all else.

Intel Lays Off 12,000 People After Lobbying For More Foreign Workers

One of the top users of foreign workers imported via the H-1B visa program announced Tuesday it’s laying off about ten percent of its global workforce.

Tech giant Intel is laying off some 12,000 workers, although it’s one of the country’s 15 largest users of H-1Bs, which are temporary visas that allow companies to hire foreign workers for American tech jobs. The big-time layoffs come even as the company has called for hikes in the number of foreign workers it is able to hire using H-1B visas.

The chip-making giant said the mass firings are part of a “restructuring initiative” that will further its shift away from the PC business toward smart devices and cloud-based computing.

But the firings stand out in light of Intel’s lobbying to expand the H-1B visa program. In 2013, the company’s government affairs managers complained that Intel simply can’t find enough homegrown workers in technical fields to meet its needs. And in 2014, the company called for allowing the spouses and children of H-1B recipients to automatically qualify for work in the U.S. as well.

I know some guys that work for Intel. It's a pretty brutal company as tech companies go. With other tech companies looking for talent, we'll see how this strategy works. I tend to think it will backfire and Intel will continue it's decline. The CEO is an arrogant jerk.

USA.INC owns majority shares in Intel.......cheap labor only improves their bottom line. People have got to wake the fuck up.

Cheap labor only improves Intel's bottom line in the short run, but undermines the public's confidence in the quality of their product in the long term. I dont buy their crap any more and fewer and fewer people do each year.
