They are in the clear now to cut their cost (laying off those overpaid Americans), with top cover.
The next five/six years will be fascinating.
Lots of folks are going to get displaced.

Wow man you dont even get this upset in travel ball threads.
A lot of wealthy people that save billions of dollars by employing H1B Indians (as opposed to American labor) paid a lot of money to the current administration to be able to do whats happening right now. Moving off costly American labor to cheaper offshore labor.
Remember when Elon Musk said he would move it all if he couldnt have (unfettered) H!B labor?
I hope this isnt a shock (looks like it could be).

Big Red, Halliburton, is slicing lots of upper middle management right now also.
Yeah, this seems to be more white collar than blue collar right now. I think its due to tech advances for one.

The fact that in an “at will” state I can’t look at any employee and say “I no longer have the will to employ you, you’re fired” is complete bull shite.
At will should mean just that. At. Will.
You absolutely can. Now that might not be your companies policy, but your scenario is actually a legit way to fire someone.
The problem people run into is they start trying to give "reasons" they fired someone Those start to get picked apart and cause issues.
Your HR department probably wont let you just fire someone because they are worried about protected classes. You can likely win most of those, but it doesn't mean you aren't still sued and out a bunch of money.

There will be more Indians in India, working for US oil companies than Americans in America in the next 2-3yrs.
Totally agree. My company is an engineering consulting company dealing with various operators. The big ones all push to use lower wage resources from India and Columbia. We have lost all but one document controller/admin because of this development.

This is weird. Because the story isn't that Trump is somehow beholden/gracious to offshoring labor in an unprecedented way, it's that he's out of step with his movement/base on it.
Your argument is essentially "sure, everyone I support politically supports unfettered immigration of all types, but because you disagree with that and your guy does it anyway, I'll attribute it to your side."

yea H1b is a shock to me. dude stfu you have zero clue wtf you are talking about
there has been tons of H1b shite going on for over a decade now and accelerated big time under biden. Trump hasnt done what i would like on this but stop making shite up about paying a lot of money to this admin. Its a straight up lie....if not show the proof.
you wont find a person that bitches more about h1b than me or gets pissed off about it more. Nor am i some huge trump guy that thinks he can do no wrong...still has zero to do with p66 laying people off. that doenst happen like that and shows you are clueless

I always find it humorous how many suck c-suite cock around here when the evidence is plain as day that a huge proportion of high level executives in this country are gigantic libs who routinely frick up their own companies.
You can't go a day or two around here without multiple threads about the latest c-suite frick up that's destroying years/decades of brand value.

Seattle Tech companies cited advances in AI (LLMs) as the reason.

Having been sued for nearly just that. In my perfect world, the burden for a plaintiff to bring a wrongful termination suit would be fairly high. As soon as I get sued it’s a minimum of several $10s of thousand to defend my company.

Well nothing can prevent you from being sued.
You can't take away that right from someone.

No, but why not make the claimant pay for my defense of their claims are found baseless? Seems like a reasonable middle ground to get people to pause before they rush out and hire an ambulance chasing.
Granted, Gordon won’t have as much NIL money to toss around - but still.

You can make them pay for it. If their claim is baseless, you can get attorneys fees and costs I'm pretty sure.

I can email you several court cases where that doesn’t happen.

Did you ask for fees? If so, what did the court say as to why they didn't award them?
