A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They think they can make it up with H1B workers they will underpay and abuse, and to some extent they're right, but it's just selling their futures down the river. Eventually the H1B employees will dry up or start demanding better wages as well. To some extent this is already happening with India, and some companies are now shifting their outsourcing and H1B hires to Pakistan. Anything to avoid paying compensation that actually reflects the contributions to the org's success.
It tracks with the enshittification that every major tech company seems hellbent on these days
