      Much easier to underpay fresh immigrants and then rinse and repeat when they start getting all uppity than your own country’s workers who know their (rapidly eroding) rights.

      Using H-1B to fill American jobs laid off is illegal. Visa workers can’t displace American workers. Justification of need for foreign workers required such as work skill not available.

      You know, I’m starting to think that the Ellison’s might be the bad guys..

      Congress. Do something. Please.

      This is not the intent nor the design of the H1-B system. Nor is it a critique of immigration. We need immigration. The H1-B program is a reasonable program when intent is clear. This is NOT reasonable use.

      You cannot simultaneously claim that there are not enough domestic workers and lay off domestic workers.

      Should be a law that if you had layoffs in the last three years you are ineligible for any H-1B sponsorships.

      Wow!!!! Bet Trump threw in the fees as part of the “deal”.

      Funny, it sounds like it’ll bring in more immigrants than what the $1T murderous debacle that is his deportation and incarceration immigration policy has removed.

      Could it be Trump isn’t concerned with anything but his own asset numbers at our expense?

      The tone of this article is misleading. It tries to imply that Oracle is firing while also applying for work visas. It’s highly likely, given the $100,000 H-1B fee for hiring overseas workers, that the vast majority of those visas were for non citizens who work for Oracle in the US. And it’s likely that those same non citizen employees are getting laid off. We can’t say for sure either way. Also, headcount reduction decisions like these are communicated abruptly so it’s not like the company was secretly scheming for this to happen.

      The article title is sensationalist. The Visa applications were mostly in 2025 – before the mass layoff. There is no information about how many of those jobs were also laid off recently. There is also no information about which roles were filled and which roles were released from which teams. I’m all for holding up a pitchfork when people do unethical things but the title of the article seems to imply that the applications were filed after the layoffs which is just shitty journalism.

      That’s a clear violation of H1-B by the way, but since they won’t even go after pedos they sure won’t go after that

    17. htffgt_js on

      It is either this, or the jobs get offshored. Not sure which one is worse. Crazy times.

    18. quickspin_go on

      The article is quite misleading. Obviously a rage/click bait. It makes a viewer think that oracle doing a mass layoff in the same time using H1B program to replace those who were laid off.

      The loyalty of a billionaire on display everyone. Billionaires buy the media, buy the government and now have complete control of the military. Welcome to the end.

      Any company who conducts layoffs should be precluded from international hiring for domestic based roles for a minimum of 5 years

    27. zer04ll on

      yeah doesnt work that way, deadline was 18th of last month, my company won a spot and we will be giving it to a engineer that graduated in the US

    28. tanbyte on

      Offshoring or hiring outside after firing American workers should be illegal & penalized heavily. Ideally, no more than 5% of the company hiring should be outside

    32. MarcinTheMartian on

      My manager (Software) told me they pay people abroad $35,000-50,000… for principal level engineers. No wonder everything is getting offshored.

    34. FlyingBike on

      I thought they weren’t allowed to apply for visa hires within 6 months of layoffs. Am I reading this wrong or misunderstanding something

    37. asfsdgwe35r3asfdas23 on

      What I don’t understand is why would you fill H-1B Visas and pay those people US salaries instead of just opening an office in Poland/Spain where you can get 5 engineers for the price of 1 H-1B salary.

    39. blackmobius on

      Oh look, more people using the H1b visa system to sidestep labor laws and fair pay. Shocking, I know!

    42. peepee2tiny on

      They just fired all the people who had lots of unvested stock options.

      They still need the labour just wanted to get rid of the liability of paying everyone for their decades of service.

      „Thanks for sticking with us through the ups and downs, we’re big now so we don’t need you anymore“

      Classic American capitalism.

      Go ‚Merica.

      What a joke.

    43. NerdDaniel on

      Assholes. This should be illegal.

      Oracle has 30,000+ people to contact for potential hires.
