• MEDIA: Laid-off techies face 'sense of impending doom' with job cuts at

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 28 11:38:26 2024
    Brian Roberts' CNBC guest blogger, Alex Koller, on whether Donald
    Trump will nominate Ken Cuccinelli to succeed Ur M Jaddou at USCIS.GOV,
    whether John Thune will consent, and how many laid-off scab workers
    will self-deport: <URL:https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/15/laid-off-techies-struggle-to-find-jobs-with-cuts-at-highest-since-2001.html>
    | Mittal has now successfully petitioned to obtain a separate B-2
    | tourist visa, giving him an extra six months to find new employment.
    | It wasn't a cheap effort, though. He estimated he spent around
    | $8,000 on legal and administrative costs tied to his submission.
    |
    | All the while, Mittal said he's applied for about 110 jobs to no
    | avail. He attributed the dearth of success to employers' reluctance
    | or inability to sponsor visa holders.

    Does Julie Su's DoL.GOV see signs that the techie labor market favors
    American workers or the Cheap Labor Lobby and will Trump nominate
    Eugene Scalia to succeed her?
