Protracted Layoffs
Microsoft has 80 billion dollars in cash. But ultimately, the employees are not mad at
layoffs,they are mad at the protracted layoffs. The way the layoff is done makes it
rather clear:
A. Nadella wants employees (Americans) to infight and stab each other
B. Nadella wants the best employees (Americans) to go away
C. Nadella wants the survivors (Americans) to be weakened.
Which begs the question: why?
I'll answer why: Nadella is doing the classic practice of "software corp raider"
perfected by elite Indian upper managements throughout Silicon Valley.
Target are companies like:
A. Cisco, Qualcomm, VMWare, Intel, Motorola, Nokia, Sun, Adobe
B. IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, LinkedIn,Amazon
C. Facebook, Google, Twitter, Apple
The tactics are the same everywhere:
1. Layoff thousands of American engineers (sometimes by smal cuts),
2. Nearly concurrent hiring Indian new grads by thousands, or outsource
to Indian contracting companies.
End Result A. tier companies are nearly completely Indianized, or
defunct: ~70% Indian engineers
B tier companies are Indianized: ~30-60% Indian engineers
C tier companies are generally newer and last refuge of
American nerds: <30% Indian engineers
Guess what: C tier companies are being targetted by Indian diversity guru
Vivek Wadhwa for not welcoming women in tech, while he carefully
spare A tier and B tier from his indignation. Ask these companies their
diversity data, you will find a huge majority of Indian enginers.
What does this have to do with Nadella? Is Nadella innocent?
No. 1 month ago, even as Nadella was planning for this current
protracted layoff, he renewed 100 million dollar IT contract with
Indian outsourcing giant Infosys. It's remarkable that Nadella thinks
India test engineers could be retrained to become
competent software engineers (bypassing much more stringent
interview process), yet the laid off American test engineers could
not be retrained in IT!
With the current layoff, Nadella also announced that Microsoft's
x0,000 vendors, many of them Indian outsourcing giant like
Infosys, Tata CS, HCL, wipro, individual contractors could
keep working for 18 month and take 6 month break. These Indian
contractors are given MORE time than the laid off American
employees, and they are given a lot more ramp-up training
than American new grads, who have to pass much more stringent
interview process!
Now I have to go back to H1b visa. Indian outsourcer giants
take vast majority of total H1b visas every year for the last 10+ years!
Infosys is being sued for discriminating against Americans,
and abusing H1b visa. Yet they are getting contracts from US
government as well as tech giants like Microsoft, Cisco, IBM. Why?
Answer: Years of H1b visa abuse by Indian outsourcers have enabled
importing almost 1 million Indian software "professional"s into the US,
devastating American IT workplace of only 2 million
software jobs. These million strong invaders ganged up on American
nerds, discriminated against American nerds,
only hired Indians/promoted Indians, stole credits, stoled client information,
spied on company's IT, stole projects, force Americans to work doubletime
(American time and Indian time), etc.
By doing this, legions of Indians rose to middle and upper ranks in US tech
giants, further rewarding this nepotistic nonAmerican practice by indians.
Because Indian economy remain in doldrums, and Indian outsourcing
industry is doubling their invasion zeal, they are planning to bring in
another million Indian software "experts" to occupy American IT 100%.
Do you think it's wrong? If so, go to "brightfuturejobs.com" to stop this!
If you think this is fine: then look at:
A. Target outsourcer CIO singing praises of Target's Indian IT,
then bang! 40 million credit cards hacked, CIO out on her ass.
B. Look at Obamacare website, outsourced to Indian contractors,
unusable and had to be reworked by Google engineers.
C. Look at Ebay, occupied by Indian engineers, hacked with
100+ million records stolen.
Indian IT are very good bait-and-switch and very good Big Brother
spying on your email and cutting Americans' tech talent pipeline.
Not so good at delivering.
Think what it would be like if American IT is 100% Indianized,
in another 10 years.

Firstly, Indian IT uses a lot of bait-switch tactics.
Secondly, Indian IT introduces a lot of IT moles to
monitor your company's critical functions. Google
"Indian corporate spying" this is endemic even in
India.
Thirdly, the cost savings are always temporary if at
all. Long term competitive advantage will be critically
damaged by short term outsourcing IT because IT
is extremely critical.
I'll give you a few examples:
A. Target outsourcer CIO singing praises of Target's Indian IT,
then bang! 40 million credit cards hacked, CIO out on her ass.
B. Look at Obamacare website, outsourced to Indian contractors,
unusable and had to be reworked by Google engineers.
C. Look at Ebay, occupied by Indian engineers, hacked with
100+ million records stolen.
I could give you 100 examples if I have the time.
With 1 million Indian IT worker occupying American IT
jobs 50%, the devastation they are wrecking on American
companies and American IT workers' sanity are massive and
long term.
