What do you call a company that lays off its American IT workers, outsources the work to Accenture, then hires the Accenture executive who sold them the outsourcing as their new tech chief?
FedEx. Let me introduce you to Vishal Talwar. Last August, FedEx made him Executive Vice President, Chief Digital and Information Officer, and President of FedEx Dataworks. Before FedEx? Chief Growth Officer for Accenture Technology. Translation: he sold outsourcing and tech transformation services to Fortune Global 2000 companies. Companies like FedEx. In the same window, FedEx was firing Americans: · 2023: 800+ at FedEx Services · 2024: IT and Finance cuts at a 4B+ reduction · 2025: 1,500+ layoffs in Tennessee alone Who picked up the work? Accenture. Meanwhile, FedEx filed 5,800+ H-1B LCA applications from FY2015 to FY2025. The timeline: 1. FedEx fires American IT workers 2. Accenture takes the work (with offshore labor) 3. FedEx hires Accenture's Chief Growth Officer and makes him CDIO Hire the salesman of the company that took your American jobs. You don't hate these companies enough. |

Universities contribute to economic growth and national competitiveness by equipping students with higher-order thinking and academic skills. Despite large investments in university science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, little is known about how the skills of STEM undergraduates compare across countries and by institutional selectivity. Here, we provide direct evidence on these issues by collecting and analysing longitudinal data on tens of thousands of computer science and electrical engineering students in China, India, Russia and the United States.
We find stark differences in skill levels and gains among countries and by institutional selectivity. Compared with the United States, students in China, India and Russia do not gain critical thinking skills over four years. Furthermore, while students in India and Russia gain academic skills during the first two years, students in China do not. These gaps in skill levels and gains provide insights into the global competitiveness of STEM university students across nations and institutional types. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349707487_Skill_levels_and_gains_in_university_STEM_education_in_China_India_Russia_and_the_United_States |
Op. This is exactly it |
So stop using FedEx. That’ll show them. |
Proponents of immigration showing off their failure to understand capitalism or workforce dynamics again. Completely tone deaf and blind to issues. They play by sense of smell. |
You seem confused. Companies need cheap workers, like Trump's hotels. They don't care about critical thinking skills. They care about the bottom line, or in Trump's case, making sure his resorts are staffed with people of certain color. Also, China produces more STEM PhDs than the US, simply due to the size of their population. |
So, you think critical thinking means we should ignore economic concerns? I don't understand. |

Sometimes they reveal the truth.
"Trump's H-1B Visa proposal will require salary increases for entry level jobs. That could shut out opportunities for young talent as US employers balk at the increased expense." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-08/trump-s-h-1b-visa-proposal-requires-salary-increases-for-entry-level-jobs?taid=69fdc105c46961000181d223 |
Like Democrats don't care about young American workers? |
it is sad but when you look at what they actually do, how can you think otherwise ? |
|
The H-1B visa dream is now turning into a MENTAL HEALTH NIGHTMARE for many Indian tech workers in America. From constant visa uncertainty and layoff fears to Green Card backlogs and job pressure, thousands of highly skilled Indians in the U.S. say they are living under nonstop stress and anxiety.

Stop the trolling. Just say you don’t like Indians and call it a day. |
