schestowitz[TR2]I wonder when they will start investigating Satya, Sundar, and all these other sc-mmy upper management that seems to be more interested in shipping jobs to India instead of hiring in the US.. even a stray dog don't bit the hand that feeds it, these guys are enjoying all the benefits the US offers and they turn around stab her in the back...Oct 09 04:21

schestowitz[TR2]"The US DoL announced that PERM labor certification processing has been suspended for eight technology and IT services companies: Capgemini, Infosys, Adobe, HCL Technologies, Microsoft, Tata Consultancy Services, Cognizant and Wipro. The suspension covers both new and pending applications."Oct 09 05:15
schestowitz[TR2]"One of the key DEI Discrimination lawsuits against IBM (Loeffler v. IBM, filed back in 2025), accusing IBM of discriminating against White Men, continues to move through the court system.Oct 09 06:16
schestowitz[TR2]According to Loeffler’s attorneys, IBM has been withholding documents, and “redacting key information about the diversity metrics it tracked between 2022 and 2024” in, what appears to be, an effort to hide IBM’s illegal DEI policies.Oct 09 06:16
schestowitz[TR2]“After repeatedly claiming that it did not track diversity metrics… IBM produced a document that shows it did just that… But IBM redacted the data … preventing Mr. Loeffler’s counsel from seeing and using those figures.”Oct 09 06:16
schestowitz[TR2]Earlier this week, Loeffler’s attorneys filed a request to extend the discovery period by 2 1/2 months (through the end of December) so that the “Plaintiff’s counsel can finish gathering the evidence needed to oppose IBM’s anticipated summary judgment motion and prepare the case for trial.”"Oct 09 06:16
