These companies laid off a bunch of people. Some of whom were H1Bs. And they’re hiring a bunch of people. Some of whom are H1Bs.

That’s simply a commentary on large companies hiring even after doing layoffs which is pretty standard.

H1B is meant to help companies when they can’t find Americans to hire. They just fired a bunch of Americans, and now they can’t find them?
They fired visa holders too [0]

The article makes it sound like they are replacing Americans with low paid workers, which is absolutely false.

Maybe the people they fired were bad?
