I question the validity of this posting.
IBM just got major burned by its India operation.

So, what, no company ever hurt itself with short-term thinking? I question the validity of your post.

Corporate short-term profits and executive shares just cause CEO’s to do what is good for the price of shares so they can cash out their options and live well for the rest of their lives while the corporation they led burns to the ground.

Caver, You’re correct “nothing new.” I’ve seen this headline here on FR for at least the last 10 years.

Tax dodging anybody but Americans corporations should be held accountable. When it becomes more expensive to hire foreign workers it will atop. Our own govt is full of foreigners.
No citizen taxes to pay by these employers.

Slavery has been outlawed for a long time.
Force them to fire you so you can collect unemployment, or just quit, if you don’t want to train your alien replacement. Is that last paycheck or two really worth the indignity?
To: GreyFriar
Ive seen this headline here on FR for at least the last 10 years.And we're still seeing it 3 years after the election.

My company is in the middle of this right now. They are giving it a fancy name and offering some token compensation, but bottom line, if you were over 60 you had to retire early and train your replacement. There is a small bonus for the training, but the company will judge if you met the requirements. No compete clause. No rehire, including no consulting. And, of course, all the replacements are in India. If you didn’t take this program it was made very clear that you would be laid off in a “reduction of force” sometime early in 2020.

"Advocates" say . . .these are people who focus on a single, solitary issue 24/7/365. President Trump has a whole bunch of other things to worry about.
He has done a reasonable job getting companies to relocate factories and such here.
But nothing is ever perfect.
We have got to stop this things aren't perfect and someone has to pay mentality
