I once teleported to a Krispy Kreme. Then I woke up.

@dlbags @mroctober I swear you can have open mind about easy answers and not die.
English

@wbridgefa @mroctober I swear if you stop carrying water for this administration you won’t die. It’s okay to call them out when they fuck up. Again Reagan and Obama gave reasons for their firings. That’s how our government is supposed to operate.

@dlbags @mroctober Loss of confidence is the number reason for any military finding. That’s it.
English

@wbridgefa @mroctober They also gave explanations for those firings so that’s a huge component you’re overlooking.
English

@mroctober Obama fired 20 under the most controversial times we faced. Reagan fired 15 inspector generals!
Go look at how many were fired as WW2 started. It’s crazy.

@BradDuplessis This guy has endless bad takes out of historical context.

Prior to WWII we didn’t have a large standing professional force like today. As the country mobilized for war, it made sense that many leaders were found unfit for senior level command positions. Comparisons to today should include this context.

This guy cut 74% of his maneuver commanders before WWII. Can you imagine the shrieking today? Oof.

I am the VP of Workforce Economics at Oracle. We are worth $420 billion.
On Tuesday, we sent 30,000 employees a termination email at 6 AM.
Not 9. Not business hours. Six in the morning. They woke up to the word "eliminated."
The email came from "Oracle Leadership." Not a manager. Not a name. Oracle Leadership.
It said: "We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made."
By the time they read the word "grateful," their access to email, files, and Slack had already been revoked. The gratitude was the last Oracle communication they received.
We did not eliminate the roles. We eliminated the salaries.
In the same fiscal year, we filed 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers. 436 this year alone. The roles are identical. The pay is not.
An H-1B software engineer earns $87,000. The domestic median for the same work is $106,000. Eighty-three percent of H-1B workers are classified at entry-level wages for senior positions.
The industry calls this a skills gap. It is a pay cut that requires a passport.
The visa is tied to the employer. If the worker leaves, they lose their legal right to remain in the country. If they negotiate, they risk the same. If they organize, the sponsor declines to renew.
That is retention.
Our revenue this quarter is $17.2 billion. Up 22%. Net income up 95%. We have $553 billion in committed future contracts. Up 325%.
These are not the numbers of a company that needs to lay anyone off.
We took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge. That is the cost of the gratitude. It frees up $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. That cash services $156 billion in AI data centers we are building. Starting 2028, OpenAI pays us $82 million per day.
Larry Ellison is worth $189 billion. He pledged $51 billion in Oracle shares as collateral for the Stargate AI venture. Announced at the White House.
The stock rose 4% on Tuesday. The day of the 6 AM emails. Wall Street did not see 30,000 people. They saw the margin.
Amazon laid off 30,000 since October. Filed thousands of H-1B petitions in the same window. This is not one company. This is the operating model.
Fire the salary. Keep the role. Fill it with someone whose legal right to remain in the country depends on your continued sponsorship. Pay them less. They will not complain. They cannot.
One employee's father worked at Oracle for 20 years. No phone call. No meeting. An email at 6 AM and a locked laptop.
The role is still open.
The people we fired are free. The people we hired are not.

@Lily4Liberty @gothburz It’s almost like late stage capitalism is about consolidation of wealth to a teeny group of people that clearly have an in with this very transactional administration that is dedicated to helping billionaires plunder America at the majority’s expense.
English

@gothburz Our government law seems offer financial incentives to the companies to hire foreign students. Do the employers even try to offer to Americans to choose: either get fired or get less pay? In a touch economy, some might take less pay to avoid being replaced.
