I am. But 3 times in my career I've been laid off despite being a high performer because I was too expensive and the company decided to replace me with a cheaper Indian instead who I was forced to train to get my severance.

Or, it sounds like you weren’t bringing much value to the company so they went with a better, cheaper option.
You young people always blame something or somebody else for your problems. Grow the frick up.

And I bet they were far less competent than you.

Gnug's point about the ignorance of older people in real time

They've been programmed for this. Its always "boomers" fault.
Typical entitled twats.

I blame Con Inc for pushing the whole anti college mindset There are a lot of problems with college, such as costs and woke professors/administration. But telling young white men not to go to college cedes that ground to foreigners.
I am a millennial. It was the boomers that told us all to go to college or we won’t amount to anything.
Now that millennials are out of college. It’s older millennials and gen x telling people to go into trade.
Probably because they took on massive debt for the fantasy of getting an extremely high paying job.

These companies will absolutely layoff high performers in favor of cheap foreign labor. No American should be in favor of this.

Wow. Your TDS is crazy... You woke up this morning lashing out at OMB and MAGA. I know you're really hoping Republicans underperform massively tonight. Good luck. Nerd.

You definitely have a hard-on for Fox as you mentioned it 3 out of four times so far.
Liberals HATE Fox. They think every conservative watches Fox non-stop and hangs on everything they say.

Hasn't there been lawsuits about this? I know Disney tried to do this to some employees back in like 2018 and they lost the lawsuit and ended up having to pay massive settlements over trying to force existing employees to train Indian replacements.

Remember how this administratoin has done nothing to address the difficulty that younger adults have to find a job because they are doing nothing about work visa abuse and continue to allow Indians and foreigners to flood the job market, locking out US college grads and transforming entire towns while Americans suffer
You have an unhealthy obsession with Indians.

Yeah, dude. That's the real world. I'm living and working in Wisconsin now because I got laid off and was losing out on jobs to lesser qualified younger folks who were cheaper for companies to hire... and these are not H1B visa hires. Just younger, lesser qualified/cheaper employees and DEI hires.
Companies make decisions based on their bottom line. It is what it is. Not sure how that's Trump's fault. It's been going on long before he was President and will be long after he's President.

You were 18, a grown up. You shouldnt have needed someone to tell you anything.

Times are changing and the job outlook with it.
Why did older boomers tell you to go to college decades ago? Well, partially, the so called “trades” paid poorly because there was a flood of workers in it. Plumbers didn’t make much money, Electricians didn’t make much money. Same for mechanics, carpenters, hvac, etc. Because back in the day, people defaulted into these jobs when they dropped out of school, or didn’t do well in school.
Now there is a demand. These jobs are now paying well. In the 80’s, you could call someone on a Saturday to replace a capacitor or fan motor on your cental air unit. And you could pay them a half case of beer, and a few bucks including the part. Now call a HVAC tech on Saturday and see what you pay.
It’s what’s happening to tech workers in reverse.

This works if we ignore how the blue collar cohort has bitched for decades about Latino immigrants taking over trades in fields like construction.

This economy is only working for older voters who have a lot in the stock market. Its not working for younger voters as we are locked out of buying houses, used car prices are absurd and
Boomers wrecked the economy to enrich themselves and kicked the ladder out from under them then lecture us younger types to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps because if they bought a used car for $500 and house for $20,000 50 years ago so should we and to go walk into an office, hand your printed resume to the CEO and give him a firm handshake as if everything is the exact same as it was in 1980.
The fallacy in your response is that Boomers (and Gen X) have worked their entire lives to be where they are presently, while Millennials and Gen Z expect the same results instantaneously. Patience and persistence is entirely lacking in the younger generations while entitlement blossoms.

I won employee of the quarter in Q4 2023 and shook the CEO's hand on stage while receiving a plaque that is still up on the hall of fame wall in the corporate HQ enshrined in glory with other past employee of the quarter winners
6 weeks later I got my pink slip

You can laugh all you want at me but President AOC or President Mandhami is a very real prospect that needs to be taken seriously and will absolutely happen if Republicans don't get it together I wouldn't vote for them but many would.
I’ll never say it won’t happen because there’s a lot of mentally challenged liberal youth in this Country
But ANY Dem will fully support illegals and that should be a no deal.
