Comment Just to be contrary (Score 2) 116

Recently, they made a push into groceries. Many of these are priced at or lower than traditional low-cost outlets like Walmart and Aldi. Is it just another tether to keep you attached to the mothership? Probably, but at least there is some good coming from them.

There are plenty of companies that are worse offenders.

I worked in a school district for many years in a similar role as this guy. Microsoft products are dirt cheap, if not outright free, for them. Hyper-V is an obvious migration path for them that could be done in a short amount of time.

There is also plenty of open source options available as well. Will anything be a 100% drop-in replacement with every single bell and whistle? No. Will you care in the long run? Probably not.

The article also says that their current offering is only from 2019, meaning any migration should be relatively painless without the fear of any legacy systems still running.

Not a fan of VMWare and the stunt they pulled, but to act like the world is ending (and especially to drag out the claim that kids education will be harmed) without considering any viable alternatives is a bit ridiculous.

Your link to an advocacy group report counts registrations, not real jobs, and the numbers are as padded as an overstuffed junk resume. The links above actually have quantifiable metrics and specific examples of hundreds of thousands of jobs in recent years where wage abuse was directly alleged, or admitted, as a result of the H1B program.

You can say that it is illegal all day long and be true. When you say it does not happen, you become a liar. When you cite misinformation, you become a zealot.
