IBM is ending H‑1B and green card sponsorships for most roles in IBM Consulting. Existing workers can either relocate outside the US or leave the company.

Between the Trump administration's hostility to foreign workers and AI-driven layoffs, this seems inevitable and I expect more announcements to follow.

This is the end of an era in tech.

I'm sure it totally makes sense to not let the smartest people into the country anymore.

I hope this is what the American people wanted when they cast their vote in favor of Donald Trump. Twice.

It's almost like 'they know' something "Big and Bad" is looming, coming right around the corner, involving people fighting and dying for nothing... any day now, aaaaany day.
