What are the venn diagrams like?
Companies laying off but increasing their H1B talent?
Companies laying off but increasing their outsourced labor offshore?
Companies using the RTO mandate, seeing some employees leave, and replacing them with either outsourced or H1B holders?

1/4
We know that there have been RTO mandates, seemingly increasing.
We know that there have been layoffs
We know that many companies employ offshore contractors for some work.
We know that companies leverage H1B Visas

3/4

Day 2 of All Things Open 2023 2023.allthingsopen.org is a wrap. My feet hurt, but my brain is full. Over the next couple of days I'll be writing up somethng about what I learned.
I've been in the habit of "trip reports" since I worked at DEC, sharing what you learn isn't normal for many now

I'll be at ATO on Monday/Tuesday, maybe there for Sunday as well, anyone here that I know going to be there?
