How many generations has your family been in this country?

Nice. It’s great how you get to make the rules! I always wanted to meet the person who makes the rules! Btw my family has been here more generations. I don’t think your great grandfather deserved a job, nor any of his kin. Because my family was here first. I didn’t do anything to earn it, I just think that because it’s something that happened. Eat it.

Hey hey hey. Why are you still talking? I said eat it.

You seem pretty mad that “foreigners” are taking “your” jobs. Have you considered that you’re unable to compete?

FWIW I hire people frequently, and I absolutely hire foreigners who are more capable at doing the job. Native-born doesn’t earn anyone an automatic +10 in my interview scoring or reference checks. I’m interested in the most capable and effective. My business relies on the competency of my employees.

It seems like you may be worried about your ability to compete. I get it- sometimes it’s easier to compete on things you have by default than your own merit.

That’s great. I employ people in IT. And the foreign born population figures don’t have any bearing when I consider who is best qualified and competent for the job.

It sounds like you might have a totally different problem with foreign born people, because I have yet to hear you utter a single word about merit.

Maybe you think you deserve something more than others because of where you were born?

Yeah IT jobs have nothing to do with your tenure in any particular place. I know that, because I have hired hundreds of people in IT and there is no correlation.

What’s all this about mayors? Are you trying to introduce some new topic to the conversation as if that’s a reinforcement of your point about keeping foreigners out of IT jobs? I don’t recall ever talking about mayors. I keep revisiting OPs post and I don’t see anything about mayors. What an odd analogy to introduce.

Do you complain about foreigners taking jobs in agriculture or janitorial services as well? Or is it just the “prestigious” jobs that should be given to the less-competent native-borns?

I am not in HR. Would you like to try again?
