General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview [View all]I am suspicious too! I look for confirmation from independent sources. If only one person makes the claim, maybe they are lying. Maybe it is statistically insignificant, an aberration. But if I notice a pattern of behavior, then I lose my suspiousness. I realize that there may be something to the claim.
I cannot prove it to you. All I can do is report my experience. If there is confirming evidence, so be it. If not ...
If someone makes a claim that is absurd, that defies logic, like the claims of the tech giants that there are no qualified US STEM workers, I would look for reasons to support or refute. Well look at what the US STEM worker has created. We created this technology, US STEM workers all across America created this technology. This EXPLOSION OF TECHNOLOGY was created by the US STEM worker. And now they are gone? Do you believe that? The US STEM worker made Google great. They made Microsoft great, not the reverse. Technology was exploding before Google ever existed. In fact those two Google squirts acquired their education at the expense of US working people. And now they say we are not qualified!?
Look around you. Banking institutions are corrupt. Oil companies are corrupt. Wall Street is corrupt. US workers across America are getting screwed.
Is it too much of a stretch to believe that Google, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, Oracle, etc are feeding you a line of crap?!
