OUR BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM, EXHIBIT #1,000,006:
An indian Walmart VP was making $30,000 a day in illegal kickbacks by discriminating against American applicants in favor of indian h1b applicants who were paying him the kickbacks for hiring them. https://t.co/pBVXIjvfDm pic.twitter.com/FDHLafxrK7

Funny story:
Ever click the button to cancel your order in Walmart, but it didn't work and you got the item anyway?Well one Indian engineering team programmed that button, and another Indian engineering team forgot link APIs to make that button work for third party orders.

So every time that button got clicked, for every marketplace order, the seller was never informed the customer didn’t want the item anymore.
Hundreds of thousands of people, for years, clicked that button thinking their order would get cancelled, but then they got the order anyway And had to bring it to UPS.
I was the first to discover this, among many other things, And both engineering teams didn’t want to fix it because their bosses didn’t want marketplace revenue to seem lower, even though most of these items would be returns.
I just had my team run a query and cancel these orders everyday to fix the issue within days. I could never get anyone to sign off on it, so I just did it.
I assume that the long-term fix has been sitting on some Indian engineering team’s road map for years at this point.
We uncovered dozens of major issues like this that Indian engineering teams were sweeping under the rug.
It’s weird how corrupt hiring practices and corrupt business practices seem to go hand-in-hand.
