I personally believe there is a pitfall with this plan, in that modern Western g
enerations lack the work ethic and the preparation to actually succeed.
I mention this because the clinic I work has been cycling for months through cle
aning and maintenance employees. So many of them had to go because they weren't
getting any work done whatsoever. Boss here was adamant about hiring nationals o
nly... finally we ended up hiring a bunch of South Americans, and those are the
ones we are keeping because they actually get to work instead of sitting on thei
r asses.
Thing is I see companies here with structural problems, that try to solve their
issues by hiring more people... and the problems remain because the people is no
t solving them at all. We must be the most educated and prepared generation on p
aper, but you go out to the real world and it is full of software engineers who
don't know what TLS is or that login credencials are supposed to be stored in a
hashed form. In order to hire a competent person you either need to fish for som
ebody born in the 60s or earlier, or go for a foreigner.
I am a bit skeptical when Westerns plan to ditch fireginer workers and replace t
hem with their own, when you consider a bit part of the reason why the locals ar
e not getting hired is they don't solve issues.
Maybe it is different elsewhere. When I talk to foreigners that is the vibes I g
et, though.
