Making room for the new tranche of H1B coming in I guess.

Blame AI.
Nah, executive bonuses and whaleholder dividends needed to be higher.
H1Bs are payed 40-60 cents on the dollar while you can work them harder and they can't whine or get sent home... So..it does help the bottom line.
They also laid off folks with H1Bs. No, I suspect the real story here is that someone somewhere got convinced these jobs could be done even cheaper by AI, so they're cutting folks to fund the datacenters basically.
