Sources tell me that they are asking 90% of their staff at Bangalore to relocate to CA instead of laying off them. Not ideal, but better than being laid off.
Wouldn't that be impractical or impossible from a visa standpoint? That seems like a lot of H1Bs in 1 year for a single company.

They might use L1's which AFAIK aren't capped.

InfoSys and other bodyshoppers do much more than that every year :-). Yahoo'll probably use L1 s though. With some help from the Immigration folks (which Yahoo has the clout to arrange if they wanted), this should be easy enough.

It would make no sense to lay off 1000s of people only to encourage them to move somewhere where you have to pay them more money.
