Things we love to see: Bringing American jobs back to America.

Today, the CEO of Opendoor, a real estate tech company based in San Francisco, announced that he was shutting down overseas operations outsourced to India, intending to onshore those jobs and hire Americans.

Here's the letter sent by Kaz Nejatian to the Opendoor team:

Our customers are in America, and the operational work we do is best done close to them ... As we've unified these systems and have hired small AI-native customer-facing teams throughout the US, we need all this operational work to be done in person and close to our customers.

Let's just hope the jobs go to real out-of-work American men and not to new H-1B visa holders or given to the same employees in India, bringing them over on L1 visas.
