Former T-Mobile Employee Blows Whistle on Corporate Practices and H-1B Visa Concerns
A former T-Mobile employee who identifies as a whistleblower has made startling claims about America facing internal destruction, with H-1B visas and what he terms the "Indian takeover" representing only a minor aspect of a broader crisis. Marc Palasciano, who worked at T-Mobile for 17 years in the Dallas area, asserts that he left a lucrative $200,000-a-year career to expose corporate misconduct, including widespread layoffs.
Whistleblower's Background and Allegations
In a video shared on his X account, Palasciano stated, "I’m a 42-year-old lifelong Texan who walked away from my $200,000 career, so I could expose how corporations are destroying America from within." He has publicly criticized T-Mobile for implementing layoffs across various locations, such as customer care centers and headquarters in Frisco, Texas; Bellevue, Washington; and Overland Park, Kansas. Palasciano emphasized that the company is being shielded from exposure despite these actions.
Focus on H-1B Visas and Broader Issues
While Palasciano has gained attention for highlighting H-1B visas and the employment of Indian workers in tech roles, he insists this is not the core of his message. He explained, "I’m going viral for exposing H-1B and the Indian takeover, but that’s not the most important part about what I do. H-1B is one piece of the big puzzle to how America is being destroyed from within." Previously, at a San Francisco council meeting, he discussed the "Indian takeover in Frisco and H-1B fraud," drawing comparisons to alleged fraud cases in Minnesota.
Personal Consequences and Legal Battles
Palasciano reported facing significant personal repercussions for speaking out. He mentioned, "I’ve walked away from a lot of money and turned down a lot of money to speak up. Over the last two years, I’ve been censored into barely existing, I’m shadow banned, I haven’t made any money." To cope, he started a GoFundMe campaign to recover severance pay he refused in order to maintain his free speech rights.
Additionally, he claimed legal actions were taken against him, stating, "Texas, the state of Texas even prosecuted me and put me in jail. They said I weaponized the First Amendment." Palasciano alleged that Texas authorities lied on behalf of T-Mobile during the prosecution, though he admitted to some personal missteps, such as inappropriate texting.
Broader Implications and Context
Palasciano's allegations extend beyond immigration topics to include claims about political donations, suggesting that the mayor received funds from Indian donors not residing in the U.S. His story underscores ongoing debates about corporate ethics, worker rights, and immigration policies in America, highlighting how individual whistleblowers can bring systemic issues to light amidst personal and legal challenges.
