As usual, it's not a shortage of talent, it's a shortage of talent willing to be exploited.
The article explicitly explains that they "needed" to hire 25 foreign workers to deal with the shortage... after they made 50 local workers quit by cutting pay.
"nuh-uh-uh, you didn't raise my pay"

I came on here to say exactly this and you beat me to it.
So just the usual importing cheap labor. Fuck corporations and fuck the people who make excuses for their shitty practices
