Also true of age discrimination. If you’re over 45 becomes harder and harder to land a new job when you’re dismissed from an old one when they lay people off not for grounds of poor skills or anything any in fraction.

I have seen posted job notices with no description of what the jobs are that they allegedly cannot fill at my employer. Offering 155,000 a year for three years this is the time that they are firing people who have over 20 years experience at the same company.It isn’t Skillset and it isn’t the salary grade. It is turn over to meet an agenda.

That’s sad. And Wells used to be the gold standard in the banking industry.

“Indians are the best computer programmers in the world!”

Sounds to me like they’re the best racketeers in the world.

“And we work harder than the Americans!”

Scam harder.

They probably haven’t found the right Indian H1B scumbag to fill the position yet, at $40K a year.

In interviews, the Indians ask impossible to answer questions, to “disqualify” Americans and hire other Indians. It has happened to me a dozen times. So in one interview they asked me what the order was, of the parameters for the “net present value” function in a specific piece of software.

x = NPV(p1,p2,p3,...)

That is an incredibly obscure function, let alone its specific parameter order.

You know the interview is over and fake when they ask trick questions like this. And the Indians feel so proud when they can make you feel bad and take your job away from you at the same time.

Yes. He dropped that pretty quickly when the GOP informed him that massive cuts to H1B will result in similar reductions to GOP coffers

Yea now that you mention it When the hell is the final product of Star Citizen going to be released.
It’s only been like 10 years now or something.
You guys have suckered 100’s of millions of dollars out of go fund me types, spent countless millions on hype and demo’s.
convinced tools spending thousands to buy some prototype ship to walk around in etc.
I hear Unreal 5 is coming out next year.....A new excuse?
Are you Chris Roberts?
How about just a simple remaster of Wing Commander 2?

The problem with this exchange is that the author has basically stated that he doesn’t like Indians and doesn’t want to work with them. Assuming that the job posting is on the level, why would they hire someone with this kind of attitude? If the roles were reversed, and the Indian guy bidding for the job had this kind of attitude about Americans, would the American recruiter pass his resume on?

Naw.I’m just a backer. A disillusioned backer, after I found out today they will ruin the game by using Indian H1B trash programmers.

I’ll be selling off my Legatus-level stash in the Grey Market.

I’ve been working for 30 years and don’t make $60/hr.
I’ve heard that some recruiters will advertise jobs at insanely high rates - there is no job; they just want to contact your current and previous employers and do their recruiting.

Most Indian H1Bs and hiring managers have absolute contempt for Americans. They absolutely believe that they are superior to Americans.

Thing is, a role reversal might have been possible 30 years ago, but Indians absolutely dominate all levels of tech today. And they are the most racist group on the planet, with the Han Chinese a distant second.

Yeah, I most certainly hate and dispise Indians in IT in the United States. They have absolutely destroyed the US white collar community. Any American going into computer science or IT and many other today is absolutely ignorant of future job prospects.

Yeah always asking for a word-editable resume. These dalit trash are the only ones. What few American recruiters are left don’t

The posted notice which was required of the company said they were 10 of these positions yet gave no leads on how to actually apply for any of these jobs they say they cannot fill internally or even within our borders.

Stated noticed was that they would be filled by foreign labor at above market wage

True for all recruiters at most IT companies today. They will ONLY hire Indians - even DOD contractors. They will try to find Indians to fill positions.

How much did Legatus-level cost you?
does Roberts still have control over the Wing Commander franchise?
What about Star Lancer?

I frigging loved the Wing Commander games wish they would bring them back....UN-altered of course except graphics and multi-player.

Had a Glide wrapper going for a while to play WC2 but what a pia....to old to bother now.
gotta pull out my old Voodoo 2 card...

1) I love Indians!
2) I married an Indian girl!
3) I love Indian food.

I am just concerned about having a foreign nation take over, at a very fundamental level, the information infrastructure of The United States, in this short period of time.

Why can’t the federal government look at the racial hiring statistics and on that basis ...

Because the Indian IT cartel (InfoSys/Tata/Wipro) pays them to look the other way.
