Uber Technologies, Inc. has filed 986 labor condition applications for H1B visa and 167 labor certifications for green card from fiscal year 2014 to 2016. Uber Technologies was ranked 124 among all visa sponsors. Please note that 23 LCA for H1B Visa and 3 LC for green card have been denied or withdrawn during the same period.
It’s been the reality in Metro Detroit for at least 15 years. Local white female citizens and residents working as Office Manager(s) treat these people as if they’re children, catering to their every cultural wants and needs. If you’re a local white male citizen and local resident working in the same foreigner-dominated office, you’ll be treated as if you are the foreigner.
Despite this outrageous outsourcing to save bucks Uber still spent 1.55 for every dollar it took in during 2016.
Uber employs a lot of US drivers, but their plan is to eventually eliminate human drivers, and go to autonomous cars.
Wait a minute, is your complaint that the white women treat the Indians in the office better than they treat the white men?
Do you want them to stop catering to their every cultural want and need—or start catering to your every want and need?
And there were more than enough reasons to despise Uber already. Their use of H1-Bs to staff their engineering department is just one more reason to hate them.
Who said anything about “hate” or even love for that matter, as though there’s no room for anything between love and hate? Professional foreigners and/or Americans should not be treated like children by managers, some of whom are young enough to be the sons and daughters of those employees. The world hasn’t really changed all that much, but it certainly can be made to appear as though it has. It’s just a matter of people knowing their places and an Office Manager should stick to ordering coffee, supplies, and monitoring the cleaning crew’s work, especially in the lobby, restrooms and kitchen.
Uber is a very Indian thing here in NJ (the drivers); another FReeper equated Uber drivers to the 21st century version of the guy pulling the rickshaw.
Uber is a classic example of the fall of our standard of living; it reflects a growing number of people that can’t afford cars (so they don’t buy them or have to “share” them).
Why don’t the drinkers take a taxi?
My reference to “hate” was intended for the very deserving Uber, not the engineers.
But you have piqued my curiosity. What are these matronly office managers doing for the young Indians?
Right—but those friends aren’t representative of the entire Uber-using universe.
The “shared economy” is indeed consistent with the Agenda 21-style plan: Uber plans ultimately to have people sharing driver-less cars, with a whole rationale loved by the state that there will therefore be far fewer cars on the road.
Unfortunately I can’t disagree with any of that.
Kind of hard to feel sorry for today’s American tech workers, when 80% or more of them voted for Hillary and think of us as Barbarians.
H-1B is a cancer and must be killed. No other 1st world country treats it's citizens a badly as the US government treats it's citizens. With total disrespect and disdain.
On the bright side, it frees up Americans for those high-paying Uber driver jobs with great benefits.
You’re thinking of the “Hollywood” version of tech workers centered in Silicon Valley. I assure you the majority of tech workers being screwed over by H1-B’s aren’t on the Coasts, and vote very conservatively.

Yep, and I think the “Tiny House Nation” (cable TV) phenomenon illustrates that as well.
“What are these matronly office managers doing for the young Indians?”
In one Troy, MI office I worked in (2012), I remember there being a difference between the way the office manager spoke to me and how she spoke to any of the Indians. There was certain reverence towards them- kinda “lovey-dovey” sounding, while with me it was strictly business, short and to the point, (which I didn’t mind so much) and minimally friendly. The Indians were her “special people” and the lengths she went to in making them feel culturally comfortable were great. One day when there were 7 or 8 of us in the kitchen gathering around some leftover pizza (no meat), I remarked that whenever I order pizza for myself, I usually get pepperoni if not 2x pepperoni, but that the no-meat pizza we were eating right then tasted pretty good...Her reply to me was an admonishment, saying to me in a loud voice and condescending tone that “You will NEVER have pepperoni on any pizza as long as I’m ordering it for these working lunches here!”...She really was trying to make me look like the “ugly American”. Also, the small American flag sticker I had push-pinned to my workstation’s partition wall seemed to really bother her for some odd reason. Only one guy from Sri Lanka named Karu had any interest in the fact that the Detroit Tigers had won the American League Pennant and were going to the World Series that year. He was genuinely disappointed when they lost. I called him “Rod Karu” (re: Rod Carew) after the MLB Hall of Famer. He liked it...He was cool. Good ol’ Karu! As for the office manager, she was anything BUT cool and in her PC-saturated mind, she thought she must have thought she was some kind of Room Mother.
Rod Karu—cute.
And yes, office managers can have an attitude for the most arbitrary and capricious of reasons...
