H1Bs are evil.
They laid off half of our staff this past summer, all the American engineers.
They kept the H1Bs because, besides the normal severance, they’d have to pay them a repatriation allowance (enough to ship their crap back to their home world, reimburse them for any losses when they sold their homes and cars, and pay for plane fare to boot).
So, it’s just cheaper to axe Americans.
#70 Agreed, sir!
