[Mr. Jeeves]

We have gone through a number of H1B’s at work. They are often much lower quality than American born engineers or coders, but they work for cheap. Over all, the quality impact is detrimental to the bottom line, but for the quarterly bonus it looks great.

Your company is telling you - quite loudly - what they really think of your profession. They may need some variant of what you do in the short term, but they resent the hell out of actually having to pay anyone to do it.

What is rather amusing is that when my team had our last meeting, the management begged for us to stay.

Now we are getting more H1B’s in management.
