H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

This is another issue where Trump is better the Cruz

Ted Cruz wants to increase H-1B visas from 65,000 to 325,000 annually

H1Bs are being abused and I’m not defending them. But there are 2 other big issues (in my 30+ years in technology)

* The government makes it hard/expensive/unattractive to hire/employ/fire employees. Contractors (H1B or otherwise) are a better business decision in many cases.

* Too many employees think the business/project should revolve around them. The idea of giving 40 hours work for 40 hours pay a week seems to be dead. Many employees brag about “working” 50+ hour weeks. But, after 5+ hours lunch, another 5 in the break room, and 10 on the computer or personal calls they’ve barely worked 30. And too many new grads think their 4 years of education in “new technology” trumps my 30 years in a wide variety of technologies. It can be hard to convince them to do what is needed for the project (e.g. another few hours of our time wasted as I watch them fail in their plan then do what I told them).

p.s. I currently work for myself and will work 7:30-6 today. So I can say I’m giving my employer 40+ hours this week even though I’m posting here during work hours. :)
