More and more it becomes evident how American engineers got flushed out of the Silicon Valley….
"...good money for an Indian. a person no one can understand."
That's what he SHOULD have said.
For someone coming over on a work visa who (I presume) won’t be paying taxes, 50k is beyond good.
You should be able to pay people just enough so they’ll work for you. That is how markets work. If some commodity doesn’t get bought for some price, there’s a reason.
Well, now they can just another couple of zeros to the check.
I think this is the company that fires people by email.
$50k is nothing in Redwood Shores.
This is one side of the story.
“...Spandow asked for permission to transfer an Oracle employee working in India to California...But Spandow’s manager denied the request...”
or
“...Spandow wanted to give the employee, who had a good track record, “a compensation level that was equivalent to Caucasian employees hired by Oracle for the same position.” But Spandow’s manager denied the request...”
It is not clear to me if this Indian employee ever came to California or not.
If not, it seems that Spandow’s superiors are really saying that 50K is good money in India, which is very different than saying 50K is good money for an Indian in California.
This is why Silicon Valley wants “comprehensive” immigration reform. They wan an increase in H1-B visas.
I am not believing these numbers. So a sales manager for Oracle in California makes only $60+K? Remind me to not work for Oracle. I could make more installing cabinets. Probably has to wear a tie and do TPS reports everyday too.
This guy is a clown. Of course, they are going to pay less. Why the heck do you bring a guy from India if you pay him the same? This is why Americans can’t get these jobs in the first place!!
I certainly hope Spandow is not purchasing affordable Chinese products.
H-1B™ working as designed.
