f you were laid off from your job, would you be willing to train your replacement if your company threatened to take away your severance pay if you didnt do it? And how would you feel if your replacement came from India, and the only reason your company was replacing you was because the foreign worker was a lot less expensive? Sadly, this is happening all over America especially in the information technology field. Huge corporations such as Disney and Southern California Edison are coldly firing existing tech workers and filling those jobs with much cheaper foreign replacements. They are doing this by blatantly abusing the H-1B temporary worker visa program. Workers that had been doing a solid job for decades are being replaced without any hesitation just because it will save those firms a little bit of money. There is very, very little loyalty left in corporate America today. Even if you have poured your heart and your soul into your company for years, that ultimately means very little. The moment that your usefulness is over, most firms will replace you in a heartbeat these days.
When I learned that Disney was doing this, I was absolutely outraged. Talk about a company that is going down the toilet. The following comes from the New York Times

ever been “near shored”? Trained two engineers from a country south of here to do my job.....
The law is explicit that to apply for an H1-B visa employee, there must be a case where there are no qualified citizens.
By definition, if the soon-to-be “former” employees have to train their replacements, then the citizens being replaced MUST BE qualified for the jobs, hence the company is breaking the law.
I hope that these Disney employees will file a law suit in federal court against Disney for breaking the law, as well as falsifying federal documents.

That reminds me of a test I took for an actuarial position with an insurance company back in 1985. I scored an 89 on the test. It was not high enough to be hired. The interviewer showed me the grading chart. One thing I noticed were that there where 2 columns. The second column was for minorities. For the same amount of questions that I got wrong, if I were a minority I would have scored a 97 ( high enough to be hired ). The minority scores were "adjusted".
where = were
He's not, UNLESS you are assuming he's on our side, he's on the side of the caliphate.
No problem.
