10’s of thousands of Americans faced that fate as a result of H-1b.
Turnabout is fair play.
Sometimes Management viewed IT people as overpaid clerks. When they got a chance of getting the same people for much less money, they did it. The problem was that the level of support went WAY down. Not only that, the H1B’s would defend their turf against Americans by trying to appear to be the smartest person in the room. So they sounded like they were working when they weren’t.
Luckily, at some point, an H1B will cuss out a VP and the clock starts ticking.
