Its like a second or third rate citizen thingy.. a maid/butler arrangement that appears symbiotic until the lights go out.
The H-1B visa program is inherently corrupt and immoral. Companies are allowed to bring in these workers because of an alleged shortage of American STEM workers. But how can there be a shortage when the H-1B workers are used to REPLACE American STEM workers (like in the case with Disney)?
It is a provable fact that each and every person brought in with an H-1B visa causes one American worker to go unemployed. (Or to work in a lower job, which displaces someone else to unemployment, and so on down the line.) And if you bring in half a million, they will cause half a million to go unemployed in America. These visas are utterly immoral - and based on a lie.
Our representatives are supposed to work for the American people, not their corporate cronies, and not for foreign nationals. I cannot vote for any presidential candidate who would support the outrage the program represents.
I work for a very large publicly held company that is moving its finance work below the management level to India. They are letting people go with years of experience that make 50 - 70K per year, and hiring people in India for 4 - 5K per year. We are having a horrible time getting people in India who can do the work, even if the tasks are thoroughly documented. We are also having a hard time actually getting people to stay on the job. It’s like a revolving door. But the 5 year deal with Genpact is done, and we are told we have to make it work.
Genpact (division of GE that manages Indian workers and transition project), treats the Indian workers like dirt, refuses to buy them supplies, including even trash cans and paper for the office.
The Democrats complain that the middle class is going away and we are becoming a nation of only rich and poor. Well, this is why. We are sending our middle class jobs offshore, where the workers are treated like slaves. Pretty soon there will be no one left in the U.S. who has the income to buy our companies’ goods and services.
I hate government interference, but I wish companies had incentives to keep work in the U.S. I think companies that are doing this need to be exposed, but as management we would have to quit before we could let the media know this is going on.
