This phenomenon is also very common in IT.

“This phenomenon is also very common in IT.”

H1Bs are replete in corporate IT. House them 3 at a time in tiny apartments or homes owned by the corp. Work them to death. Pay them high for a while. Ramp down the project. They’re toast.

I heard tell of an H1B who, on a Sunday night just prior to starting a gig, after having flown in from India, was told not to show as the project was nixed. The guy couldn’t drive. That would’ve been a b)&*$.

That being said, how many people have been told to train their H1B replacements? Hmmmm. Or, had to rewrite code from jump because what was transmitted to the States was crap? Uh huh. Then, there are those US employees encouraged to take 6 month trips to S Asia or parts elsewhere to ‘help.’ Riiighht.

What is it? 6x salary here in the US for someone in a S Asia shop? Makes you all warm and fuzzy.
