Americans can do these jobs its just butt wipe globalists don't want to pay...

I get it, you believe should always hire someone based on their nationality even if they can't perform their job... gotcha... very conservative principle there. /s

Remember you're talking about the bottom 2% of performers here, that's who you're defending.

As a 40 Year electronics veteran designer, hiring manager, and trainer for such companies as Intel Motorola and several other very large electronics company is my experience that you’re full of shite.

I only have 20 years, but I can confirm, at least at my company, it's absolute fact.

[CodeToad]

“We haven’t been the top companies to work for in IT by making people unhappy, and why we also have less than 1.5% attrition.”

BS. You’re on FR all day.

No one has only a 1.5% attrition rate.

You liberals are such obvious liars.

[TexasGunLover]

No one has only a 1.5% attrition rate.

We absolutely do. At 20 years, I'm surrounded by folks who have been here 25 - 35 years.

Just because you don't believe it, doesn't make it untrue. It also doesn't mean it applies everywhere, but it absolutely applies here.

CodeToad, I know all that from reading and IT field general knowledge but I couldn’t put it into words so well. Obviously you are a highly qualified expert. As such, I wish you would write a report and send it to President Trump (if you have not already done so.)

It’s very difficult to get a job in Silicon Valley if you are an older white male.

They layoff older white men. They just may lay off older US citizens, but most of those are white.

My husband and co-workers have been victims.

[rrrod]

My SIL is in tech recruiting. He agrees with you. But most here recall the Disney scandal of hiring foreigners to replace US citizens. Employers have a difficult time finding good employees.

I'm located in Texas so I can't comment on California. It is very obviously possible that abuses occur, but I have not found that to be the case at my company- ever.

[LdSentinal]

It's the same in the NYC area.

The IT field has been wiped out for American citizens, especially whites.

Another factor is the anti-American bigotry many of these Indians have now they are in charge of the hiring process.

They will only hire Indians and refuse to do interviews with non-Indians.

[Alas Babylon!]

Prove it.

What is your firm?

Give us a link.

[TexasGunLover]

My SIL is in tech recruiting. He agrees with you.

Careful, the liberals around here who believe in a basic income and giving jobs away regardless of ability or performance won't like that.

I absolutely recall the Disney scandal, and that definitely appears to have been an abuse if what was published was true.

> I based my statements on facts and documentation.

Conveniently discarding the overwhelming witness testimony is not basing your statements on facts and documentation.

Sounds like you are in the offshoring business desperately trying to justify outrageously unethical business practices.

If I had the name of your company I’d be making a call to the Department of Labor to check you out.

[RinaseaofDs]

Were you around when the Indians started showing up? Guys in the middle of their careers were forced to train their Indian replacements or they couldn’t get a package.

As someone who managed offshored software projects, I’d say you got the situation completely flipped. We almost always had to toss most of what came out of India for all kinds of reasons, not the least of which was their paper mills and blatant lying on resumes.

Holy cats. Betting against Americans. It’s your money I guess.

[DuncanWaring]

The Americans might have actually been worth the $75 per hour, but the Indians generally weren’t worth $17.50 per hour.

If 98.5% of your people hang out that long as you claim, you’ve not done much actual hiring at all, have you?

People who don’t leave don’t need to be replaced with new hires.

[clamper1797]

Maybe at your company ... But I have seen entire deptartments replace their American engineers with H1Bs ... As a hiring manager I have had times where it has been strongly recommended by higher management to make the interview hiring bar so high for American engineers that no one could pass it and to use a lower bar for H1Bs. I have been a manager were I had to lay off my American engineers only to have their positions filled with foreign replacements. So I don’t know what company you work for (Tata?) But in my rather lengthy and diverse experience it ain’t that way. BTW is your real name is something like Penkat?

[TexasGunLover]

Sounds like you are in the offshoring business desperately trying to justify outrageously unethical business practices.

The majority of our IT workers are right here, in the heartland of the United States (6k-7k of us).

We regularly report to the Department of Labor as required by all firms and do so accurately and truthfully through many checks and balances.

You also seem to be ignoring the other posts of other folks who confirm the same take I have.

Abuses absolutely occur. But to say that we should be giving jobs to poor performers over good performers is just too liberal of a concept for me.

[central_va]

I get it, you believe should always hire someone based on their nationality

Dickhe3d you seem to understand nothing.

You also seem oblivious to the pent up hatred of globalists and H-1B human traffickers.

There are tons of Americans that can do any job anywhere at any time.

See, the way the market works INSIDE the USA is if a skill is in high demand wages go up. Then more Americans seek out that training and then by magic wages go back down. Pinhead the situation id DYNAMIC and not STATIC. Look up supply and demand. We HAVE borders for a reason.

You scummy globalist douchamatics short circuit the US labor market and make sure Americans don't stand a chance.

Curse your hide.

We have grown consistently in the 20 years I have been here, with the exception of 2008-2010 when we only hired a few inters from local colleges.
