My first run in with H1-B was 1997. Welcome to the party pal.
I believe you 100%.
I have a friend in construction contracting in Calif. Apparently they can be listed at Home Depot for various jobs, in return for giving HD a kickback of some percent.
He said the notion that contractors MUST be Mexican is so firmly entrenched now that very many people simply will not hire a non-Mexican to do most stuff.
Once it has gotten beyond a certain point, it’s very, very hard to turn things back.
MAJOR parts of the domestic US economy are being chopped up and simply handed off to people totally unlike us.
Trump or Ijankas are looking to increasse number of H1b visas. It is an abominationm!
From, what I have experienced, at the recruiting and hiring level, Indians prefer Indians.
So what is it called ?
When I worked @ State Farm, I was assigned to an Indian Team.
They didn't want me so they spoke in their lingo as much as possible.
I didn't last long by my choice.
I was at that point in my last(and I think final) job.
They hired an Indian as the QA manager. They also hired a mirror staff in India.
Interesting thing is, even the Indian's can't understand each other.
There are 30 different languages with 2000 dialects. Only 2 languages are official. One is english.
It turned out that either pictures or the written word become the conveyance.
It was time to go.
stay safe amigo.
Now as I come to the end of my working career (61 & 3/4) 22+, graduate degree in Internet Security, have touched every aspect of IT from Crypto - Vsat, I have hit the age wall, not considered for any position last 5 years, No sour milk here, just reality.
But it is still my contention 90% of every one of America's ills are the direct result of deleterious actions or inaction by congress.
And now with the advent of the 2016 election Congress is truly the enemy of We the People.
“2. When a recruiter or IT management does not speak English and the American applicant is put at a disadvantage to the foreign language applicant, what is it called? “
Legal.
And despicable.
Americans, particularly the white, male kind, are not very pliant.
You need to be replaced with people who won’t ask questions.
Database good
bflr
if an IT manager or recruiter for a company in the US doesn’t speak English, they should be obligated to provide you with a translator, same as if you only spoke Swahili. If they don’t, find a lawyer who is willing to sue their pants off.
My wife was dumped by Symantec after transferring all the jobs to India. I can’t provide details on her role, but it was upper level tech. She was among hundreds, if not thousands of others.
Don’t buy into any Symantec product.
I had a chat with someone doing permanent placements for a major staffing firm. I told him my phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from US-based recruiters, but I couldn’t understand the current (local) tech job market.
What he told me was this:
1 - For many tech jobs in the area, we are at zero percent unemployment.
2 - It has become prohibitively painful & prohibitively expensive to pursue guest workers for these openings.
This partially explains what I’m seeing. But, employers are still holding out for the purple squirrel willing to come into the office each day.
“Hispanic American”
Pick one. Enough with the hyphenated bullshit. You don’t make much of a case when you open with identity politics.
