If you fire an American to hire an H1B, you are a traitor.
It has happened to WAY too many Americans. H1B needs to happen under the old rules where you had to prove you could not find a qualified American.
Now you can literally tell them you want to fire American workers and import foreigners, and they allow it.
You are correct, it’s a total lie. I’ve worked in Tech since 1989, and I’ve probably worked with more Indians than any American alive. 90 percent of these Visas go to young Indians willing to do the job cheaper than the 50 year old white guy.
I noticed that the article doesn’t allow for comments.
In general when an article doesn’t allow for comments its because the publisher doesn’t want the propaganda undermined by the comments.
Worked tech since the 80’s. Best time of my life. Enjoyed being on the cutting edge, made good money. Turned 50 and got sent packing. Managed to get a few contract jobs with periods of unemployment till I hit 58. No more responses to applications. Time to let the kids take over.
Yes, Governor, as one who was in the trenches, they arrived from the diploma mills, with a piece of paper in their hand with “Oracle” stamped on it. Corporate cost thinking decides that if one highly paid systems person can have the project baby in 9 months, then 9 of the low cost people can make the project baby in one month. This is why IT has gone from a few experts within the business function to full blown cross-functional corporate bureaucracies - IT is now an end unto itself, instead of a means to improving the business function.
Correct
BS. Anyone who actually works in the trenches in a tech field knows this is a lie.
