Y2K panic is over.

The gravy train is over for techies.The dot com companies went belly up and the world keeps turning.

Welcome back to the real world!

I guess I would feel more compassionate for you if the men and women who are in our military could jack up their wages based on market demand, like the techies did in the last ten years .While the money was good, the Democrats looked like the party party.(not a typo)

Be flexable!Know your marketable skills! Work harder for less income, non-techie workers were told, while the techies garnered (relatively) obscene wages.

Unbridled,unethical,selfserving greed caused much of the economic problems we ALL deal with today.

I have little sympathy for techie whining about H1B workers.At least they are legal.I wonder how many techies paid their maids,poolboys and gardeners over the table?Was it "different" when YOU were making the big bucks?

Choices matter.Character counts.Kharma always prevails.(what goes around-comes around).

I have less problems with H1B hires than I do with techies who price themselves out of the market, and expect sympathy from oh, lets pick an industry, say textiles.
