IT = HIGH LEVEL MONKEY WORK NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
This is exactly the same scenario Reagan was faced with in the American Auto Industry that was riddled with lazy, greedy, fat auto union goons. They got their asses handed to them and the result was a more competitive and globally dominant US auto industry.
C’mon trolls! You can do better!
You are trying to persuade people in the IT industry that IT work is monkey work and IT people are lazy just like the auto workers of 30+ years ago. Wow, some persuasive powers you poses, is Mr. Cruz also this good at the art of persuasion?
I thought our webmaster would like to read what you think of IT work.
Please cover yourself up -- your naiveté is showing.
"Medical industry = high level monkey work...". (The receptionist at my doctor's office is an idiot). See how that works?
Why don't you enlighten us to what line of work you're in?
Let me explain some things to you, cockroach:
I work in chip design in the Silicon Valley. While my particular sector isn't "IT", it is flooded with H1-B visas.
What we've seen the past 15 years is that employers bring the foreigners here by the boatloads, and work them to death (which they can, because they hold the reigns on them getting Green Cards).
But of course, this abuse extends beyond just the H1-Bs. Because of both there being so many H1-Bs, and the fact that the labor market has (on purpose) been flooded with foreigners, the abusive work conditions become the norm for all chip designers in the US.
Don't like being abused? In the old days (pre-2001 or so) you could tell your boss to "take your job and shove it", and go the next month to a colossal job fair where there would be 10 or so companies eager to talk to you.
Do that now? Or just lose your job due to outsourcing / downsizing / department or division or project shut-down?
Well, if you're over 35, you most likely won't be working in a full-time job with benefits ever again. You'll be pushed into the realm of contracting-only. After all, why should companies make a commitment to you, when an endless buffet of overseas talent to abuse is delivered to them hot and fresh courtesy of sell-outs like our US Government officials? (Cruz and Obama and all in-between.) That contract job? It will last about 5 months until the job is done or the company hiccups and as a first line of cost-cutting dumps the contractors. Then you get to take another 3-7 months to find another job. WITHOUT UNEMPLOYMENT, BECAUSE YOU WERE A CONTRACTOR.
This is no theoretical, this has been my life the past 8 years. You can't ever feel stable. You can't ever even dream of owning a home, let alone in the $ilicon Valley, because of the financial instability. (That, and you're up against people who move their whole family over, and use overseas money to buy the homes.)
You want to call what I do "monkey work", cockroach? THEN KISS MY ASS!
