GOP Sen. Mike Lee Predicts Quick Passage of S.386 Visa-to-Voter Bill
We need to vote with our money. If the companies that would hire us get our business over those that ship our jobs out of the country, then they’ll make the profits while the free traitors take the losses.
Good times.
nowhere does it say “forced”.
I went through 2 major training “transitions” and I stayed by choice.
I was working for a software company in 1984 when this happened to the company. The ‘excuse’ given by management was they couldn’t find any US workers that had the right kind of experience.
The East Indians arrived. Fortunately, they were additions to the staff and none of us Americans lost our job. But by doing this, management had driven a wedge into the employees. We resented the Indians, especially after we learned by working with the new faces there wasn’t anything special about them. We Americans knew as much as, in some cases more than, they did about software.
The company filed for bankruptcy and closed in early 1985. The Indians returned to their jobs with the outsourcing company. We Americans started looking for work.
Sad tale.
H1B / Outsourcing bump for later...…...
Forced? At the point of a gun?
Or did people agree to stay and train others in return for money?
Cold-blooded, anti-American executives.

On December 2nd, my employer announced a huge about-face. Contracts with two of our outsourcing and offshoring vendors weren't being renewed. Our business partners were fed up with the lack of support and the focus on simply "closing tickets."
We'll be hiring almost 1,000 IT app and infrastructure people in the next two years. Our focus will be on cloud enabled apps and maintaining our global data centers at the same time.
Not only did the bank NOT save money, our expense rate actually went up -- WAY UP -- when we were supposed to be flat. Two of the three offshore vendors consistently blew SLA's, the number of major incidents we had per month went way up and we had several high profile and very long term customers of the bank leave.
In my career I've been through three offshoring attempts "to save money and improve service" and none has ever worked. Two of those employers I left when I saw the writing on the wall. This is the first time I've been through an offshoring effort and survived long enough to see an employer admit they f'ed up and re-shore jobs back to America. 1,000 very good paying jobs I might add.
I never thought I'd see the day.
Simple fix:
Passa law that requires in the case os any outsourcing of jobs all executive and senior management positions must be replaced by foreign workers before the first non management employee is replaced by a foreign worker.
In addition, H-1B visas shall be limited to executive positions.
My company has started to hire many people from India.
I am waiting for someone to take my job. They starting to come up with a point system now. I bet it is designed to fire the older more costly employee and they will be replaced by Bob from Kansas. Bangalore, Kansas that is.....
Dear All
ATT depends on spectrum rights in the United States granted by the FCC to them as an “American” corporation.
These rights are so valuable, they will pay tens of billions for the bandwidth.
We need only petition the FCC vehemently to revoke the rights and give them to a non-outsourcing company and ATT will run screaming from their craven mistake.

We can burn them down.
Been going on for several decades now.
They tie your severance package to how well you train your "replacement". Of course the reason those people work cheap is because they can't do what you can do in the first place.
You are actually better off emotionally just telling them where to shove their package. And you will beat the rush. While your former co-workers are spending their time trying to train the untrainable you can be job hunting.
Didn’t work well for Boeing.
I would NOT force a man to train his replacement!
It would not matter to me if my business failed and I went broke because I could no longer compete with those who would do such a thing.
There is such a thing as honor, and doing a thing such as this would strip you of every last shred of honor. :-/
The answer is to require, by law, that foreign replacements are payed as much as their American counterparts.
I have no problem with a foreign tech expert being brought in if his skills are desperately needed.
I would imagine that being “forced” to train a replacement might end up with some “selective” training...
This is old news. The H-1B abuse of US workers started in the 1990’s.
It’s time to pull back on insane ‘legal’ immigration too...
