Can't vote?
Well, treated by whom? In what context ?
Troll
H1B is a work permit. GC holders are permanent residents. Citizens can vote and be called in for jury duty
Yeah. That's it really!! Other then that we all need to eat, shit, sleep, pay bills, taxes, put kids to school and so on.
Major companies, whether because of professional ethics or to cover their ass (or both), generally treat h1b, green card holders, and US citizens similarly. Word on the street is that h1b’s do get paid less across the board. However, many companies take advantage of the h1b’s and the fact that they depend on the job to remain in the country. This often results in very low pay, overworking, and poor treatment in general.

H1Bs are indentured servants.
Do you live in fear that if you get fired, you and your whole family need to leave the country right away—no opportunity to look for another job at all? Is a loan or mortgage application denied or a 30K car loan given to you only for 1 year bcs “that’s how much time is left on you H1B visa”? When a close family member passes away, do you have to decide between traveling to home country to bury your parent(s) or avoid the risk of being denied entry to US for some reason and erase the last 10 years of your professional existence? Have you ever had to suck up to a horrible manager or job or company indefinitely bcs changing your job would reset your H1B or green card application? I could go on but I think by now you should have a decent idea about the difference between a US citizen and a H1B. Unless you are trolling.
Def not better. What makes u think that? At good companies they r treated equal day to day. Though even there it makes a little bit of a difference when negotiating salary at join or getting raises etc. As u might know companies give out raises and refreshers to keep the employees and havinf h1 employees makes it a bit eaiser to keep. (That's the best case scenario) At shitty companies and consultancies/sweat shops they are basically treated as bonded labours (That's the worst case scenario)
to this point, i ask — how do some end up in these so called “sweatshops” while some end up in “good companies”. also, why are they “bonded laborers”? — why can’t they leave for a “good company”? i too am a us citizen and wondered this same point. in the environment i work in, h1b is the norm and expected in order to obtain the best talent and salary has never been lower for these folks
Lots of reasons why they can't leave. Obviously one of them being they can't get in. Others being the limitations of h1. For example after your 4tg year of h1 most companies won't hire u unless u have started ur green card. Also costs company more and in times of uncertainty they don't want to hire a OPT person who may or may not get h1b lottery and will have to leave etc.
