The visa pause never would have occurred if not for the systemic guest worker program abuse involving the likes of the major offshore firms (Tata, HCL, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, ...), the replacing of thousands of highly skilled and competent citizens every year with severely underpaid guest workers, the fact that most visas in consulting are only used to get resources for less than the cost of citizens, ... If you want to be angry, be furious with the companies abusing the program and exploiting the guest workers, and all the willing participants, from executives to cio’s to hiring managers to relevant consulting firm staff. We have to face facts that the US has the most highly skilled guest worker program abuse by leaps and bounds, when compared to the rest of the advanced world. Our system has failed citizens and immigrants terribly and needs major reforms. #h1b #h1
dont forget to boycott consultancies/staffing companies as well. they put more than one H1B applications for same person and provide fake background checks
I hear you..
Well said
It's no surprise but they sell their jobs by just giving them an opportunity to work onsite..
Dont be a crab
Are you Tamil?😊
Can we be upset at passing an overreaching law that fails to address the specific issue, but instead just nukes everything from orbit. It's like banning cars because you didn't want to pass regulations regarding drunk drivers
Going with this naive argument, Would you consider boycotting JP Morgan because it outsources a lot of its work to these consultancies or would you rather leave the perpetrator Scott free and scapegoat the easier targets. Write to your leadership
I used to think that way, when I was working directly in a Product Management role with a US employer, after my MBA. Performed well - even got performance bonuses.. Mass layoffs happened with leadership transition - 2 weeks before my H1B filing date. It was only the Consultancy that came to my help at that time. Working on a much lower paying role right now to get my I140 cleared - maybe one more month. Don't feel so high and mighty from where you are. Many of us are vastly over qualified than you. Just got dealt with a bad set of cards.
All H1B here on blind complain of Trump extremism... But in home country same H1Bs vote Modi and are into Modi extremist policies, and fail to see the irony til it affects them... Signed an Intelligent Indian ...
Extremist policy good for both US and India
Boycott
