I’ve heard, and read, that before. That just doesn’t make sense. How do you force an employee who is going to be let go to train his foreign replacement?

If you read the article, it does go into detail and explains it clearly...

I am guessing considerable money could be lost if the US worker refuses to train the H-1B visa holder with a “positive attitude”

one quote:

He and hundreds of his fellow “Cast Members” were informed last October they were being replaced by a foreign work force, and they could either stick around for 90 days and train their replacements — with a good attitude — or leave immediately and forego their severance packages.

Thanks for posting this. I have heard that the Fast Track trade bill has immigration expansion within the bill :(

During the Gang of Eight Amnesty debate, Senator Ted Cruz submits an amendment that calls for a “500% increase” in H1-B work visas:

Re: “How do you force an employee who is going to be let go to train his foreign replacement?”

Three ways.

(1) Large corporations offer a generous severance package. 18 months of full pay and full benefits is not uncommon for someone with 10 years at the company. Plus, they might pay tuition for new training. They might offer office space while you job search. And almost all companies offer a 12 month contract with a professional job search firm.

(2) Job recommendation - a future employer is legally allowed to request four items of information from a past employer. The dates of your employment. Job title. Pay. Eligible for re-hire? If you fail to train your replacement, your current employer will tell all future employers you are NOT eligible re-hire. That's a huge black mark on your record, and your current employer has NO legal obligation to explain why you are not eligible.

(3) You must sign a full non-disclosure agreement before you receive your severance package and your eligibility for re-hire. If you break that agreement, they will sue to recover all money from the severance package, and you will instantly become NOT eligible for re-hire.

Very insightful... Thanks so much.

You need to get out more if you don’t know the ways corporations can control people, whether in grunt jobs or executive positions. While working in HR for for several years, I’d go home sick — literally — some days after watching what had gone on in the Director’s office. It was shameful.

Read your own words MayflowerMadam. There is a difference in Corporations having the "control" and being able to "force" people to comply. Putting a gun to someone's head and saying "You will comply" is "force". But to say "You will comply or hit the road" is "control. And, it sounds like to me that your physical and emotional health might have been much better had YOU not gotten out more.

Displaced American workers should list Ted Cruz as a job reference.

Q: "Did you really work for the Senator?

A: "I guess so. He sure didn't work for me."

That’s a terrific joke.

Thanks for sending it.

Still laughing!
