H-1B SLAVES!
This is all about ZGoogle. Facebook, Microsoft and every other high tech company suppressing the wages of STEM graduates and having a complacent workforce who they can bully and mistreat!
This program is in serious need of reform.
Bingo. The Visa stays with the business. If the worker leaves, they are supposed to leave the country. I understand there is an unwritten agreement among the tech companies that they will not poach each other’s employees. It helps keep down salaries.
Post 2 is correct that most H-1B foreign IT workers are brought in as cheap labor for the Big U.S. tech companies.
My son-in-law, born and bred in our U.S., works doing IT for a company that does tech and has a proprietary product that financial institutions all over the world use. His co. has offices here and several places abroad. He is very talented and gets sent all over to troubleshoot problems.
He has seen and fixed applications that were coded and run by foreign-trained workers. Yes, they are adequate for run of the mill work but are not up to speed for top level or complex or getting the application lean and mean to run fast and long-term. Ya get what you pay for in IT, just as in all wages or purchases.
Shut it down. Period.
