There's a good chance you will see an increase in local hiring

While Citrix was late to the outsourcing game (thanks to strong engineering leadership that resisted it for so long until the H-1Bs staged a coup in Fort Lauderdale and threw them out), the rest of the industry has realized outsourcing is a failure. This is why you see tech companies and organizations like FWD.us pushing so hard for increased H-1B caps and a 600% extension to the OPT program. They want the same cheap #H1B labor they can get overseas but within their own walls, where they can protect their IP better and not have to deal with annoying international labor issues. Elliott's strategy may cause a short-term increase in Citrix offshore headcount, but if the crony capitalists win in 2016, there's a good chance you will see an increase in local hiring that is dominated by visa holders.

#h1b trap has been well documented on the internet, our management has been doing this

Verizon should just rip the band-aid and move all the jobs to India, more people will move away from Verizon services and their stocks will take a plunge. Verizon employees are their customers as well, existing customers will not tolerate third world customer service regardless of how "Superior" the network is. A product is useless without good customer service. At the end the day its not the end of the world, plenty of opportunity outside of Verizon, put that education to use. If the government cared whether American jobs were being outsourced, they could easily ban it, but that will never happen. If there are no jobs available for American Citizens, no one will pay taxes or pay for services it's as simple as that. People need to remember these services are a luxury not a necessity, if more people either boycott or discontinue services, these companies as well as the economy will crumble.. Which is a good thing, stop feeding the snake that keeps biting your head off. #h1b #offshoring

I am thankful today because...

I am thankful for my new job and the opportunity to work on challenging projects again. I am thankful I have a boss who actually is trained in what I do and can offer input into what I do. I am thankful for an #H1B free environment. I am thankful for no more lies, distorted performance reviews, and the need to find at least one or two things wrong with how I work. I am thankful for no more HR bull. I am thankful for this beautiful San Diego weather. I am thankful for parking 10 yards from my office. I am thankful for no more project meetings with half the team missing it so the can go to their employee group meetings. I am thankful for getting out of a cubicle and back into an office. Most of all, I am thankful for the check I am going to get in two weeks.

Boycot their products, theme parks, etc. It's kind of hard to stop watching #ABCTV or #ESPN - Disney's have had a ton of troubles with their IT folks due to #H1B down in Orlando

There is a ton of bitching about #H1B on this site - you have like 100 messages here @zKeRzNy - just search for H1B that's how I find this, Intel is complaining, Qualcomm, Fossil, just search for it here

An interesting #H1B trashing thread, however let me explain it to you since you don't seem to understand. Most of the QC workers I know are either A) an International and a full time engineer, or B) US citizen and a Temp employee, underemployed at a lower position. I have seen this on every team I have been on so far, and the lucky few guys to get full time are stuck at the lower level positions, while internationals are hired as senior staff right off the boat. I don't place blame on them (H1b); however the Government and employers like QC are to blame for allowing it in exchange for short term profits. In the long term it will come back to bite us all, when the economy collapses because there's no one to buy their products, because we don't have jobs. Those internationals are just going to send $ home and retire there. Those at the top don't care because they will all retire to their islands. Do you understand the irritation now?

US Immigration Services: H-1B Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Cap Season

#H1B This information helps us determine whether a petition is subject to the regular congressionally mandated cap of 65,000 H-1B visas. An advanced degree exemption is available for the first 20,000 petitions filed for a beneficiary who has obtained a U.S. master’s degree or higher. Once that limit is reached, any petitions filed for beneficiaries with a U.S. master’s degree or higher will count against the regular cap, unless exempt for other reasons.
