Lets not get distracted and focus on the guy on H1B. He/She is just working and earning a pay check. Atleast they did not walk across the border illegally and take that job.
Focus the attention on the management and the politicians that make this possible. Its their greed to make more with less and pay themselves a fat bonus for reducing costs.
WOW, the "Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game" response?!!!
I am sick and tired of the #H1B rant - you guys said nothing as both Dems and Republicans were destroying US Manufacturing a couple of decades ago.
True, this really isn't about H1Bs. Those people just want to work. It really is just about capitalism, aka greed, and the US stands head and shoulders above the rest of the world when it comes to greed. It really is just the insatiable greed of Wall Steet. And what is Wall Street? Just a much larger version of each of us. Everyone wants that big fat 401k, who cares about a bunch of Chinese people working miserably long hours? Labor is the biggest cost for business in this country, AND the easiest and most affective way to cut costs. As unpleasant as it is, people here are paid way way more than either China or India. It's not my opinion, everyone of us know it's true. The human misery many of us, including me, is not going away any time soon. And IS a direct result of paying ourselves " the big bucks" decade after decade after decade. No I'm not a troll nor a vz HR plant. Just someone who knows that Wall Street is the child of the American people's need, the need for greed. It's karma, we are getting what we made for ourselves, and those Indian & Chinese people have come for your job and your future. They too will, just like the Japanese before them, will "win the peace." Of course we can always resolve the problem the good oi' American way and shoot, stab, gas or bomb the bastards? Sorry, but this is not my opinion, it's the simple plain but sad truth.

TkyH - BS! The H1Bs are the problem and they know it. Being there means some other American is not there. Why?
There are no innocent parties playing that H1B game.
we keep hearing that Mexico and China are "stealing" our jobs, no one is stealing our jobs but corporate executives and politicians are GIVING them our jobs. Same with jobs here, the people that are crossing the border and coming here to work would not be coming here if the exec's and politicians were not giving them jobs.
Oh it's the "I'm just doing my job" defense. That sounds like what a typical Verizon brown-noser would say. And BTW, just for the sake of history, that defense didn't work for Hitler's henchmen or the SS. So get back to work and dig your trench. There's a lot of people that need to get in there with you.

See the real enemy
Screw the H1B and offshore people.
I was replaced, and I was told I was not longer a fit....they really enjoy the humiliation that I was subjected during the meeting
Amen to that, and for those still employed, do not think they won't get you, you may be next, kind of like the Nazis when they came for different groups. It is the corrupt leaders which are to blame.
i agree.....and appreciate that thought posted. recognize the work, intentions and wizard behind the scene, instead of the stage play.
