Obama finalizing plans to have your tech job replaced by foreigners

[freebrew]

99. I just know what I've experienced...

and what I see happen to others around me. I worked in manufacturing most of my working life.
I've had co-workers with visas, made friends with most. Had bosses with visas, they were decent bosses.
Some were forced to come here by the company as Canadian plants were closed to dis-band the union shop there.
Those workers were no less likely to be screwn by the company, their salaries were pretty good.
I think what bothers me with the visa argument: Most of the students I knew from out of country were here with either our tax $ or their country's, expecting those graduates to go back to improve their host nation. Most of them stayed here for the $$ or maybe got married. I don't fault that, but corps have used this to undermine the salary structure based upon the costs of the training/education required to get the job.

I think what I just wrote might be a little disjointed, it's early and I'm still half sleeping. Sorry.




An aside...
The last corp. I worked for gave raises by % of your wage or salary. So, the company grew less and less profitable as it was paying its local managers 6 figures, the head guys $Ms and the folks doing the work peanuts.

What amazes me: what incoherent behavior is being taught in our business schools that explains firing the workers(blue and white collar) doing everything they can to do a good job and keeping the management team that screwed things up in the first place?
