The worst H1-b visa story I've heard so far...

[hollysmom]

55. get a grip - you don't know if you haven't worked there -

I managed 108 people that were outsource The company hires the workers as Consultants not employees. They are not responsible for what these people are paid, the consulting firm is. here are always ways around it. When i tracked the work through projects the people hired did not have the competency to do work (we are not talking abut special skills but the work as an application programmer. When I complained to the president of the division I was told to shut up, they didn't care, I just had to get the work done with my new incompetent staff. They didn't care that they were not perfect because the stock would go up the next quarter (stock options being the biggest money maker) - all they ever cared about was the next quarter, screw the future.

Ihvae worked with some competent and quick learning individual H1B people (who still took an American job and worked for less money) and I have worked with the ones from the Indian consulting firms. The consulting firms would falsify the experience of the person they were presenting, it did not take me long to find the lies. eventually, they sold off our division, but it failed not too long after that because of a crappy reputation. I know that when I was leaving, I got a call from one of my clients (clients not to talk directly to IT, but they saw my name on a list and they started calling since the reps could not convey what the clients needed). Anyway he wanted to know why I could not stay on, told him to talk to management, I was laid off.

H1B visas are fine if they are used as they are supposed to be, but we don't need more of them. But that is not what is happening, People are just being replaced by cheaper workers because they can be.
