American workers are truly under attack from all sides. H1B. Outsourcing. What's left? The blue collar manufacturing is mostly gone. White collar work well on its way out. Why is our own government (by the people for the people) actively assisting in destroying American's ability to get jobs (H1B)? Especially in these conditions. I'm no racist or idiot but it's unacceptable. I didn't expect the gov to actively be conspiring with big corps to make my economic position weaker. Unbelievable breach of trust. We need to demand change from our government.
It’s an unpopular opinion in the current environment but it’s the program that allows international talent to connect with local capital that creates all the jobs in tech.
The biggest problem right now is that there is no distinction between companies replacing Americans labor with cheap labor and entrepreneurial talent that creates jobs. Everyone is on the same visa.
And when we're all out of work except for the doctors and nurses, electricians and plumbers, there will be nobody to contribute to consumer spending. And we will suffer, at the hand of the government that assisted in this scam.
Having to work with ESL contractors from firms like Cognizant or HCL is true pain. Normally it would be like 3-4 US employees working on something and then its like 20-30 ESL outsourced people working on something. The quality is so poor though its not worth it.
My current org nuked their contract w HCL after 2 years because how shitty they are and now everything is back onshore. Millions wasted lol. Corporations are so silly sometimes.
They also need 5 people to do the work of one us worker. And then another US worker to guide and do some qa on the output they produce . I don't see how it saves money. There are other countries with lower wages than the US where this doesn't happen such as Poland or Australia.

Your government no longer works for you, it works for a small group of billionaires. Does it make sense then?

Efficiency rules all.
It just doesn't make sense to pay someone $10 when you can pay someone else $2

If the predictions of someone are correct, AI is going to hit everyone, including the doctors, nurses, and plumbers and electricians
Maybe they will give us subsistence UBI
2 dollars and a 12 hour time difference with a full day between messages in conversations.
They will come back (eventually).

They are. Companies also do this and then wonder why they get blackmailed for terabytes of leaked proprietary data on the darkweb.
Saving money on wages isn't the only consideration.
