Termyn8or -> RE: IT work and H1B (7/10/2007 1:20:02 AM)

We have managers all over this country who routinely reward their friends and punish their enemies, all this when the are supposed to be operating in the company's best interest.
These results are not surprising. That they want to outsource offshore, is not only a reflection of their betrayal, it is a reflection of our inadequacy.
If you think for a minute that i would include someone on a job that wasn't going to really work, think again. If I were to wind up with a bunch of sloths as depicted on say, the Drew Carey Show, you would see me burying their bodies. (jk). Just where does the profit come from that justifies their paychecks ?
You see that is what we have lost, and what's more, as much as you might admit that, this is alot harder to swallow. It is a basic form of honesty that we have lost.
I know it is not just money, it is more than that. Lewin A.R.W. Edwards did not come to do a $100,000 dollar a year job here for $20,000. You can find his resume online and he has a site, larwe.com.
I don't personally know the Man, but I do personally know two immigrants here, and each started out on an H1B visa. They both work in a technical field. And I know, people who can do what they do can be hard to find. They pay taxes. What more do you want ?
Doing a quickback rereading here I think I am coming off a bit high fallouting. I did not intend that. I am not better than anyone else, I just happen to have some skills that are in demand. And that could change overnight.
And this offshoring or outreaching with US jobs is not new. Take a look at Microsoft. Sure they have offices and such, but a bunch of code is really written in a mansion in the hills. Might feel like a mansion if there weren't 60 people living and working there.
Yup all mansions and gold they were told, and they left their country of old. Now they have to pay off their plane tickets.
It just occurred to me that there is a slight possibility that the world is alright. But then that would mean that I am all wrong.
OK to just get it out now, I know these multinationals are fucking us up the ass every time they get a chance, but WE let them do it. THAT is what I am saying. If we could offer up our young as a strong, intelligent, loyal and dedicated workforce noone in the world could beat us. Well some could, but they, like the Germans and the Swiss, would see us as a tertiary entity, being halfway across the world and all. We would certainly be the leaders of the hemisphere.
Of course I cant really say that, there are some industrious peoples here.
