where exactly did I say that Microsoft pays international or foreign workers in the United States less than they pay American workers?
Please try to keep up. The issue is that your buddy bill wants to hire h1b labor to avoid paying u.s. citizens the going rate by claiming that there are not any qualified u.s. workers. The truth is that there are plenty of u.s. workers just none at the wage that your buddy bill pays h1b labor...this has been stated numerous times and you seem incapable of comprehending the most basic of sentence structure...stop wasting bandwidth by filling your post with this puerile nonsense.
I guess I'm just not seeing the issue. If Microsoft can save money by paying to have cheaper labor, what's the problem? US workers don't think the pay is high enough? They have their say by not taking the job. They don't have a right to complain that Microsoft isn't paying enough. That's not their call. And, when Microsoft says there aren't any qualified US workers, isn't it assumed that it means, "at this price?" There may be qualified workers, but they aren't willing to work for the low pay, and the employer isn't willing to pay more than the offer. Something has to break, and it ends up with the employer finding a compromise solution.
Or is this more of an "anti-immigrant" rant?
But...and truthfully Des...if Microsoft indeed paid less (and of course, anyone with an IQ above potato slices knows, they don't)...and they're desperate to bring Indians, Russians, etc., here...knowing that they (Microsoft) have more money than J.C. himself, JUST SO they could pay them less....knowing that IN INDIA...it's already well known, they can pay the same guy, with skills (or gal) $4,000.00 a year (which is double what they pay in the big city in Mumbai....and 73 times what an average Mumbia'n makes)...further, knowing that Microsoft makes enough money each day to afford their own satellite (and the accoutrement costs of sending the data throughout the world...to the smallest dish in the smallest village....anywhere on the planet)....why would they even give a shit about bringing some Indian here to Redmond Washington?
I mean really....if you think about it....Microsoft probably already has their own satellite network (Hell...Bill invested personally, 2 billion in "Iridium", now there's multiples of ways to get data back and forth at fractions of pennies on the dollar)...in the end...why would they have any desire to bring people to the Redmond campus for $120,000 average salary, when they could leave them in shit hole hovels in India for $4,000.00?
jeebus man...a laptop worth 700 bucks is worth 9 kabillion dollars to these folks in their home town. They got a damned town pump for water!
Fuck man...Microsoft could afford solar panels to feed 500 people with electrons for what it cost for ONE 4K Mumbai science/math guy...and it'd pay off in 4 months...but they keep bringing them here at 120K a year. Why the fuck would they do THAT?
Because people like Thompson simply haven't a clue as to markets or business.
It's this simple: Why would they bring them here....even for 50K a year when they could leave them in Aslamabad for 4K?
It's a damn good question.
Hey Thompson....get your foot out of your mouth long enough to a) answer the basic question and b) provide some links as to where Microsoft is paying slave wages.
Clue store is open....I'll hold the door for you.
What do you think the logic is Thompson? Why would Microsoft pay ANYTHING above $4,000.00 a year to have an Indian or Russian come here in the U.S. as opposed to paying them (even some lesser amount than) $120,000.00 a year, housing, etc.?
What do you think bud?
Wouldn't it be (logically) much cheaper to leave them there, in their own country...pay them (even) 1/30th what they'd make in their own country?
No, of course you're right Thompson....you're a freaking business genius.
I bow down to you.
I wish you (and Taz) ran my companies.
Come on Thompson....do it...prove it....tell us how brilliant you are.
