Can you imagine being forced to train your replacement? Holy hell. I couldn't do it, I'd starve first. And can you imagine sitting with and being trained by someone that you knew you were causing them to lose their job? Corporations making people hate each other, it's the American way. Those H1B replacements should be keeping those American flags - what other country would allow this kind of nonsense to happen.

Yeah, I'm not sure how the folks in charge expect those being fired to do anything but the absolute bare minimum required by their contract.

>what other country would allow this kind of nonsense to happen. Trade is a 2 way street. If the west wants Indian and Chinese markets open to their goods (western brands are ubiquitous in those places), they will want concessions on services and immigration quotas. Recent pushes by the US to open India's retail sector would have wiped out millions of jobs, much more than the few thousand complained about here.

Or you can negotiate a nice bonus/severance and good references for the favor of training your replacement, provided that you are willing to quit on the spot.

  Good luck with that. If you're being laid off and your replacement is already lined up for you to train, you're not really in a very good negotiating position. Plus, a company that would put you in that situation probably doesn't understand or care about the value of your knowledge before they've already felt the pain of losing you.

Maybe you'd leave out some important information when training your replacement.

I imagine there's ways to protest while working. Being a Texan, I'd swap out my more-or-less level way of talking with the most drawl-filled accent I could muster. "see this hahr buttin? rawt clack on't inwhat fer da fahl winder y'all need"
