Does "outsource" mean something different now? An H1B holder is someone who has come to the US to work. So, if they're working here in the US, in an office in the US...how is that "outsourcing"?
- jarsin 10y agoBecause it replaces the job of the american worker with a foreign worker. It's illegal to replace a job of an american worker using H1b Visa's. Maybe insourcing is a better word :)
- SwellJoe 10y agoThere's probably a useful conversation to be had about whether companies are using H1b talent to drive down the cost of technical labor rather than to fill gaps in the talent pool (they probably are). But, wrapping up that conversation in misleading language seems counter-productive.
