While I am sympathetic, perhaps those countries should solve these problems rather than emitting emigrants. The interval between opening new coal fired plants in China is on the order of days.
If it wasn't possible to confuse H1B status with indentured servitude and wages were rising in the US, it would be a different thing. H1B makes feasible a lousy management style that perpetuates bad practice, which results in lousy products.
- davidw 10y agoUnless you're a native american, someone could have made the same claim about your own ancestors, back in the day, no?
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoOf course they could have. So by the same reasoning, people in China must put up with polluted cities as an inevitibilty? I have to know that hydraulic fracturing hasn't caught on in China. The barriers are bizarre, but they're still barriers. With fracking, those could be gas fired plants. We're talking < $10B in investment to fix that problem. So why don't they?
- btian 10y agoThat is ridiculous. It's trivial for a someone on H1B to switch employers.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoThat's simply false. It is anything but trivial.
- guitarbill 10y agoTrivial? Not quite. Possible? Definitely, if you're competent and well rounded. I'm not sure, but I suspect the outsourcing firms filter more by hard-working (i.e. hours put in) and not quality. After all, that's what people who hire outsourcing firms want. So then, when these poor people want to change jobs, there's not that many roles available. Contrast this to visa holders who work for big tech companies. With that on your CV, getting another role isn't hard.
