I've had too many friends be forced to spend their last two weeks on the job training their H1B replacements. I'd be happy if the H1B program was done away with entirely. The idea you can't find enough employees in a country of 326 million people is a joke.
- dleslie 8y agoIt's because companies rarely train. Few H1Bs would be needed if companies trained.

They actually ran afoul of anti-discrimination laws for explicitly rejecting American born workers. https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/21/h-1b-visa-reliant-cisco-secured-visas-for-foreign-workers-instead-of-hiring-u-s-citizens-report/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/21/h-1b-visa-reliant-cis...

- theshadowmonkey 8y agoMost H1Bs in high density areas are not this way. A lot of companies like Oracle, Google, Facebook etc.. have very few H1Bs even though you see a lot of them. Look at them as a % of all employees. And most H1Bs are highly paid, highly skilled, US educated graduates. Atleast, they ought to be given a chance to live and work here.
- riantogo 8y agoDo you know how many H1Bs are issued per year? Do you know how many jobs are lost per year? Do you know how many jobs are created by immigrants (and their kids) who started out on H1B? Do you know how much tax revenue comes in from H1Bs and how many social programs they support? Sorry about your friends, buy H1B here is just a boogeyman.
