> IT giant Infosys recently blamed the denial of H-1B visas by United States (US) for part of its growing employee attrition lol so funny. their main perk was chance to get h-1b visa and to blame us govt for not giving it to them.

  I don't think they were blaming the government. Just citing it as one of the issues in their quarterly shareholder report. One of the main ways these companies retain people was this: give the employee promise of onsite deputation if you work for 1-2 years in this project. Now the companies are forced to give them a decent raise or promotion or better projects. It sucks for 2 people I know who had been working like that for the last 3-4 years. Their work day usually ends at midnight and sometimes 1 am-2am (instead of 6.45 pm). They stayed in that project because they thought one day they could go to US. Their employer applied for their visas, but got denied.
