It often isnt about saving money, it is about having fragile immigrant workers on a leash that you can control with the constant threat of layoff--->deportation
- supportengineer 1y agoI’ve watched this abuse firsthand for most of my career, over 25 years
- alephnerd 1y agoIf it's control, you get the same in CEE and India with restrictive non-compete clauses that would make Illinois look like an open market, frivolous lawsuits, and no-objection certificates. Control doesn't impact my bottom line. Reality is, H1B hiring is just as impacted as normal hiring in the US.
- corp8drone8sf 1y agoIf you were right, we wouldnt have millions of h1s being hired in the US. You cant have offshore workers away from family, alone in a foreign country, with an RTO mandate, and glued to a desk in SF, constantly worried about deportation. This is about control, power, and abuse.
- SpicyLemonZest 1y agoWe don't have millions of H1Bs being hired in the US. The exact number isn't tracked but I don't think any estimate puts it at more than a million.
- WarOnPrivacy 1y ago> We don't have millions of H1Bs being hired in the US. I think parent means over the long term. The dynamic they're describing has been in place a long time.
- ggandv 1y agoI just googled and in 2024 there >200k approvals for Indian nationals. That’s one year, one source country. And I believe that’s capped. Over time, it must be millions.
- cuteboy19 1y ago200k is the cumulative number
- franktankbank 1y agoWhen shits tight H1B should be the first thing impacted. Whole point of the program is that there is a supposed lack of supply. Nevermind though because the whole thing has become a machine of bribes grift and kickbacks. No wonder you would jump to its defense as a beneficiary of the machine.
- spacemadness 1y agoYou don’t speak for the entire industry.
- red-iron-pine 1y ago> It often isnt about saving money, it is about having fragile immigrant workers on a leash that you can control with the constant threat of layoff--->deportation and also the carrot of actual sponsorship. two paths to motivation. and some will get made into full-timers -- I've seen it -- but it just centralizes control
