Silicon Valley is not much better -- it chooses to keep immigrant engineers from specific countries employed at the same job for 10-15 years at an almost fixed wage by utilizing the broken immigration policies of the US, which have country-specific quotas. The only reason most of these people (myself included) don't speak out is that they have been schooled to be grateful for the fact that they have a job in a "developed" country. ["If you don't like it, just leave!"] Which is, admittedly, our situation -- so we STFU. It feels like one of those dreams when you want to open your mouth and scream...but no sound comes out. I'd rather work in Switzerland any day, even with their proposed system (which is supposed to come into play after 3 years, and has quotas).
