People need to pay attention to the HB1 Visas and how bad Bill Gates really truly sucks. Gates is a member of NASSCOM.

This is deliberate and intentional crap.

People need to be jumping up and down about the loss of R & D jobs.

I was an IT PM in the late 90's when HB1 Visas started. And you are correct they were a deliberate and intentional attack on the American worker. Specifically, the visas stopped all IT wage momentum into the middle-class AND destroyed any union talk.

I was devastated when Congress passed the legislation but still believed in the system for another ten years. Kucinich voted against, bless his soul.

And why is this hatred for Gates?

What did I write?

Gates is not a member of NASSCOM. And neither does he use H1B visas to bring in IT professionals. In fact if you understood the IT/ITeS business you would know that Microsoft is not a IT services company.

I know what NASSCOM is. But do you?

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 12 years ago

I do. Now do you still need help?

[-] -1 points by smartcapitalist (143) 12 years ago

No you do actually, dear bimbo. Individuals cannot become part of NASSCOM, companies can. Does that help?

[-] 1 points by GirlFriday (17435) 12 years ago

I am aware of this sweetie pie.

Still need help?

[-] -1 points by smartcapitalist (143) 12 years ago

MS hires ppl who are good at their job and not people who are cheap. So when they are using the H1B I would like to think that their is a slight shortage of smart programmers that they are filling up. Besides, less than 15% of their employees are H1B, and many of those are foreign students who studied over here and then joined Microsoft converting their student visas to H1B.

How about they bring back to america but they use machines instead of humans because that is what your demands sound like.

Do you know what IT jobs are?

[-] 1 points by bigbangbilly (594) 12 years ago

Now they need humans to do those jobs but later they (or me if I obtain the skills and/or get angry enough) will built it.

Are you serious? Unemployment in the tech sector is about 4% right now. IT professionals don't need your help, don't waste any of your time protesting for them.

Here is my citation, please provide yours:

Even in a tough labor market, IT is where the jobs are. The unemployment rate for technology jobs was 3.3% in June, compared with a 9.2% unemployment rate overall that month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the most recent edition of its Occupational Outlook Handbook, the BLS said it expects IT employment to grow "much faster than the average" of all occupations through 2018.

all these are statics , more and more IT work out souced to India

In the last month since we last talked here on this, I in-sourced a job, by hiring an American to do what a Venezuelan used to do. I'm personally training him. I wish I could find more like him. What have you done to address your own employment concerns or those of the country in the last month? Learn any new marketable technology skills? I did. I do every week. That's why I'm hiring people. Creating jobs. For people with technology skills.

excellenmt work, we need more people you

Actually many of these jobs are coming back to America. I have been in the industry for 25 years. There are plenty of jobs.

If someone is in IT and they cannot find a job they must suck at what they do.

some excuse to out souce american companies are good in giving ready made fake replies

One of the major problems is that those IT companies that are here is they cannot find enough qualified Americans to fill those jobs, so they have to go outsource. The key to stopping outsourcing is to make Americans more competitive with other nations.

[-] 1 points by vats (107) 12 years ago

this always the lame excuse to hire more foreigners
