Back when ...The H1-B visa program needs to go away. Back when I was an IT Project Manager I had 10 positions on my team. I was forced to use 2 of those as interns and 2 as H1-B visa holders. They were paid the same which was about half what the starting salary of a zero experience college grad or military trained veteran. They were high turnover positions as they would be constantly looking for better employment and they could find in. Upper management was pushing for more of those positions while they gave out raises barely above the inflation rate while they gave each other quarterly bonuses. tsquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737130316088634658noreply@blogger.com
