I created this policy and I would appreciate your feedback.
My IT job got outsourced to India. It is worst than the manufacturing job being sent out of the USA. Those IT jobs will never be back. Even the IT jobs in the USA aren’t offered to Americans because they go to H1B Visa workers.
There are no incentives for employers to not outsource to India or not hire H1B Visa workers from India.
IT departments are dominated by H1B Visa workers. It is impossible for an American to get an IT job where the hiring manager is from India, which is a majority of the time.
The H1B Visa workers band together and only hire others from their home country.
The IT department takes on the culture that dominates the department. If the IT department is a majority from India, the culture reflect more of a cast system approach.
In many cases. Americans may be the only IT resource on a project team with H1B Visa workers. The H1B Visa workers refuse to speak English (only Hindi) while discussing project activities so the Americans have no idea what is being said in the project work room.
If an American is a threat because the American demonstrates talent, the H1B Visa workers bully the American team member. Also they communicate in large numbers false information to management the American is a poor job performer in order to get rid of the American and replaced with another H1B Visa worker, who happens to be a friend. If 10 H1B Visa say it is a fact, no one questions instead they are believed. It is almost like a mafia-run IT department or IT project when the IT department is 90% or more H1B Visa workers from India.
As a white female, my advice to a white female interested in a career in technology to steer clear. All the jobs go to resources from India who are in India or here with H1B Visa. White women in individual contributor roles are treated like they are third class citizens who have no intelligence.
If I was younger, I would get a trade skill to be a plumber or electrician. I’m too old to change careers now. I’m just trying to work until I pass retirement age. With the IT jobs leaving the USA for India and hiring of only H1B Visa workers from India, I’ll be lucky to get to work another 5 years when I need to work 15 more years.
