And how many people manipulate their resumes to put in as many buzzwords as possible to make them pass the resume shredder? Then a real person looks at the resume and decides we are lying.
I am not talking about individuals, I am talking about *companies* doing this to work around the written intent of the H-1B laws. The law states that they can only hire H-1B's if they cannot find a citizen who fits the requirements. They pull it off by making rigged reqirements.
We need to educate our bosses to our value, that someone with a 10 year old computer in India, with a two hour commute each way, and power outages 4 hours a day, with crappy half-ass training in Oracle, CAN'T really do our job.
Their next meal depends on doing just that.
2-hour commute each way? Sounds like the 405 LA freeway to me.
