Does it seem like another way billion dollar companies can frick American workers?


Sure....I pay a company like Infosys 45k/yr to do the job that is typically hired at 60-65K in America....Infosys then farms it out to a contractor sitting in Bangladesh that gets paid who knows what because Infosys won't tell you that part.

All legal and no visa or other immigration docs required.

ETA The guy in Bangladesh interacts with your company just like any other employee other than the fact that his pay check doesn't come from your company it comes from Infosys.

That really screws America in general in forms of tax dollars....at least H1-B workers are spending their money in America.

I don't have a specific problem with outsourcing, though I'm not a fan of it. If enough companies do that, it will increase the cost of the service in India and similar countries (already has, I think). There is also a noticeable different in average quality of service in those offshoring scenarios too.

It's not the same at all.

They also consume services which cost tax dollars to provide.
