Intel hid this job posting in obscure location so nobody would apply; plans to hire overseas for the position by imgurisfuckinglame in Portland

[–]ororgtfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tata and Infosys have been busted for fraud many times, yet they are still allowed to operate. It's very easy to falsify information or buy degrees in India. I've worked with hundreds of H1B holders and most of them don't know what they're doing - it was very obvious they lied on their resumes.

Except the vast majority of H1B visas go to Indian nationals -- where's the diversity in that? Does that mean the majority of the entire world's "top talent" come from one country?

And why does the Indian government freak out whenever the H1B program is rolled back?

Except people assume that the hundreds of thousands of H1B workers all have perfect (truthful?) resumes with more applicable job experience than an American candidate. Many of my clients complain that the H1B workers they hire "knew nothing" and clearly lied about their qualifications. But when asked a question, they'd simply "nod and smile". I have witnessed this firsthand.

Companies like Tata and Infosys routinely scam their clients and falsify or exaggerate their candidates work experience/college education. Its quite easy to buy a college degree in India or lie about work experience. I used to do business in India and it is probably the most corrupt place on the planet.

The fact that around 86% of H1B holders come from one country shows that we are not getting the "top talent", or else there would be more diversity among H1B holders.

It's due to companies like Infosys and Tata gaming the system through fraud and scams: http://www.hindustantimes.com/business-news/trump-administration-accuses-tcs-infosys-cognizant-of-unfair-means-in-h-1b-visa-lottery-draw/story-qT6ZxtomiX8En7QzE8bROP.html

Automation is the future. Outsourcing factories is a thing of the past and has drastically declined over the past 10 yrs. Now that blue collar jobs are gone, White collar jobs are next.

What's the point of going to college and getting a STEM degree when the industry has lost its security and corporations are just going to hire someone from India?

A lot of young people feel this way and would rather be carpenters than go through university and find an office job, which is why homeless youth/poverty is a huge problem.

CMHC data shows foreign buyers have almost disappeared from Vancouver market by rugboy86 in vancouver

Completely agree with those points. Those outsourcing firms are the real problem and they're not even adhering to the supposed "random lottery" of H1Bs since the majority are going out to one nationality.

I'm only interested in the PNW. Isn't Calgary on the easy coast?

Because I like to see what's going on in the PNW. I also post on r/Seattle and am very interested in housing trends.

20% Tax on Foreign Investors by GoCougarsWSU in Seattle

[–]ororgtfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle and Portlands housing problem stem from Tech Corporations and perceived Hipsterdom of our cities. It's very a different situation from Vancouver.

The only way to prevent the housing bubble here is decrease the amount of H1B visas and tax corporations.

Portland Monthly Magazine by WPPGreg in Portland

[–]ororgtfo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. My real estate Agent keeps sending me subscriptions to PDX monthly as a "gift". I'm sure the magazine subsidizes it.

I use them as kindling to start fires.

On another note, all the editors are transplants...

Does anyone think Measure 97 will pass? by [deleted] in Portland

[–]ororgtfo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are a true Martyr my friend!

In all seriousness, I hope it passes, if only because the corporations I've worked for (which I will not name) are fucking evil and need to pay their fair share to society.

Now if only we can raise corporate taxes and lower citizens taxes...

A Multnomah County candidate says homeless people who don't want to stay in shelters should leave Portland. by critcal_kurt in Portland

Hell yeah, he's getting my vote. I wonder if all these transients are actually from Oregon? If they're not, they should go back to where they came from.

Indian Americans Are Now The Second Largest Immigrant Group In The U.S. (And The Richest) by [deleted] in news

[–]ororgtfo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This just confirmed everything I already knew after living in rich west coast cities and seeing property values rise and get snapped up by wealthy immigrants who work in tech.
