Laid off workers should focus on organizing and making companies afraid to hire H1-B types and sending jobs to whatever 3rd world craphole is the flavor of the day.

I was just on Dice.com and noticed that at least in my area Denver/Boulder, CO it seemed as if Dice was simply overrun with recruiting firms, etc. with no actual companies posting jobs. I can see why no one would actually use Dice anymore, no wonder the job postings are down so much – it’s practically worthless.

Dice is now primarily a platform for H-1B and L-1 scams and Desi bodyshops. I paid for the “Advantage” plan and got to see who was viewing my resume. It was mostly Desi bodyshops.

These outfits take the solid resumes of American developers like myself, and paste an H-1B or L-1 candidate’s name on top, usually a guy from India living out of a suitcase.

The Indian recruiters need to demonstrate that they can’t find local talent, so they need a stack of resumes from Americans that they can reject so that they can be legally compliant with the law.

The bodyshops also create fantasy requirements that no person can ever fill. I had a Desi firm pitch me a gig requiring 10 years of .Net/10 years of Java/10 years of Oracle/10 years of SQL-Server, supposedly at Dell in Austin.

These are phony jobs, and suddenly a kid from Mumbai can show up with, oddly enough, THE EXACT SKILLS for the req. He gets a cursory phone interview by another Desi inside the company, and the next day can be legally working in the U.S. The kid will net about $23/hr, the rest of the bill rate going to the bodyshops, sometimes 2 or 3 of them.

My company is hiring — in India. They haven’t replaced any of us yet, but they’ve told us that they will replace those who leave via “natural attrition” with workers in India. It’s tough competing with someone who makes one-third of what you do. Glad I don’t own a home with an oppressive mortgage or have a family to support. Prepare to accept a lower standard of living
