Who is going to create a job if you tax profit away in a global competition against foreign companies that pay 0% tax?

Taxes imposed by owners on workers are the highest taxes of them all. If corporations didn't tax their employees, then we wouldn't need to tax corporations at all.

What owners? You are working on your own free will. You and that Jazz dude seriously don't understand freedom or what?

Yes, so then the rule can be everyone is paid exactly the same thing. If you don't like that, you are welcome to not work. Sounds fair?

The argument that people should have zero say in the work conditions other than a single accept or reject is ridiculous and hypocritical. You would never tolerate being forced to make such a dichotomic choice.

I have trained H-1B's before. If I were to say "no," I would be out of a job the next day.

Welcome training your replacement. You can mislead him and set him up for failure while collecting a paycheck and interviewing at other places. Since you are training your replacement, you can be open about taking hours off to interview for you next job.

After you set your replacement out for failure, you can consult with your prior company for a very large hourly rate. After all, you are the only one who actually knows the system and what constructs are honeypots you placed in the system to mislead your replacement. You should place these honeypots before your job is in danger.

Sure, fix the system, but do so in a way that makes the company even more dependent on you. Put bytecode in blobs in the database where only you have the source and the bytecode is obfuscated. Call it dynamic programming.

The company will have to choose between writing the whole system from scratch, which they will never do, or paying you thousands of dollars for every trivial change. Meanwhile, you have a better day job for security.

Train or no severance,ASSHOLES!
You will all soon be trainers of ROBOTS!

Dan, that is evil genius territory, and better than such a company deserves!

Fuck, I hate it when I have to agree with Dan!

I would refuse to train, and then go see an employment lawyer, and do everything I can to have the appropriate person at the company prosecuted.

It's called a co incident.

This is a Unregulated,Free Market,"Corporations are people" America.
So fuck off Craig Diangelo,Republicans & Breitbart.
Don't like it? Get a job in China.

I agree. Quigley, apologize or get shot.

Employers NEED to be afraid of lawsuits and prosecution for doing this. This will not happen until people stand up against their employers.

My question to anyone who was replaced by H1-B. If your higher ups ask you to train your replacement wouldn't you just quit the company? It should not make any difference if it is H1-b or citizen? What do you think you will benefit from training your replacement?

As someone who went through this-your severance package is held up. For me that was 7 months salary plus medical and other benefits , plus vesting of my shares that did not vest yet. Either train and get signoff from the "trainee" or lose your entire package.

Not the best-at that time I wrote to everyone from Diane Fianstein to congress critters-only response I got was request for funding during camapign elections. The dem reponse to this issue as well as the feminazism is what slowly drove me from the dems.

Then you wonder why trump won-he is the only one talking about this. Even the guy who is now running for congress is running on the repub ticket. Luckily I am not a white male, so I can talk about this without being called a racist. That is where the dems lose a lot of voters-we cannot even discuss issues without being called a deplorable, irredeemable racist etc. heck even Hilalry said the same.

At least those of us in white collar move on-I have since moved on into management. But people with no degrees and skills who are flooded with the illegals who are willing to work below minimum wage and no benefits and no rules and no recourse to the law-who is going to hire them-when you have a surplus of illegals- and what are they going to do. if they open their mouth-they are racist neandrathals looking to going back to slavery.

Something gotta give-too many affected people with no hope-either let Trump do what he promised or this country is going to explode. A bunch of armed 2nd amendment folks vs SJW snowflakes-that should be interesting.

FortWayne says

If liberals could, they'd replace us all and put us on welfare so we can keep voting for them. Those people are fucked up.

Left and right support H1B and offshoring equally. They must both go.

My friend was replaced by two H1B guys from India.
He was working at Tandem Computer, which was bought by Compaq, so then he worked for Compaq.
Compaq was merged with HP, and Carly Fiorina decided to replace him and other American workers with foreigners.
He had to train the two guys who replaced him; he said they weren't so brilliant either.
He was pretty bummed out; he had two kids ready for college and a mortgage.

There should be a law: for every H1B scab hired by the private sector, two Federal workers should be fired.

Better yet of course is not hiring foreigners to replace American workers.
