@90aca61c illegals work for less money. It's modern day slavery.
Silicon valley laid off thousands of American workers, kids with thousands of dollars of student debt and then turned around and requested H1-B visa holders to take their place. They still want the work done, but they don't want to pay fair market for it.
And the H1-B workers get paid less, and if they cause problems, the companies will revoke their sponsorship and they'll get yeeted back to their home country.
@7502a322 ya, those H1-B visas are a problem. And I especially donβt like how many of those people are just here for the money.
@90aca61c I don't blame them, the only reason I show up to work is because they pay me.
Don't get me wrong, I wanna do a good job so I can look myself in the mirror, but if the paychecks stopped, I'd have to find something else.
@7502a322 of course. And if I were your employer I wouldnβt hold that against you, especially if you were always a standup dude that gave the company all you could.
I should say I have experience in what you are talking about. I worked for a company in Denver that was making gobs of money, so much that they easily could afford to be really dysfunctional. They wouldnβt hire people on. I had to work through a temp agency and really good people had to work through a temp agency for years.
@7502a322 I ended up quitting to relocate to Alaska in an attempt to save my first marriage. I had to give a little less than two weeks notice because the next company wanted me to start sooner. They got a little tweaked that I wasnβt giving them two weeks notice. I responded to them saying they never gave me any commitment, so I donβt feel real bad about giving 9 days notice instead of 14.
The next day they escorted me out. Those type of companies deserve to fail but they wonβt.
@7502a322 moral of that story is I was way better off relocating than sticking around there hoping they would figure it out.
@90aca61c I think there should be some reciprocity.
If you require two weeks notice before I quit, you should give me two weeks notice before you lay me off.
If you wait until Friday at quitting time to tell me that I have to work all weekend, I should be able to tell you Friday at quitting time that I'm not able to work the weekend.
Most of that type behavior is poor planning on management's part and they want superhuman behavior from you but shitty leadership from them.
@90aca61c yeah, I don't work temp
If it gets bad enough, and I have to do so to take care of my family, sure, I will.
But the temp shit is terrible and companies that abuse it should go bankrupt.
