These jobs are being offshored to India. You can tell by how they're massively hiring there.

Worked with Indians. Extremely aggressive, yet capable enough and organized. Not surprised. With ChatGPT making hiring in the US far more expensive yet inadequate enough to make hiring Indians a necessity. Just know your security both online and offline if you have to work with them in your ranks. They won't stop with just eating your lunch.

There is little substance to this comment other than stereotypes about India. I don't like this kind of generalization -- there are over a billion Indians, let's not lump them all together in a caricature

I think it was a fair characterization, if only because employers know that H1-B visaholders are desperate to not be deported (i.e. must maintain employment/sponsorship).

Wages are kept suppressed, keeping people (citizens and not) desperate.

The people that have (e.g.) immigrated into America, but not naturalized yet, are in extremely perilous positions, beholden to a corporate entity which would rather employ them (for wayyyyy less salary) than cater to free-er citizens.
