Company is not doing good and cancel H1B abruptly. One of my friend, who was planning to join (not sure why?), he resigned his company and next day his H1B got revoked by Sears. He is in big problem now.
One other friend, who was good developer, as soon as he left company, company revoked his H1B. Company promises people lot many things before joining and later its all garbage.
Most of the tech staff for that kind of thing isn't even in the US. There's a fairly large SHI (Sears Holdings India) office that does much of the development. Sure, there are teams in Hoffman in the US, but the bulk of it is in India directly. No need for H1Bs when you're paying India employees a quarter or less of what a US employee would make.
Between that and TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) handling the staffing requirements internally, Sears directly doesn't have to involve itself with H1B's.
Only because the minimum wage for H-1B is over $60k/year.
Which as another poster mentioned, is basically undercutting US wages.
folks
the reality is that Sears pays its H1 staff fairly. they still play the tech hiring game fair.
"Third world developers for third world systems."
for a third world company
Third world developers for third world systems.
for developers? because they can pay them less than an american developer. if it wasn't bad enough they pay their associates minimum wage they also undercut other american workers in high earning fields like programming.
why is sears hiring people on h1b visas in the first place?
