One former Google contractor told GB News how jobs from his team were being shipped to India, Ireland and the Philippines.
Former Google contractor Stephen Vivien said it was mean, harsh and dehumanizing that his entire team’s work was sent to India, the Philippines and Ireland when he was asked to train his successor. Vivien said this in an H-1B documentary by GB News, which interviews American technicians, most of whom are Indian, who have lost their jobs due to H-1B. The documentary also aims to explore the differences in hiring patterns after people of Indian origin become CEOs of top companies.Vivian said he found that every time an Indian was hired, they shared confidential interview questions with other Indians, and the network thrived on this “dishonest” approach.A former FedEx employee told GB News on condition of anonymity that things began to deteriorate after Raj Subramaniam became CEO because there was a plan to cut staff. There was a lot of offshoring happening and her job went to India. She said her team had many managers and they thought one of them was in India visiting family, but in fact the manager was in India training replacements for American workers.Navdeep Meamber, an Indian-American lawyer interviewed for the documentary, said that the fact that the CEO is Indian does not affect hiring because the CEO does not know who to hire and these decisions are made by lower-level employees. But she confirmed that many tech workers are returning to India as part of offshoring. Member said life in India is much better than in the United States because there are several domestic workers and Indians are going back because they get the same salary working for the same employer in India.Immigration expert Rosemary Jenks said in the documentary that President Donald Trump could not completely stop H-1B visas when Congress launched the program, but at least Trump took the frustrating step of imposing a $100,000 fee on all new H-1B arrivals from outside the United States. But that doesn’t reduce the numbers because foreign students already in the United States are not affected by the new fees and enter the job market through the OPT program.
