Re: To SRC regulars....

[snip]

that may not be because of tribal mentality. Have you observed that it
almost always costs more to hire a white/american than an Indian? It is
possible that mgmt has instructed him to hire Indians and that he has
been hired in the first place to facilitate that. I have come across
references to americans as greedy pigs who demand too much for their
services.


References? As in published in peer reviewed journals or
other scholarly works, perhaps "Journal of Greedy Pig
Research" (abbreviated by workers in the field as JGPR,
of course)? :-)


It is based on what I heard and not what I read. I have also
experienced first hand that it costs more to hire an american than to
hire an Indian on an H1b. Hiring an Indian after he has acquired a
green card may not prove to be cheaper. You just need to look at any
company which hires americans and Indians. The pay is a lot higher and
working conditions a lot better for americans than for equivalently
qualified H1bs. No wonder mgmts love H1bs and americans hate it
equally. To give an example, for 2+ yr that I landed in the USA -I was
living with a roommate in a 1 bedroom apt -but an american might have
taken a single family home mortgage at about the same time. Their
living stds being a lot higher, their expectations are also bound to be
higher.
