Re: Agree
Disney firing loads of people and hiring H-1Bs..
They're not even trying to hide what they're doing any more. And, in the US, this sort of thing is explicitly prohibited (bringing in H1B to take an American job). But, since no Americans would work at the salary they're offering, which is well below a living wage, they get to hire H1Bs ("See? No qualified US applicants!").
When I worked at a now-defunct large California based networking company, they posted the H1B jobs with ridiculous requirements: Masters degree and 10 years of experience, $40k. Now, this was in the 90s, but still...the pay they were offering and the qualifications required were so far out of alignment as to be farcical.
I'm not sure how they get around paying far less than the going rate, but I suspect it has to do with Disney being the only employer for that specialty within many miles. But, since H1Bs seem to be handed out like candy, it doesn't matter anyway.
