I've read about some people starting to organize against the H-1b and L-LB visas, I'm thinking it might a case of closing the door after the horse has gotten out however. I was working for a company when they decided to "test" outsourcing to India, we were told time and time again that our jobs were safe. So they send a few of us over there to do some training. While we were there, they did a whole re-org of the division. After taking a look and putting two and two together, it was pretty clear that we were doomed. I left first job offer I got. 3 months later, the whole division was shut down. Last job, I was "hinted to" that what they needed was a MS SQL developer, and not a *nix sysadmin. So I was squeezed out of there as well, to be replaced by an H-1B. I just wish an organization would rally around to stop the bleeding. > Yesterday was my 4th wedding anniversary, and being unemployed 'twas > not a happy anniversary.
