One former Google worker told GB News how his team’s jobs moved to India, Ireland and the Philippines.
Stephen Vivian, a former Google contractor, said it was despicable, cruel and inhumane when he was asked to train his replacement and his entire team’s jobs were sent to India, the Philippines and Ireland.
Vivian said this in a documentary on the H-1B for GB News, which interviewed American technicians who lost their jobs to the H-1B, most of whom were Indians. The documentary also aims to explore the difference in employment patterns after individuals of Indian origin became CEOs of major companies.Vivian said he found that when an Indian is hired, he shares confidential interview questions with other Indians and the network thrives in this “insincere” way.A former FedEx employee anonymously told GB News that after Raj Subramaniam became CEO, things started to get worse little by little, as there was a program to downsize the company. A lot of offshoring has happened, and her job also went to India. She said her team had several managers, and they thought one of them was visiting family in India, but the manager was actually training replacements for American workers in India.
Navdeep Membre, a lawyer of Indian origin, who was interviewed for the documentary, said that CEOs being of Indian origin does not affect hiring because CEOs do not know who is hiring, and these decisions are made by lower-level employees. But she confirmed that many tech workers are returning to India as part of offshoring. Life in India is much better than the US as there are many domestic services that one gets, Miyamber said, adding that Indians come back because they get the same salary with the same employer working from India.President Donald Trump couldn’t completely stop H-1B visas when Congress started the program, but at least Trump took the discouraging step of imposing a $100,000 fee on all new H-1B entries from outside the United States, immigration expert Rosemary Jenks said in the documentary. But this did not reduce the number because foreign students already in the United States are not subject to the new fees and enter the labor market through the optional practical training program.
