Manam cheysukunna penta kadha Idhi..

[Peruthopaniemundhi]

Just take a pause and think what’s changed in H1b and H4, Enduku intha hate vachindhi…

COVID mundu not even 5% of hate was there, what changed.

1. Misuse of Contracting Roles

Summary of the Problem:

• During COVID, many unqualified or overstretched individuals took on multiple contract roles.
• Reporting structures became blurred; people were working under other national leads without sufficient skill, time, or accountability, this exposed how unskilled Indian tech workers are!
• Short-term delivery survived during the pandemic but long-term quality and standards suffered.

Root Causes:

• Lack of vetting in remote hiring.
• Over-reliance on third-party vendors that prioritize placement over skills.
• Lack of oversight by hiring managers.

Impact:

• Decline in trust one one nationality in tech industry 
• Damaged reputation of remote/contract workers.
• Industry pushback and tightening scrutiny post-COVID.

2. H4 EAD Misuse

Summary of the Problem:

• While H4 EAD was meant to help spouses of H-1B holders contribute to the economy, it has been exploited.
• Some H4 EAD holders are not fully participating in work — someone else (e.g., the actual H-1B spouse) may do the work.
• Managers knowingly hire for low wage, often favoring familiar vendors for kick backs.
• Work gets done at the last minute with poor communication, causing stress and anxiety for leads and teams.

Root Causes:

• Lack of real-time accountability and technical interviews.
• Vendors focusing on speed and margins, not quality.
• No consequences for poor collaboration or fraudulent behavior.

Impact:

• Erosion of team morale.
• Rising distrust toward work-from-home or contractor setups.
• Reinforcement of stereotypes and increased anxiety among project leads.

3. Favoritism, Commission, and Vendor Bias

Summary of the Problem:

• Unethical practices: Some TLs and managers prioritize vendor relationships that offer kickbacks or commissions.
• Nepotism or favoritism leads to unqualified hires.
• Meanwhile, highly qualified US graduates, especially entry-level talent, are struggling to break in.

Root Causes:

• Lack of transparency in hiring practices.
• Inadequate checks for conflict of interest.
• Pressure on managers to fill roles quickly — not effectively.

Impact:

• High-potential local graduates being sidelined.
• Long-term de-skilling of teams.
• Damaged credibility of managers, and breakdown of diversity and meritocracy.

****Who’s to Blame?***

Everyone — in part.

• Managers and TLs who knowingly compromised integrity.
• Vendors who prioritized profits over quality.
• Contractors who accepted roles they couldn’t handle.
• Bystanders — good people who stayed silent.

“Silence in the face of malpractice is complicity.”

Consequences:

• Growing hatred and division within teams.
• Mental health toll on responsible employees.
• Loss of faith in leadership and corporate culture.
• Local graduates losing hope, leading to brain drain or industry switch.

What Needs to Happen Now:

1. Reform in hiring practices – including anonymous coding interviews and third-party evaluations.
2. Stronger audits and compliance on vendor relationships.
3. Mentorship and internship pipelines for domestic grads.
4. Support for whistleblowers who flag unethical behavior.
5. Cultural reset – where performance, communication, and ethics are rewarded.

Multiple jobs cheyadam issue kaadu antav!! 😀😀

[Thokkalee]

Ivanni kaadu… 

Companies got no interest loans from the banks and govt to prop up the economy during Covid.. they didn’t know what to do with that money and started investing in all sorts of projects and initiatives..

they hired left and right including freshers, h4 ead’s etc etc and even ppl with fake GC’s and fake citizenship cards.. H1’s did multiple jobs..

with high demand, they raised salaries too.. gave remote option due to covid to avoid following safety protocols and to keep the workforce happy.. 

now the funds dried up and they are tightening the screws..

Blame the ones who created F1 H1 H4 or any other visas. When the country can't handle more immigrants, just pause all those visas. People who are poor, don't want to go back once they tasted the life here

This is the correct answer. Covid time lo companies hired people left and right with big salaries.. Now with high interest rates for 3 continuous years all the funds have dried up and companies are using AI and tariffs as reasons to cut down.. This is not any one's doing.. Whenever there is unemployment in IT field or a recession it is a common trend to blame immigrants for taking the local's jobs.. IT lo primary gaa Indians ekkuva kabatti Indians meedaki blame potadi natural gaa ante..

[ManOffSteel]

If anything H4_EAD has done a lot of damage to the perception of Indians.. When they started seeing Indian H4 wives working in Macys and other general local jobs people started blaming Indians more and more..

H4 EAD was OBOZO's doing. There are no criteria, just handing over work permits.
