It’s not really slavery…
Because you can quit, you just go back to your home country.
And your home country might suck, but if you got a H1B, you’re upper class. No one goes from starving to getting a 100k salary in tech on a H1B.
It’s more like how Americans work on an oil platform. They come here to earn a shit ton of money on a short timeline, then go back home where the money is worth a shit ton more instead of spending here or even “investing” it.
No? You just need an engineering degree from a half decent university or a similarly valuable skill and you’re set, and in a weaker economy there’s no guarantee you can even find work with that degree or skill. I mean, in plenty of places computer science/engineering degrees have only recently come to be seen as valuable.
When someone hangs a carrot over your head and says “if you want to stay, do what I say” that’s a form of slavery.
You’re right and it kills the need for the local citizens to get paid properly when a company has the option to pay way under market for someone who’s home country might suck.
And this isn’t an issue because???
Not ever bad thing is slavery…
But you don’t seem to understand any of this
Nobody said every bad thing was slavery.
Right, but they said h1b’s are modern slavery…
Which means they don’t know how bad either are/were…
But fuck man, if you didn’t understand before this comment, I doubt this will help. It’s not exactly complicated and from your response you didn’t just miss a little thing, you fundamentally dont know how the English language works.
“Not every” means that not only are they wrong here, they’re so fundamentally wrong that they’re most likely long about other modern things they think are “modern slavery”.
It’s like a 9 year old saying homework is modern slavery. At least that makes sense because they’re 9.
n adult that thinks H1bs are modern slavery is a fucking idiot that doesn’t understand either
The English language does not require strawman arguments. Everyone understands what you’re trying to say.
