More American Tech Workers Forced To Train Foreign Replacements
Originally published on LonelyConservative.com
Here we go again. Even more American tech workers are being forced to train their foreign replacements. Well, they aren’t exactly forced to train them, but if they don’t they’ll probably lose their jobs sooner and if they talk to the media they will lose their severance packages. Thank the Democrats and the Chamber of Commerce Republicans for this.
Cengage Learning, a multinational education content producer, told 75 of its tech workers in October they would be out of their jobs in January, reported Computer World. In the meantime they’re training their foreign replacements, and if Cengage finds out they’re talking to the media they’ll lose their severance pay.
“I was so furious,” one of the laid off workers told Computer World.
Those laid off are now being shadowed and recorded for training purposes by their replacements working for the contractor, Cognizant, which appear to be foreigners on work visas. Cognizant is a top user of the H-1B visa, according to government data cited by Computer World, although the laid off workers did not know whether their replacements were on H-1B visas. […]
“I think it’s what’s killing the American economy,” one of the laid off workers told Computer World. “The middle class jobs are going away.”
Cengage conceded it laid off 75 workers in a statement to Computer World and transferred 20 employees over to Cognizant, describing it as a “very difficult decision” made because of a need for “a more flexible staffing model” in what is an “evolving” business. (Read More)
Oh yeah, obtaining special visas to bring in foreigners for less money who need to by trained by experienced and skilled Americans is such a flexible staffing model. Maybe someone can bring this up at tonight’s Republican debate. Oh wait, the Wall Street Journal is co-hosting, so don’t hold your breath.
