Train Your Own Replacement
An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo reports on how some employers are asking the workers they're laying off to train their foreign replacements - having them dig their own unemployment graves. 'Almost one in five information technology workers has lost a job or knows someone who lost a job after training a foreign worker, according to a new survey by the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers.' It looks like a real dilemma where if you refuse to hire your replacement, you are fired without severance and are ineligible for unemployment benefits, and if you quit, you don't receive severance and are ineligible for unemployment."
Bah! Those god-damned foreigners are always stealing our jobs. Stinking American scum taking food from my mouth. I lost my job to offshoring, and I'm pissed.
I don't see anything unreasonable about them asking you to work "midnight to 8am". In fact those are the sort of hours I prefer. But the salary cut, that's just wrong.
Are you really this moronic or is that a pineapple up your ass?
in a country which was built using slaves, I expect them to treat foreign workers no differently than you proposed. Spoken like a true american, dude.
I guess this is what comes out of just 300 years of history and culture, and came maily out of breeding stock which was once europe's wretched huddled masses.
