US IT Worker Files Hiring Lawsuit Against Infosys, Class Action Proposed

itwbennett writes "Brenda Koehler is a VMware-certified professional network engineer with a master's degree in information systems and 17 years of experience. You might think that would qualify her for a lead VMware/Windows administrator, but Indian outsourcing firm Infosys apparently didn't. And Koehler has filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that Infosys ignored her qualifications and eventually hired a Bangladeshi worker to staff a position she was qualified for. Koehler and her lawyers are asking the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to allow a class-action lawsuit against Infosys, with 'thousands' of potential plaintiffs in the case, according to the lawsuit, filed Thursday."

    it starts with the letter u. what am i thinking about, IT douchebags?

    I can't think of any English word that meets those requirements.
    You're thinking about "union", but "union" doesn't rhyme with "ion".

    Just like a typical union worker, you've:

    1: Failed to get the basics right.
    2: Demanded far too much time, money, and attention for your output.
    3: Managed to act like an asshole in the brief interaction you've had with other people on the matter.

    "Web programmer" that's pretty funny. Do you call secretaries "office document engineers" as well?
