...as they routinely hire recent immigrants for short observation periods. I worked with them for six years in the field organization and, to this day, cannot understand why a non-European immigrant would ever risk working for them. At least eighty percent of foreign-born employees hired were gone in usually six months to one year - with the occasional two year stint if further observation was necessary. While there, every aspect of their day was observed (web sites, political aspects of pages read, etc.). They are guaranteed to be presented with numerous contrived situations in their day and when the observation was done, they would be slandered and portrayed as less than loyal Americans to their former colleagues - rendering them not viable as service providers in the industry. In my onwn experience, Asians and middle-eastern employees are hit especially hard by this tactic.
