[quote=bearishgurl][quote=flu].[/quote]Hey, flu . . . I did manage to capture your deleted quote. Would you like me to post it?
:=D
So were you saying here that you WOULD train your replacement if you didn’t initiate your impending absence and you were asked to by your employer?
I can’t quite make out from your post whether you consider yourself to be a “team player” in an industry where these shenanigans are “common.”[/quote]
You know, I thought what I posted and changed my mind because folks have already made up there mind, so do whatever you want to say.
What Disney did was pretty shitty and H1-B abuse does happen in some parts of the business. But like I posted, before I deleted, I’ve never been laid off in the past 20 years and from all the companies that I’ve worked at, primary was in R&D and never had an issue finding something better with better pay 20 years running.
The fact is the matter, is what happens in the industry you read about the worst offenders, and people who aren’t in the industry can extrapolate that into pointing it out to being widespread across industries, even to tech industries unrelated to IT, that’s just being ill-informed. And if well, considering you aren’t in the industry, if that’s what you want to believe, if you say so.
If you want to grind your axe because you enjoy doing that, that’s your choice. Besides you being grossly mischaracterizing the problem, that’s up to you.
And my peers think I’m a team player just fine. That’s why whenever I go, usually a group of people follow me. And like I said, I’ve never had problems finding something better where my total comp package is better than before. And l’m not alone.
For tech/IT, there will always be a fraction of the industry that is cut throat, and there will always be a fraction of the industry in which you have some people that get the short end of the stick because for whatever reasons they are in the wrong place at the wrong time, whether it’s there’s own skills, their timing, or what have you. And those that get screwed tend to be the most vocal about things. But if things were simply that bad that widespread, then the markets would have already taken care of this. People wouldn’t be working in this industry and there wouldn’t be so many people still commanding good comp packages even in this day. So, for those that got the short end of the stick, well sorry. Welcome to life.
