eReturned from USA recently. My take on H1b situation and why Americans hate Indians taking up jobs there. (self.india)

I used to work at Amazon USA and returned last month and one of the reasons was toxic behavior of my Indian managers. They exploit employees on visas, knowing how complicated and vulnerable the situation is since they themselves went through it. Honestly, I don't think DJT's reasoning is entirely wrong there are so many Indians in higher positions who mainly hire other Indians, only to abuse them and their visa status. They avoid hiring Americans because they know they can't push them to work 24/7, and Americans won't hesitate to sue if boundaries are crossed.

Another example is Walmart, which is filled with Telugu managers and employees-the only real hiring criteria seems to be "are you Telugu?" and you'll get the job. Same with Gujaratis at Intel, where they prefer only hiring Gujaratis. My classmates from uni used to go yo play cricket with intel employees to secure internships.

Obviously American will be pissed if they see this kind of favouritism they’re not stupid. New H1b rule will definitely reduce the number of these types of employees and managers. I'm happy at least everyone saw how fragile H1b situation is this weekend and it's not as glorious as it seems from outside.

Note: not saying don't go it's definitely a good experience living in a first-world country. And I'm also not saying everyone is like this. I've gotten some really good opportunities to interview, and I'll admit I regret messing a few of them up..life happens. My decision to move back was not entirely because of these issues; it was a personal choice. I just felt I couldn't be on two boats at once, especially when those boats were 24 hours apart by flight and came with visa complications.
