It had to end up this way. The H-1B visa program has been abused for a long time by companies and our government has always just nodded along. I can't believe how these staffing agencies openly discriminate against hiring American citizens for jobs in their own country! That has to be illegal.

You had some real doozies for co-workers. People you work with are always a mixed bag. I worked with a lot of back-stabbers in my last job. It was a sad ending to an otherwise decent IT career. Its bitter, yeah, something I'll always remember.

After NAFTA and Y2k, it was the beginning of the end for IT jobs for Americans. Outsourcing and offshoring were cheaper options for US companies and it was okay for them to do. Our government never stood up for the American worker and 25 years later its still the same situation. The writing is on the wall when it it comes to working in the IT field.
