Title: Last Task After Layoff at Disney: Train Foreign Replacements

ORLANDO, Fla. — The employees who kept the data systems humming in the vast Walt Disney fantasy fief did not suspect trouble when they were suddenly summoned to meetings with their boss.

While families rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and searched for Nemo on clamobiles in the theme parks, these workers monitored computers in industrial buildings nearby, making sure millions of Walt Disney World ticket sales, store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a hitch. Some were performing so well that they thought they had been called in for bonuses.

Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.

“I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly,” said one former worker, an American in his 40s who remains unemployed since his last day at Disney on Jan. 30. “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job. I still can’t grasp it.”

The layoffs at Disney and at other companies, including the Southern California Edison power utility, are raising new questions about how businesses and outsourcing companies are using the temporary visas, known as H-1B, to place immigrants in technology jobs in the United States. These visas are at the center of a fierce debate in Congress over whether they complement American workers or displace them.

According to federal guidelines, the visas are intended for foreigners with advanced science or computer skills to fill discrete positions when American workers with those skills cannot be found. Their use, the guidelines say, should not “adversely affect the wages and working conditions” of Americans. Because of legal loopholes, however, in practice companies do not have to recruit American workers first or guarantee that Americans will not be displaced.

Too often, critics say, the visas are being used to import immigrants to do the work of Americans for less money, with laid-off American workers having to train their replacements.

“The program has created a highly lucrative business model of bringing in cheaper H-1B workers to substitute for Americans,” said Ronil Hira, a professor of public policy at Howard University who studies visa programs and has testified before Congress about H-1B visas.

A limited number of the visas, 85,000, are granted each year, and they are in hot demand. Technology giants like Microsoft, Facebook and Google repeatedly press for increases in the annual quotas, saying there are not enough Americans with the skills they need.

Many American companies use H-1B visas to bring in small numbers of foreigners for openings demanding specialized skills, according to official reports. But for years most top recipients of the visas have been outsourcing or consulting firms based in India, or their American subsidiaries, which import workers for large contracts to take over entire in-house technology units — and to cut costs. The immigrants are employees of the outsourcing companies.

In 2013, those firms — including Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services and HCL America, the company hired by Disney — were six of the top 10 companies granted H-1Bs, with each one receiving more than one thousand visas.

H-1B immigrants work for less than American tech workers, Professor Hira said at a hearing in March of the Senate Judiciary Committee, because of weaknesses in wage regulations. The savings have been 25 percent to 49 percent less in recent cases, he told lawmakers.

Be interesting to see who the supporters of this are.

What would be interesting would be to see who the big money men are behind these 3rd world headhunter companies.

And which congresscritters and US Senators they own or rent.

It's always cronyism when you are dealing with royal families. The new Royal familes are the international bankers. The prime difference is they are not stuck with ruling just one country. They are going to rule the world.

BMW and Mercedes now have horrible repair records,with Volvo in a rush to join them at the bottom.

It ain't because Swedish or German workers are half-ass engineering and assembling the cars. It's because of Muslim immigrants with the IQ of a slow camel and the speed of a sloth being hired to replace the natives.

Isn't Disney ran by big progressive gay liberals?

Yes,and so are Microsoft,Apple,and every other high tech company in America.

If you don't believe they are "progressive",just ask them and they will tell you about how they hate racism,sexism,country music,and haters,and brag about how they give millions to save the environment so they can have a place to ski.

I used to order books and CDs from a particular company. The ordering program was flawless and easy to use. Last year I ordered about $500 worth of books through them. About seven months ago they instituted a new program apparently written by a foreign operation. Since that time I have been unable to place an order. I wrote repeated them E-mail asking them to junk the new program and reinstitute the old program, which was flawless. They repeatedly wrote back telling me that their new program was superb. I can't make it work. It's cost them about $400 dollars worth of business from me alone this year. During this time they have sent me numerous E-mails asking me for business. I have found other sources to make purchases. To hell with them. People are God damned stupid.

I just went to a birthday party today and ran into a relative by marriage, stepmoms brother in law, who until 2 months ago, was head of a team at Microsoft. For the last number of years, he's been watching all his guys under him get replaced, after they trained their replacements, and yes, they were from India.

Oh, I asked him how he felt about this as it was going on, he was real ok with it, heck, he traveled to India a few times a year, went first class, said he loved that 3rd world cesspool, everything was wonderful. Myself, I thought he was a POS for being so cavalier about what he was a part of, but bit my tongue for peace in the family.

Well, now that they have seen fit to eliminate him from his work, and get replaced by a wonderful Indian guy, I can't help but laugh at him. He was about six months from 20 years also, and somehow, that put a real hemmerhroid on his retirement plans. Almost brought a tear to my eye. (Not really)

And you call Microsoft for advice on something, or they call you, and you can't understand a word they say. But little Billy Gates is on a personal mission to unite the world. His programs no longer are worth a damn, but he has a greater mission now since he married that chick. He wants to be a world leader now, something more suitable to his grandiosity.

Pericles is Exhibit "A" of the typical lib-commie's aversion to reality. AS he strolls thru a fully stocked supermarket..... drives his Lincoln...home to his air-conditioned home...plops at his desk...and taps keys on his computer.

I have a old friend who is a typical lib college prof ("teaching" young pods about the "rights" of transvestism and homosexuality, and the "evils" of capitalism, heterosexuals, and Christians.) This same hypocrite extolls the very same political positions of Pericles...from the luxury of his burb home as he drives two vehicles (one electric of course), pops open bottles of aged wine and he cheers on the Mets on his Big Screen Tee-Bee.

Speaking of "useful idiots"...

"Mention"? No, we merely reinforce both the Old *and* New Testament's clear condemnation of sodomites (is "gay rights" now a new, trendy crusade for you and your fellow propagandists??)

Jesus condemned the love of money, and the money changers who tried to turn the Temple of the Lord into an outdoors mall.

Jesus did not discriminate against nor favor *any* class of people -- neither the poor OR rich. The poor are no more noble nor have a pipeline to heaven then anyone else.

Maybe you should try understanding the Bible and scripture beyond a purely Marxist perspective. It might help you address your deceptions, hatred, and false notion of the Gospel.

When we had more people in unions Americans had a better economy. As soon as we started to have less union labor the income gap increased.

Now that they are dome exporting blue collar jobs out they are going after the wehite collar jobs and now the GOP rank and file feel betrayed. Enjoy! How's that capitalism treating your outsourced job? Can't find work in your chosen profession? Tough shit - the world needs ditch diggers, too! Oh, wait that is a job for illegal alien labor.

Do you really think anybody believes the economy is tied to Union membership when it's just the opposite. And since you haven't figured it out yet non-union people can actually be better off financially than union people even though they may make less per hour. It's because they don't have to pay outrageous union dues dummy!

You know I'm curious as to why the people you (and union people) vote for are trashing the economy and putting the "Union Brethren" out of work and on Welfare and Food Stamps? (Talk about being thrown under the "high speed rail" train/bus). Look what all those union dues have gotten them and they haven't figured out yet they've been screwed. Maybe one day they will wise up but I'm not counting on it, they believe the lies as much as you do.

Capitalism works in these cases exactly the way it should. GOVERNMENT is the problem. They should be #1: protecting our borders, controlling immigration tightly and intelligently. #2: Have a system of tariffs and import/export taxes in place to protect jobs and ensure quality of imports. The government is not in place to protect the profits and ensure the safe conduct of business/commerce outside the US borders. It is in place to protect the people living legally within its borders, abiding by its laws.
