    Because you can quit, you just go back to your home country.

    When someone hangs a carrot over your head and says “if you want to stay, do what I say” that’s a form of slavery.

    And your home country might suck, but if you got a H1B, you’re upper class. No one goes from starving to getting a 100k salary in tech on a H1B.

    You’re right and it kills the need for the local citizens to get paid properly when a company has the option to pay way under market for someone who’s home country might suck.

    It’s more like how Americans work on an oil platform. They come here to earn a shit ton of money on a short timeline, then go back home where the money is worth a shit ton more instead of spending here or even “investing” it.

    And this isn’t an issue because???
