We’ve all been fed a lie that there’s an acccounting shortage. Why? So that they can justify offshoring our jobs. Yet left and right we see lay offs. I’d say the H1B program has adversely affected US JOBS

I for one am calling this out. And all you need to do is spread the word. No action yet, we just need everyone to be aware of our rights.

We’re being laid off while they offshore jobs and pocket huge profits

This is out of control at this point. It’s a blatant attack on our jobs.

H1-B is a visa for foreign workers to come to the US, working onshore, with US salary. It is very separate from offshored jobs.

I think you need to learn the difference between offshore and onshore jobs 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I believe this. This was how they justified the Y2K hiring of IT workers from other countries. I worked for a company in the 90s who did this. They had no intention of ever hiring a US worker for their IT positions. This actually makes sense to me. It might not be for offshore positions but it absolutely could be for positions within the US.

I had a couple interviews for American companies being a Brazilian early this year

I have 16 years in audit, being 10 In big4 and the last 6 as an internal auditor

I didn't advanced in those recruitment process, but they were serious considering hiring foreign people, relocate and sponsor the Visa.

So, I believe that there is a shortage

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).
