Murthy’s company is already facing legal threats in the United States because of its hiring practices. According to an November article in ComputerWorld, a judge has approved a lawsuit to proceed against Infosys for discriminating against Americans.
Breitbart: A leading Indian software entrepreneur says Indian companies must accept President Donald Trump’s pro-American policies and must start hiring Americans instead of sending Indian white-collar H-1B visa workers into American job sites.
The startling Feb. 2 recommendation came from N.R. Narayana Murthy, the president and co-founder of the most-criticized H-1B outsourcing firm, Infosys Limited, which has asked for more than 100,000 work visas since 2013. The company uses the visas to send their lower-wage Indian employees to work in U.S. banks, manufacturers and service companies throughout the United States.
“We should stop using H-1B visas and [stop] sending a large number of Indians to those countries to deliver services,” he said in an interview on an Indian affiliate of Microsoft’s MSN network. MORE
Every governmental and business entity worldwide has been carving up the US for years now. If Mr Trump doesn’t stop this we can all say goodbye to whats left of the very idea of this country.
I hate to say this, but I am so tired of calling for customer support for many of the tech companies and speaking to someone who either can’t understand me or I can’t understand them. When a company sends their customer service calls to India, they do us all a disservice. The person who answers the phone to help you MUST be able to converse with you in order to understand the detail you try to convey in order for them to help you.
I have been on the phone for hours (on any given issue) trying to get a what should be a simple matter taken care of. I had my cable box stop working because the person couldn’t understand what I was saying and told me to do something that messed it up.
I’m so sick of it. I had a friend that worked for a bank that moved all their customer service to India. How in the hell could anyone trust them to know how to deal with your money? What could go wrong, huh? They transfer all your money to another account (not yours)? If that was my bank, I’d pull out my money so fast. Shesh.
A friend offered a tip for customer “service” phone lines with thickly-accented staff: at the start when you get the 1 for English 2 for Spanish choice, press 2. That person almost always speaks perfect English.
I am no longer doing business with any company that supports hiring non-Americans. I am done absolutely with their B.S. and will strive to ruin them!
@Claudia, I’m a computer tech and I never use a company’s voice support line if they have an online chat support feature. There’s no ambiguity and I don’t have to say five-charlie-golf-six-four-two-niner-uniform-romeo-xray to ensure they get it correct.
Betcha didn’t know many Indian companies that do tech support for U.S. companies are so overloaded they outsource tech support to… wait for it… U.S. companies. Shocked the hell out of me when I had to call for tech support and got an American-English-speaking person on the other end, and instead of the average 30 minute call, it was handled in 15.
I worked for many years for Philips (Dutch ) their tech support was in the USA a primary competitor was Siemens (German ) tech support also in USA. another primary competitor was General Electric (American) tech support in India. So yeah, sometimes American companies give their was country the boot.
