The Indian tech worker H-1B visa scam (Good Read)

[OhioChick]

NEW DELHI, India — When news about an American company hiring Americans gets widespread coverage in India, there’s clearly something unusual going on.

So why would Indian newspapers, TV stations and financial websites be interested — arguably more interested than most US media — in the announcement by New Jersey-based IT firm Cognizant Technology Solutions that it will create 10,000 new American jobs?

The short answer is that most of Cognizant’s 166,400 staff are based in India. Only 29,000 work in the US, mostly at the firm’s headquarters in Teaneck, NJ.

Cognizant is a major player in the global outsourcing industry, and India is the world’s outsourcing hub. But most of its revenues come from the US.

1. "Insurers and states hired Cognizant to help code online insurance exchanges."

Um. That sure went well!
Now they are looking for someone else to come in and fix the mess that they created. This is very common on most projects that utilize outsourcers employing a high percentage of H-1b workers. Those in this field know they suck.
