H1-B Visa fraud
about 4 months ago

Friends,

To report any suspicious activity or to make a confidential reporting of immigration or customs violations, please call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423).

Please make the call. This is the right time to make the call. These days immigrations dept. is raiding companies for illegal activities.

Remember the 5 firms that ICE raided in regards to H1B visa fraud last week. 11 of them are under arrest and they may serve up to 15 to 20 years of prison time.

Its not just the employer who is breaking the law, employees are supporting them too. As far as L1 visa interview goes, they know from the forum what questions they are asked and they know what to answer even if it is not the right answer.

For L1 visa they have to say they are working on a proprietary tool and have specialized skills to get the visa even if they don?t have those skills. This is fraud and they need to go to jail.

Remember the only way to stop these guys is by putting not 11 but atleast 1100 in jail. They can afford to pay as mush fine as required without any issues and still continue the same old unethical practice. It?s only the jail time that they are scared off and which will make them stop.

So guys if you are suspicious of any illegal activities on H1 or L1 please call ICE. You can call from public phone and don?t have to reveal your identity.

Please make the call. For those you already have a job, you may be the next one to get fired.

Please spread the word and let your friends, family, relatives know about this. Email this content to everybody that you know.

Please help.

Wrong, everyone has the right to work, they pay into the tax system regardless of US status. Companies and the individual worker should not be held to pay a fine.

Your problem is with L1 or H1? And your cribbing is that employers are paying less for L1 and getting work done for less? So people who do the work need to go to jail? While who are not skilled enough to work and put companies in bankruptcy?

Dirty RIF's
about 4 months ago

My condolences to you all. I feel we need to create laws to protect workers rights & make employment situations more transparent. Now on my 3rd RIF, I researched my Fortune 100 company and found they were in good fiscal standing - however if I had had more transparency, I would have learned they weren't. For those of us trying to re-enter the workforce, we are the most vulnerable to layoffs and dirty RIF's (reallocation to a lower paying job) due to the lack of seniority. Here is what I would like to see:
* Collective work history score for the employee: If you have been a good employee then you would receive a score from employeers that travels with you from job to job, much like a credit rating based on criteria that reflects a good employee. If your RIFed over and over, it would not count against you or make you look unstable if you had a score proving otherwise. It would make you a valid canidate for the next opportunity.
* Collective score for employers: Score would reflect criteria giving transparency to fiscal strength, RIF's, layoffs and employee terminations, & employee promotions. Employees interviewing with a company would be able to determine risk for accepting a position with the employer.
* Re-write state statutes that repeal the "termination at will" and ensure there is a legal contract in place for new hires that guarantees them an alloted period of time that they may remain in the job given they meet performance expectations. If there is a challenge to this, bring in a 3rd party to review the situation and ensure there is a valid reason to terminate the employee.
* Make it illegal for employers to intimidate workers to step down into lower paying positions to keep their job. Per the contract above, an employer must validate with emperical data that they can not afford the position and re-negociate the contract with a 3rd party overseeing.
* We middle class carry the rich & the poor on our backs. Our responsibility should be to ourselves

READ THE HISTORY OF UNIONS!!!!! see why people finally had enough back in the 20's. women & children were worked 80 & 90 hours a week with no protection. Don't believe me look it up on the web, there's all kinds of horror stories what these corporate pigs did to common people looking for crumbs

Overdrive Media, LLC - Flagstaff, AZ
about 4 months ago

I worked for Bill Hagen and Doug Bennet at their ad agency in Flagstaff, AZ. It was nothing but a horrific experience! They treated their employees like crap by either yelling at them, demeaning them in front of other employees, or flat out harassing them until they quit. Mr. Bennett sexually harassed female interns they brought in from the NAU campus. Bill Hagen actually met with us and told us how to manipulate and deceive local business owners to do sales with Overdrive Media. They worked the employees well past 8 hours a day and would say since we were on salary we had to do it or else! Salary was basically minimum wage compounded into 40 hours. So you actually made less money than you were being paid. They were completely unethical and used profanity in front of us on a daily basis. I finally decided to quit! The worst job I ever had in my life!

A employer yelling at you is instant grounds for unemployment. Even if you quit, apply on the grounds of there abusive work environment, if half is true what you siad, you will win your case and get to collect.
