Exposing the FUD spread by the Antis
BANGALORE, India - After graduating from Northwestern University last year, Nate Linkon contemplated job offers in Chicago and New York. But he chose a less conventional path and started his career here, in India’s booming tech capital.
The 22-year-old Milwaukee native works in marketing at Infosys Technologies Ltd., India’s second-largest software exporter. He’s part of a small but growing number of young Americans moving to Bangalore and other Indian cities to beef up their resumes, launch businesses or study globalization in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
All the spin in the world will not change facts.
My TWO phone interviews were in Oct. 2006 so that was after you became
manager. After the second "interview" it became clear to me that your
company has no interest in hiring a seasoned 16+ year Mac veteran and
author of 18 successful commercial Mac products. If those qualifications
are not good enough, then your goal is obviously something other than
hiring the best.
The fact is, like so many companies today, you run a cheap imported
labor sweat shop and when your cheap, inexperienced, third-world
programmers can't do the job, you "interview" people like me to get the
knowledge you need to give to your people who can't otherwise do the
work. Your compatriot, Tenzen Wild informed me the two "programmers" the
candidate would be working with where imported from China with little
experience.
Any company which conducts exploitative interviews is committing fraud
and fraud is a criminal act. Criminal and "legitimate" do not go together.
You claim to have hired "4 full-time Mac developers". Will you please
tell the list their names, nationalities, and how we can contact them?
Put your money where your mouth is and prove it to us. I am willing to
wager $1000 that at least 3 of them are imported cheap-labor foreign
nationals. Do you have the guts to accept a $1000 bet? In fact, I have
notified DHS, ICE, BCIS and the FBI that you are conducting visa fraud
because you are pretending to hire Americans, when in fact you are doin
the opposite. Do you think we are all stupid?
I see that you yourself are from Belgium.
One can hardly imagine a more America-hating socialist
European nation than that.
I don't doubt your work has been on the covers of major fashion
magazines - it's not surprising given the corrupt nature of the fashion
industry. Just because you are successful does not mean you are honest.
I would warn all serious American Mac developers to stay as far away
from Box as possible because they have no intention of hiring you. They
only want to gain your knowledge for free and give it to their cheap
imported programmers who are incompetent.
This is the age of exploitative interviews. And Box is the master of that.

It was you punks, the symbolic analysts, that have destroyed American industry.
You think IT outsourcing is bad? Just look around you morons, the entire manufacturing is outsourced to an enemy country(China). This is a clear and present danger.
I have no sympathy for the symbolic analysts in the form of stock analysts, programmers, auditors, lawyers etc.
You PARASITES are the reason for destroying manufacturing in this once great country and all in the name of automation, efficiency and redundancy.
Are you getting raped in the ass as a result of redundancy or cheaper alternatives? Die motherfuckers, die! Now its your turn.
The average American/Canadian gives a flying fuck as to what fate awaits y'all.

This is about the racist (in the word of another American) posts at itgrunt.com
"How much ever i respect your zeal and initiative to get something done, against all this exploitation of the American worker, but in that adrenaline rush, you guys come across as being xenophobic racists. I would love to show this blog to my colleagues and spread the word, but cant because it just comes across like another racially motivated hate site.
I did show this blog some days back at work, and nobody took it seriously, if you guys do have another site which is more serious and professional, let me know, i'd love to spread the word around."
Grow up Antis, Grow Up!!
Some more:
"Wayne said...
"Don't be surprised if the attacks that started in Australia migrate to our shores."
Is that why you have a picture of a (presumably) Indian beaten to shit in a hospital bed in an article that otherwise has NOTHING to do with violence?
You need to stop advocating violence; ... , you ruin the cause by spouting outright hate speech and trying to incite violence. You can say "We need to fix the H1-B visa and give American IT workers jobs again" without saying "Everyone needs to start beating the shit out of any Indians they see"."
Haaa Ha!!!
Do you realize now, Antis, Americans are NOT fools? They are not only not falling for your FUD, they actually distaste your "in-sur-gen-C".
More to come.
Ajay Banga, a veteran retail banker who runs Citigroup Inc.'s Asia-Pacific business, is leaving the New York company to become the No. 2 executive at MasterCard Inc.
Ajay Banga may give a fresh marketing jolt to MasterCard.
The 49-year-old Mr. Banga will become president and chief operating officer at MasterCard in August, making him the heir apparent to Chief Executive Robert Selander. As part of the move, Mr. Selander will give up duties as president of the Purchase, N.Y., company, which processes electronic payments.

Does the "insurgency" (ahem!!) know the meaning of "TEA" party. It's a protest by people who believe they are "Taxed Enough Already". That would include immigrants and workers on H1B and L1 also. Then how can a TEA party be a protest against immigrants and worker visas?
Or are you just trying to piggy back on some completely unrelated cause, because you just don't have enough support? Maybe, just maybe, Americans see the FUD you are trying to spread?
Some of the FUDs I have come across in different boards spread by a handful of people:
1. Indians hate African Americans. What!! And why is that? Because they are black? And what are we? Browns!! Why would we hate African Americans when they were getting persecuted by xenophobes like you not too long ago, just like you are trying to pull it off on Indians now. Get it?
2. Indians don't hire Americans. The strangest thing is, this comes from a person, who, right now, is hired and happily employed under an Indian manager. Now what do you call it? Hypocrisy is too lite a word for it. Backstabbing hypocrite .... maybe.
3. Indians think Americans are fools. Being an Indian, I find this idea laughable at best. This is one of the greatest nations, built by Americans. The land of opportunity, built by Americans. The spearhead of innovation, built by Americans. No sane person will think Americans are fools. Yet, these bunch of morons wants to perpetrate this notion that "Indians think Americans are fools". NO WE DO NOT.
They are so desperate to perpetrate their lies that they show up on different forums with Indian pseudonyms, and try to denigrate America. More than once, I have exposed them for doing that. I mean, can it be any more lame than that? Even some fellow Antis feel that way. :-)
On the other hand, I get the perception it's the other way around. These bunch of racist xenophobes are the ones who think that rest of the Americans are fools. If you go through their posts, it's pretty obvious. There are repeated mentions of how the rest of the Americans "... just don't get it". Really, folks, what do you think? The rest of the Americans are fools, and you are the smartest of all?
I'll cover more on later posts. Happy reading.
I came across this post:
http://itgrunt.com/2009/06/bush-traded-american-jobs-for-indian.html
Now, can someone be any more dumb than THIS. Suggesting that the President of the Most powerful nation of the world sealed a Nuclear deal in exchange of... Mangos?
And then, in the video, comes the suggestion that irradiated mangos "glow" in the dark? Huh? And these are the people who think they deserve jobs that need brains? Let me just quote something about irradiated foods in US:
Some U.S. supermarkets carry irradiated food products today ranging from fresh tropical fruit from Hawaii or Florida,dehydrated spices and ground meat products.
A facility in Florida has been irradiating strawberries and other fruits on a limited basis, to prolong shelf life. On a trial basis, fresh tropical fruits from Hawaii have been irradiated before shipping them to the mainland, instead of fumigating them to eliminate the fruit fly pests that could spread to the mainland. Some spices for commercial use have been irradiated. In addition irradiation is widely used to sterilize a variety of medical and household products, from hip joint implants to bandaids and baby pacifiers.
Other technologies used to sterilize fruits, spices and medical devices use toxic chemicals, such as ethylene oxide. Use of irradiation can reduce the use of these other hazardous substances.
Now tell me, do these folks have no capability to find out about food irradiation by doing some basic google searches, or they are more interested in spreading propaganda?
Some of the comments are even dumber than the original post. Especially look at this:
"You hit the nail right on the head - India has threatened us multiple times with nuclear war if we don't give them our jobs. That's the REAL reason this is happening. There was also a news story of a Senator a few years back who got corned in a room of unemployed Americans who asked him why he was pushing for more guest worker visas and he said "India has one billion people and nuclear weapons" - a clear sign that they had threatened us."
This, when India doesn't even have a warhead that can reach anywhere close to USA. How the heck then India "threaten" US with nuclear warfare?
I have never seen more stupid FUD than this. Have you?
