Yep. My dept is no longer permitted to hire US citizens. We can only hire from our India site (Bangalore? Can't remember). Trouble is, communiciation difficulties and time differences means two of them are less than one of us.
Fortunately I seem to have built some job security into the products I support (i.e., horrible documentation and extremely complicated to use).
Wonder when the US companies laying off US workers will realize they can't sell their ultra-expensive products anymore, because the deficit-spending American public no longer has the credit to afford toys? It's not like HP is going to sell $3000 computers in India, when they're paying their Indian employees $200 a week.
