Microsoft Outsources Tech Jobs to India

You can't make this stuff up folks. Microsoft literally offshore outsourced almost all of their internal I.T. department to Infosys in an estimated $100 million dollar deal. That's right, the people who supposedly make the software of the world offshore outsourced all of their technology infrastructure.

Even this Pro outsourcing site noted the increasing relationship between Microsoft and offshore outsourcing. Next time you see Microsoft proclaim a worker shortage or how the U.S. must import foreign guest workers instead of hiring Americans, this is the reason.

India Body Shop Infosys Guilty of Widespread Visa Fraud

It's no secret to any one working in the technology sector India offshore outsourcer Infosys abuses foreign guest worker visas, and labor arbitrages. After all, it's their business model.

Now, one lone consultant is trying to do something about it. He filed a whistle blower lawsuit due to the retaliation of Infosys after trying to do something about Infosys' brazen U.S. immigration law violations, all to displace U.S. labor through offshore outsourcing contracts. Here's what he was trying to expose:

An American employee of Infosys has filed a case against the Indian company accusing it of systematic visa and tax fraud to increase profits. In his 13-page complaint filed before an Alabama Court early this week, Jack Palmer alleged that Infosys sent lower level and unskilled foreigners to the US to work in full-time positions at its customer sites in direct violation of immigration laws.

Palmer, who says he worked for Infosys as "Principal - Enterprise Solutions" since August 2008, alleged that the company was paying these employees in India for full-time work in the US without withholding federal or state income taxes, and overbilled customers for the labour costs of these employees.

Infosys will actually hire Americans for jobs in their own country....if they have to

One has to do a double take on this headline. Infosys Is Ready to Boost Staff in Case of ‘Hire American’ Law.

Infosys Technologies Ltd., India’s second-largest provider of software services, plans to boost hiring in the U.S. if a proposal to restrict the country’s work visas becomes law, said B. G. Srinivas, a company executive.
