Re: I got laid off this morning
Isn't it something like.....the average American will have seven jobs in their life? How many have you had?
I....
farm labor
worked for the county
cannery work
navy
insurance sales
...and will never work again. So only five.

Yes. The IT department at the job I just left was well over 75% stinking, sweating, braying, butt-fugly, filthy, rude, curry-guzzling fuckin' injuns. If there's one good thing that came of this, it's that I'll never have to smell the inside of the IT floors I worked on, ever again.

Yeah, there's two options, but they're both problematical.
1) You can become a real estate agent (realtor). This requires about 4-6 weeks of training class and exam taking, which is pretty easy stuff and will cost you about $1,000. Not too horrible. You interview for a position in agency at a ReMax, Ebby, Keller Williams type company, you get in, but then comes the really hard part. The first 6 months of real estate agency is where 80-90% of young realtors fail and go out of business. You're not making any money the first 3 months for the most part. They make you host open houses which means going door-to-door to different houses and standing/sitting there doing nothing for 6-8 hours at a time hoping for buyers to come in and make you their "agent". You can choose not to do this or to give up each day after a few hours, but that's how you fail easily. You have to go, heat, cold, rain, shine, wind, or snow. You're miserable all the time and slaving for peanuts. The first 6 months you'll probably need to take an overnight job at a Walmart or Denny's just to survive. Which means you're not getting any sleep, but that's the nature of this beast. Eventually, after the first half-year or so, hopefully you're making enough profit to survive, then by year two if you've made it that far you can see to reaping the rewards, but you're unlikely to have made it through the first year in the first place.
2) You can become a real estate investor/mogul, which is what I want to do. However, after the stupid Obamacare law passed, things have gotten awfully tough. You can no longer make down payments on houses and flip fixer-uppers whenever you feel like it, because after the second time banks will not write you a new loan on such an investment property. The realtors who once encouraged this aggressive gaining of capital now are not so bullish on this anymore, and are telling young investors such as myself that it is better to be more conservative and buy properties to rent out for a profit (as a long-term portfolio investment, like a stock) rather than buy cheap distressed properties, fix them up, and sell for a pretty penny. Fix and flip is how yesterday's real estate moguls made millions before their 30's, but the Shitbama administration has imposed new legislation to prevent anyone young from becoming rich apart from being lucky and being some kind of Hollywood celebrity. Now, banks are forced to audit everything -- your after-tax income, your bank statements, your work history, everything... Now, in order to do this, you need to cash-buy, which means you need to have worked a good job long enough to afford to buy such properties (and their repair costs) with straight cash, which is VERY difficult...
What do I do?

Tbh they also write some of the sloppiest code. I've seen development groups that take 75 percent of the entire IT department because they ingrain themselves into the company and hire all of their friends and family. It's actually pretty smart of them because then they have their own hiarchy within the department. However the products they produce are filled with bugs and crappy design. Educated experienced American programmers are not cheap. But you get what you pay for.

Indians learn to communicate just fine. They are rising quickly in many companies and becoming senior management.
http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/08/...techs-c-suite/
"That they all ascended to the corner office might not be a coincidence. A recent cross-cultural study from Southern New Hampshire University examined managers from the U.S. and India, for example, and found that more Indian managers achieved the highest ranking in terms of leadership traits.
Indian managers are future-oriented, and had a “paradoxical blend of genuine personal humility and intense professional will,” the study said. “These leaders achieved extraordinary results and built great organizations without much hoopla.”"

I talk to a lot of Indians every day, the vast majority of them have poor to ok communication at best. Is their exceptions? Of course there is, but they are the exception not the rule.
Companies still prefer to hire American developers in the tech space, there just isn't enough talented Americans. If there is an Indian and American developer who are similarly skilled the American developer will probably get the job nearly every time.

Correct... over 95% for sure. You can tell by the way they smell and talk.
We're not talking about your cute white-sorority girl 3rd generation India Indian-American named Nikita who goes by "Nikki" who majors in nursing and fucks half the guys in the white fraternities and is fucking cool as hell. Those aren't the Indians I'm complaining about.

They do speak English, but they speak it very poorly and with a thick accent. Even the ones who have a good command of the English language and no accent can be hard to communicate with at times because they do not understand alot of the slang/way certain phrases are put together.
I think you would be shocked at how poor the communication of many Indians that have been here even 10+ years is. Immigration and communication of foreigners in general are areas I am very well versed in. You aren't going to win this argument. The only nationalities that have rougher accents than Indians are Japanese/Chinese. Russians can be tough to understand at times, but generally if they have been here a few years it isn't much of an issue.
FYI: They wouldn't be Indo-Americans until they are citizens. That can take in excess of 15 years. It takes 10+years just for Indians to get a GC

The biggest reason for this is their own xenophobia and refusal to immerse themselves into American culture and act like Americans even thought they want all the side benefits of American residency/citizenship. When they get to America they only seek out and find other injuns from the same area of inja and same caste etc. They never get out and expand their horizons beyond their own cesspit rotten curry culture

You can say they are close minded but you are equally as bad since you didn't even try to socialize with them. You can't have it both ways and complain that they don't want to socialize with Americans when in fact you refused to do that with them.

I would have common decency to be clean if I visited/worked in their country, now? Don't act like it's the same thing in reverse. There's a saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, ever heard of that? That's the global standard for common courtesy and decency as a guest in another peoples' home country. Obviously the curry-and-armpit smelling fucks haven't.

Again whether they are clean or dirty in you eyes you still refused to socialize with them. I'm not saying go out to the mall or park randomly to meet them but what I'm saying is you didn't have common courtesy to know your work colleagues. At every job I have worked at I have always made sure to talk to everybody in the workplace regardless of race. A simple hello or small talk goes along way when it comes to work place relations. That's the bottom line you had no intention of ever getting to know them but you whine about how they don't want to socialize with Americans.

:lol Again you are proving my point which is you are close minded. I find it hard to believe that all of them speak poor English considering I have worked with quite of few of them at my job. They have the accents but I can understand them. Do you honestly expect them to sound like a white american when they weren't even born here? I give them credit for at least learning the language. It's time to admit that you are a racist and you just hate them which is perfectly fine but lets stop playing this stupid game where you whine and complain about them not assimilating when in fact you have no desire to socialize with them.

It's time to admit that you are a racist and you just hate them which is perfectly fine but lets stop playing this stupid game where you whine and complain about them not assimilating when in fact you have no desire to socialize with them.

Seriously I have no problems with you being a racist but I think it's funny that you get offended by the title when in reality this board is filled with white racists, black racists, Asian racist. The only problem I have is when people like you can't admit to it. It's more pathetic considering your identity is anonymous on this board so there should be no issue with just coming out an admitting to being a racist.

Hopefully... he needs to do away with the H-1 visa corporate job eligibility that takes away SKILLED American jobs... direct immigrants who don't have citizenship and aren't 100% fluent in English should ONLY be eligible for the minimum wage and similar jobs.

I think you would be shocked at how poor the communication of many Indians that have been here even 10+ years is. Immigration and communication of foreigners in general are areas I am very well versed in. You aren't going to win this argument. The only nationalities that have rougher accents than Indians are Japanese/Chinese. Russians can be tough to understand at times, but generally if they have been here a few years it isn't much of an issue.
FYI: They wouldn't be Indo-Americans until they are citizens. That can take in excess of 15 years. It takes 10+years just for Indians to get a GC
You don't have to be born in the US to become a citizen. You were saying that Indians from India don't speak proper English but many Indians who are now American citizens speak just fine.

You are aware how long it takes for Indians to become citizens right? Generally 15+ years to become a citizen. Even some of the Indian guys that are citizens don't speak great and tend to have an accent. Alot of slang is still lost on them.
As I said of course their is exceptions to the rule, but most Indians who come over to the US speak poor English with a fairly thick accent even after being here for a long time. A phrase alot of people use for Indians when they speak is they sound marbley. Because it sounds like they have a bunch of marbles in their mouth. Most of them are fine speaking short phrases. When they start speaking multiple sentences in a row though the words start merging together and they become pretty tough to understand. Alot of them dont articulate their words properly which again makes them difficult to understand.

Maybe if the American developers were skilled enough and not shitty like you Mason they wouldn't need to export in foreign workers. Before you try to say you got laid off because they are cheaper etc. Bullshit lol. No company is firing a good, young, American Java developer. It isn't happening. There is alot of people that would be let go before you if they are looking to save cost.

Not understanding slang isn't equal to not speaking English for anyone except the person who has to speak slang. In technical circles technical terminology is used and I interface with Indo-Americans almost daily who came to the US and are now citizens. Knowing who my audience is, I tend to stay away from slang while talking. If some feel they can't do that or don't want to, they aren't going very far unless they are already wealthy and can act as they see fit.

Regardless of the slang that doesn't address the fact that most of them speak poor english with a rough accent. The point is if you are an American and good at your job you don't need to worry about Indians taking your jobs. They have alot of jobs in tech because there just isn't very many good American developers. The good American developers go a long way though and the sky is the limit for them, especially if they actually have people skills.

I got hired for Java but I fucking suck at Java. I'm excellent at databases (with SQL) and data analytics/data mining, but they couldn't find a team for that for me in 3 months. I got laid off because I had been there for ~6 months and they hadn't found a fit for me in one of their project teams doing what I want to do.
