I saw Andy Grove speak once when I had a college internship at Intel. His theme was "successful companies must eat their own children", meaning that successful products slow down innovation because no one at the company wants to challenge a big cash flow. So well-run companies should always be trying to make their own products obsolete as quickly as possible, before a competitor does it.

But back to the original point: H1b slaves get deported if they lose their jobs, so they are extremely obedient and not about to challenge anything. This makes them averse to innovation.

Xerox was the poster child of that more than Intel ever was, trust me.

I watched a team of H1B Indians who replaced the original team working on one of adjacent products not adding any new features or fixing any bugs for 3+ years. And this is not a cutting edge stuff by any stretch of imagination. I have no fucking idea what are they doing all day every day.

My friend was a higher-level Client Service Manager at a "Large Telecom".

They all dialed cousins back in India for help doing basic tasks, that he realized. Some had TCP for dummies and such like books in their cubicles.
