Blame India Watch

"Lost your IT job? Blame HR and your management. Don't blame India, or Indians. ... What began a few years ago as IT grumbling about Indian-specific H-1B 'Temporary Guest worker' and L-1 'Intracompany Transfer' workers and immigrants has now morphed into the outsourcing issue, and is now gaining international attention. We aim to highlight this scapegoating, encourage IT workers to put a stop it, and redirect the anger to where it belongs."
