...ruined Boeing. They replaced 1-2 competent American coders with literally teams of 100 JEET coders.

>The business model was simple. One American employee could be replaced with up to three foreign workers in India at the same cost, and whole departments could be offloaded out of America. Generally, all that was needed was a couple H-1B visa holders to come to the US company and act as focals to teams overseas.

>The Boeing IT department is a perfect example. The overwhelming majority of Boeing IT, a fundamental and critical proficiency, was offloaded to India as a cost savings. A handful of H-1B recipients from India became management of that core proficiency, coordinating with armies of Indian developers. The Boeing IT employees, as a condition of their severance packages, were required to train their Indian counterparts before they were fired or lose their severance packages.

>Instead of Boeing developers writing the apps with their expertise in Boeing processes, it was now left to engineers to convey to H1B visa recipients the necessary requirements, then translated to India where upwards of 100 or more developers would go to work on an application that may have involved one or two Boeing developers before.
