I have lots of stories related to H-1Bs. I remember interviewing after one of my layoffs and it was a particular wing of a gigantic cable news company.
The hiring manager, an Indian, was making it very clear that he expected "his" staff to work over and beyond 40 hours. I let slip I had a recent child, and that was clearly a mistake - I think the interview was basically over at that point. I should not have offered that as it's illegal to ask about it on their end. Anyway, they went through a few more motions for the "interview" after that and I spoke to more people. Everyone else I spoke to was Indian and practically genuflecting to this guy. They were clearly scared of him. I learned from someone in another department at the same place that nearly everyone in that job was H-1B, but not the manager. This other person figured they wanted to hire someone like me as the new token citizen, as they had a few before, but left for greener pastures. One was fired for being too unruly, apparently. Iron-fisted dictator in middle management expected people to be on-call 24/7 and one of the citizens was not having it.
Seems I dodged a bullet. After that interview, another one came up the week after for a MUCH better job and they had absolutely ZERO H-1Bs, thank Pan.
