Originally posted by m0n1k3r View PostOther European countries are not nearly as keen on offshoring as the UK is. They value having people on-site. People who can readily communicate, understand and share the same values. For that reason, companies elsewhere in Europe tend to always have at a minimum a core team of EU staff who runs the show, and only then allow parts of the work to be performed elsewhere.
E.g., they understand the value of collaboration and the actual cost that comes with offshoring to a location with far lower rates (on paper).

Understanding why a visa can be so coveted and reviled - CNN.com
Very interesting and in-depth article on the ravages of H-1B and how it affects both the worker being replaced & the one being brought in from somewhere else. Mentions a lot of things relevant to what is now happening in the UK Tier 2 Visa program (the import worker eventually passes the role over to someone in their own country completing the offshoring cycle). The usual offshoring suspects are mentioned it states they save on average $45K per worker once they are brought onboard.Comment

Trump administration to allow for 15,000 more foreign workers - POLITICO
here is another good quote just for a laugh I will post it below and wonder what UK politician would dare try to do this to save UK IT jobs!
"To qualify for the H-2B visas, hiring companies must attest under the penalty of perjury that they are “likely to suffer irreparable harm” without the influx of workers"Comment
