In my career, I've had the good fortune of working with people from all over the world. India, China, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Canada, Latvia, Jamaica, as well as other countries I'm sure I'm forgetting. I consider my life richer for the friends I've made, and I've always felt bad when my friends have to deal with extra hassles to deal with immigration issues, just so they can live and work where they'd like to on this planet. I've felt ashamed when I see fellow Americans treat them badly, just because they were born elsewhere on the planet. I hope in my lifetime I'll have the chance to travel to other countries to live and work, and I hope to find people who are welcoming, rather than the type of people to bitch and moan about their lot in life, like I'm seeing on this thread. I think it's bigoted and pathetic, and I'm glad I don't work with you. That is all. -Erik On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 12:30 AM, Robert Nesius <nesius at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 1:36 PM, Andrew Dahl <droidjd at gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Interesting note regarding companies hiring overseas.
