content: 4 Years ago, American Express hired an Indian SVP, over the cloud operation. We had just completed a migration.  8 months prior, a team of 8, took a VMware VCloud that had 10K VMs in it. And turned it into a functional openstack, running those 10K VMs. Fast forward to 3 months after the Indian SVP, we are now 6 of the original 8 Americans, and 30 Indians. Who we all had to train to do this cloud stuff. Even though 90% of the crop had just graduated from ASU masters program. Fast forward another 6 months, and its 2 Americans and 75 Indians. By end of 1 year, There was one american left, he had no real responsibility left, and pretty much his role was teaching the new indians that came. Another year later after no progress, they fire that SVP, and replace him with yet another Indian. Another year, still no progress. A third Indian takes the helm, still so little progress. That come year 4, they took it away from the Indian management and gave it back to an American SVP again. Now many of the Indians are afraid they are going to lose their jobs. These Indians are making 75% of what the Americans were making. And there are over 150 of them there now on H1B.
