11/18/2008 Economiic Condition Go South For IT Professionals -

The future for many IT professionals is highly uncertain, no matter how positive the government statistics may make things look.  Before the pre-election economic meltdown reports showed IT employment was healthier than ever: The U.S. IT workforce topped 4 million for the first time this spring, according to government data.

Now hordes of American IT workers find the news hard to reconcile with their own day-to-day experiences. Highly qualified American IT workers now say that they cannot find jobs in the United States.  Add to that the massive layoffs that are occurring in the financial sector (Citicorp – 52,000 jobs eliminated) and you have a very glum picture.

CIOs are under pressure to cut costs, improve productivity, and maintain a high service level. Some CIOs are paring down overhead and finding cheaper labor elsewhere. But it doesnÂ’t provide heartening news to unemployed IT workers.

And the truth is that the woes of American IT workers may well be just beginning. The global business landscape is morphing by the day. Globalization is no longer about American businesses colonizing the third world.

So what is an out-of-work IT professional to do? Many of the more fortunate (employed) IT professionals urge the unemployed to sharpen their skills and evolve in their professions.

In the wake of a report claiming up to 27 percent of computer professionals and 42 percents of business analysts for H-1B applicants may be fraudulent, the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services now audit H-1B visa applications more closely. Errors and misrepresentations that were found were:

• the business did not exist;
• the educational degrees or experience letters submitted were confirmed to be fraudulent;
• signatures had been forged on supporting documentation; and
• the beneficiary was performing duties that were significantly different from those described on the LCA and I-129 petition.

11/04/2008 Sex Discriminination at High Tech Firms -

Former female executives of Dell have sued their ex-employer, the world's second-largest computer maker, alleging gender discrimination and seeking $500 million in damages.

  According to the lawsuit, the Texas-based multinational technology company, whose top 14 executives are all male, unfairly laid off four former senior female employees in the job cuts earlier this year.  The plantiffs in the case are seeking class action status and have filed in a federal court in California.

The lawsuit demands $500 million in damages on behalf of female and older former Dell employees, who they say were singled out during recent layoffs and systematically discriminated against.

The lawsuit states nearly 80 percent of the top executives in Dell are male. Dell has declined to comment on that figure, although its website says women and people of color represent 32 percent of its U.S.-based vice presidents.

In the lawsuit the plaintiffs said they were repeatedly passed up for promotions and increased pay despite receiving good performance reviews.

Despite laws prohibiting unequal pay for equal work, women in the United States are paid about 22 percent less than men on an average, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
