theodp writes "When questioned about his firm's U.S. hiring, Information Week reports that Vineet Nayar, the CEO of outsourcing giant HCL Technologies, showed he can stereotype with the best of them, telling a NYC audience that most American tech grads are "unemployable". Explaining that Americans are far less willing than students from developing economies like India, China, and Brazil to master the "boring" details of tech process and methodology, the HCL chief added that most Americans are just too expensive to train. HCL, which was reportedly awarded a secretive $170 million outsourcing contract by Microsoft last April, gets a personal thumbs-up for "walking-the-extra-mile" from Steve Ballmer, who BTW was busy last week pitching more H-1B visas as the cure for America's job ills at The National Summit."
If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.

I know quite a few Indian H1B workers who are mediocre at best, and are really (very hard working) drones with little creativity.
