| This is an urban myth my friend. In my previous company I sat in a meeting with a senior manager who told the "management" that all future hires would be through overseas companies X & Y; who funny enough only employ Indians. Needless to say by the time I left 95% of the staff were L permit holding X & Y consultants. No attempt was being made to advertise or hire anybody locally; have you or indeed anybody ever heard of a company being found guilty of this breaking this rule? The only way to break such policies to restrict permits; which is why the permit reduction is a good thing. | |

... and pray, what is wrong with that? When these hires from X & Y can do the same job as you, possibly better and that at a better rate?
These X & Y L-permit holders contribute to the very system which pays you your unemployment moolah. At the same time, they never get a penny out of it. I do not see a way how the firm you used to work for, could even dream of being competitive in a global environment, if they decided to kick out X & Y and keep you instead.
As a person, I feel bad that you have your current employment problems. But, having said that, I think packing-off a few L permit holders back to their homes is just a political gimmick and may not really help you out, even in the short term.
