>> Cash is king. Anything else shifts the risks away from the better capitalized corporation to the less capitalized potential employee.

And this kind of over-generalization and over-rationalization is exactly the reason why Americans cannot be found.

Sorry, if you want the job, take it else the jobs are going elsewhere. We have a product to sell.

Americans can be found. But obviously if your company can’t find any, then the compensation you offer isn’t competitive and Americans have better opportunities elsewhere.

So you have better opportunities elsewhere. Whats your problem with me hiring legal taxpaying smart international people?

Do you want to kill my razor thin business causing layoffs? Do you want me to move to another country? Do you not want smart people here in the US? Do you not want growth in the US?

I placed no value judgement on your hiring people internationally and making the best decision for your business and doing what was in your best interest.

On the other hand, the original post did imply that there was something morally wrong with employees not being “loyal” and jumping ship to a better offer or not accepting your offer at all because it was in their best interest.

But at the end of the day, it is your business not mine. That informs where both of our loyalties will lie.
