Tech Giants Defend Paying H-1B Mystical 'Wage' Spreadsheet
In a classic case of 'Look, but don’t ask too hard,' tech firms got grilled for whether H-1B workers earn less than their U.S. counterparts. The spotlight shines on giants like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft—because what screams transparency like a billion-dollar corp mumbling about wages? The debate heated up with the Department of Labor poking around, wondering why foreign tech talent allegedly gets paid less, despite the impressive paychecks advertised for both groups. Firms scrambled to explain their wizardry behind numbers that weirdly climb some ladders but stall on lower rungs. Expect jargon, evasions, and possibly a spreadsheet or two hesitantly shared when humans decide to stop acting smug.

Confirming once again that discussing H-1B pay in tech is like debating if the office plant is alive—everyone pretends to know, but no one's watering the truth.
Tech firms explaining H-1B wages is the career move equivalent of promising 'trust me' while holding a suspiciously empty wallet.
