Episode 31 – How Well Educated, Hard Working Americans are Treated in America
Here it is, the long awaited 31st episode. This is a big episode packed full of audible goodness. In this episode I share stories of American IT workers who are jobless, homeless, or are on the verge of being homeless. Here are links to items discussed within this episode:
- Shyiak still UAA coach despite ad for an American Citizen
http://www.adn.com/sports/prep/hockey/story/931949.html - Bruce Richall, homeless IT consultant
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7681978.stm - Rob, homeless IT professional

I also discuss 2 other stories. One about a Microsoft Product Manager who was laid off from Microsoft by a guest worker/manager on a L-1 Visa. I call her Alice to protect her identity. The second is a story about Diane Drozdowski, an IT worker who was tortured at American Express by an Indian manager until she had a nervous breakdown and then was forced to train her replacements from India.
I also play audio from a fan (a young one) who called in to my comment line.
I apologize for the audio not being as high of quality as I would like it to be, but I do have software on order which I hope will help with future episodes.
