Re:Bill Would Double Cap on H-1B Visas

It doesn't sound like everyone loses if the companies get cheaper labor, the workers get a chance to work even if for less than they would if they were US citizens, and the more routine tech jobs get filled which probably creates more interesting jobs for those who are actually passionate about their field.
I'm not familar with any information about US companies charging massive fees to the workers. Is there a source for that part of your comment?

I think this article applies even for established companies regardless of where the funding comes from or if they're a startup. I have a friend who decided to take a 20% pay cut to work only 4 days a week and now feels more productive and happy, whereas another friend I know prefers working 60-80 hour weeks and then taking a month off. Either way, it seems obvious that even the most productive, passionate people need downtime to recharge.
