Translation? I recognize M'shugaas as שיגעון (craziness), but not the rest.

Hi Steve,
I am a US citizen, but, don't live in the USA.
At some companies, I am ineligible for remote work for this reason
(Some intelligent companies don't care where one resides.)
Regards,
David

TCS has sold a service contract to Toyota in Plano. The downside is
that TCS does not rehire and that is their choice. The problem becomes is
that I have no Idea how many people on this list are former TCS employees

But I have been approacted and/or contacted over 500 times for the
Toyota deal in Plano. That many contacts has far beyond exceeded the level
of
Mass insanity and stupidity. Also TCS has sold a service contact to
Boeing and Zions Bank, and yet the recuiters keep contacting the same
known resources in hopes of finding someone.
There are other recuiters looking for companies other then TCS, DXC,
and CTS. Those are the ones I want US Based zOS Systems Programmers to
target.
In the past few days I have been hit with e-mails for San Berinadino
County in California and I simply respond $135/Hr W2. Again the recuiters
are using the same known zOS Systems Programmers. Also I've been approache
for my skills of ACF2, RACF, zSecure, and TSS and it respond with $135/Hr
W2. And San Berinadino County in California I know have been looking for
well over a year.
Beause of US Laws under the Trump Administration and government
regulated industries and companies lile Toyota that have statted US
Citizens only, no one from other counties can be hired and there lies the
rub

Hmm. I mostly agree, but there would seem to be room for discussion of
what U.S.-based sysprogs are worth vs. ones in other timezones. It's the
"other timezones" that becomes an issue: when every interaction takes 24
hours because the two sides are 12 hours apart, that's a problem, no matter
how good they are.
And if folks are being offered the same rates as in the 80s, when the
number of quality people has declined precipitously, that feels like a
problem worth discussion too. But of course Radoslav is correct that
neither complaining here nor to a recruiter is likely to lead to any
change. Though I find it offensive to be approached with a lowball
offer--but that's just basic incompetence on the part of the recruiter.
Probably more useful to explain to them why it's lowball.

It is off-topic despite we see "system programmers" keywords here.
It is off-topic, because it not mainframe-specific issue, rather it's
an issue of IT or even wider - about world economy and remote work
possibilities.
Of course you can be angry for the rates, but it is neither issue of
Indian people nor Indian companies. Even American or Canadian
companies do hire people outside. Not to mention European giants like
Atos, Sopra, etc. And all those companies do hire US citizens as well
as EU citizens.
And people living in India, Indonesia, Peru, Costa Rica, Brasil,
Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, etc. However it is not only about
employees - Kyndryl or Ensono or other companies have big customers
outside of US - is it OK? For me it is.
And yes, US folks are usually paid better than people in Lithuania
(Rocket Software), people in Poland are paid better than in Brasil or
Pakistan. But the difference does NOT come from someone's appeals or
invocations.
If you want to change the rules - it's your decision. However I don't
think the IBM-MAIN or RACF-L are proper places for that activity.
