When you post a web designer job announcement for U.S. citizens living in the U.S. who speak and write perfect English and 75% of people who apply have terrible English and either outright lie about their citizenship and location or beg for the job in spite of the requirements.

Wow here in Europe it's the other way around. It's common for companies to replace us with foreign companies whose employees don't speak our native language and hardly speak any understandable English.

So you know what? Next time send these people to Europe, here companies will gladly accept them 😁

I'm doing my small part to reverse that trend of employing the programmers we have here and respecting client preferences to actually understand what client-facing programmers are saying in meetings and on phone calls.

@stackodev yup. Ran into that issue in the salesforce consulting world. Clients in America want people that speak clear english. Its nothing against their tech skills (which were usually lacking) its just no one wants to sit there asking you to repeat something repeatedly throughout an hour long meeting.
