I hate to be callous, but this is business as usual in the eastern bloc. Seriously, blow thru the Czech Republic at night and listen to the buzz. 'Modeling' is a thriving business, perhaps the ONLY business that's humming there in ANY economic condition.
If the line '.... After a group interview in a room full of "model-like women," didn't clue you in, you're naive. If you didn't pick up that the HR woman stayed and co-ordinated things as a handler you're doubly naive --business as usual in the former eastern bloc.
Welcome to the dark underbelly of the H1B system, where those who come here bring their culture, warts, criminality and all. I'd be surprised if Miss Kharchenko didn't know the score. VERY surprised. I'm sure he also took her passport?
And if you think the slavs are bad, you should see how the Japanese conduct themselves here. Or the related HUGE underground economy that the Chinese Triads have here, least of all is the Asian Massage Parlor chains up and down the state with hubs in the bay area and El Lay. Educated H1Bs are brought in to run the operations, and Gavvy Gav can't even find social workers who speak Chinese, Japanese or Korean. *sigh*
H1Bs should be abolished. Foreigners think we're the rich stupid country who has thrown open their gates to whatever conduct and trade they can get away with. The penalty is a slap on the wrists and 'deportation'... and when they leave they usually can retire 'back home' in their 30s. And those are the lucky, ruthless few.
@Drunken Economist: Yep. All the facts point to the conclusion that Slavs and Japs stink. Do you have anything on Blacks? How 'bout them Jews? Gays? Keep going... we need to take charge and clean this shit up, right?
@Drunken Economist: One point you seem to be missing is that this happened in San Francisco, not Eastern Europe. You're describing the business environment Kharchenko says she hoped to escape by moving to the United States.
