Rumor: #bigtech firing Americans, hiring #H1Bs

Got links?

Elon Musk has made it abundantly clear that he wants people to work for little to no money, sleep in the workplace that he’s provided them, subsist on the food that he also provides, work 20 hours a day. And his workforce is comprised of H1B indentured workers - I was one at one point. No wonder that Musk wants to boost immigration that way. That’s how he keeps his mine running. Shame. Shame. Shame. #twitter #IndenturedLabour #H1Bs #felonmusk

All these headlines saying #H1Bs have 60 days finding a new job are just glossing over the problem.
The 60-day rule applies to the entire H1-B span and doesn’t reset when you switch to a new employer. For this reason, most H1-B workers never dare to take a long break and always land on a solid offer from a new employer before even giving notice.
It’s an incredibly cruel #immigration system.

I didn’t experience this per se but in general this essay matches my experience when I was on H1-B. Unfortunately making H1-Bs’ lives easier doesn’t have much political gain so even the democrats don’t really give a shit.

It’s an extremely stressful time for the #H1Bs with all these tech layoffs. The inaction from the federal government is an invitation for the bad players to abuse their employees.
