Layoffs: will the company layoff H1B over US Citizen if they are both SWE? Not sure about labor laws around this.
I know this question sounds a bit racist and definitely nationalistic. I don’t tend for it to be taken that way. I’m asking from a strictly legal point of view. let’s a manager has 2 direct reports, 1 h1b and 1 citizen and each report performs equally. The manager has to lay off one of their dir...Read more
Would they consider laying off H1Bs before permanent residents and them before citizens? Tc 300
I am an Indian citizen and a perpetual GC beggar. At least I used to be. My biggest fear to date was what if I lose my job in the US and have to move back forever. I have been in the US since 19 years and still have no sight of clarity on getting my EB2 date becoming current. I have worked at Amazon...Read more
Do companies layoff visa holders or citizens first? 😔 #tech
Irrespective of talent or skills. How true can it be ? TC 190k
If I get a petition and have citizens impacted by layoffs sign it, how is it legals to have all these h1bs employed while citizens are laid off and unemployed? Seems ridiculous
My husband got laid off from collective health this morning. We were planning to move to texas this summer and now we are out of options. Not that it matters. We are US Citizens and visa is not an issue. #severance #layoff #jobopening opening#
So if a company wants to impress investors and get it stock price up then only solution is layoff employees. WTH why common man has to suffer with these dirty politics by CEO and rich people Don’t see such crazy layoffs in EU so May be their Govt protecting the citizens #amazon
Tech layoffs have made it so there are plenty of highly qualified citizens and green card holders looking for work. So why would any company sponsor someone's visa over giving the job to a citizen? I ask this on a H1B. But I'm worried I will be laid off and replaced with a permanent resident or cit...Read more

Hey I’m a mid level software engineer(L5), US citizen impacted by today’s layoffs based in California looking for referrals. Open to remote or hybrid if possible, but beggars can’t be choosers. Good luck to all the impacted Shopifolk. #layoff #severance #shopify
Can someone help me understand this. When tech companies are doing mass layoffs why are they still employing H1Bs? I thought the whole idea is to hire someone from another country IF they can’t find US citizen to do the job. How are they able to keep hiring H1Bs while firing US Citizens?
Are h1bs spared more likely than permant residents for layoffs? At Amazon the majority laid off were citizens
I got laid off at the beginning of the year, just signed a new job offer. It took roughly 2 months of active looking but I’ve technically been applying since the end of March for unemployment. It was easier since I’m senior, it’s much harder if you’re looking for entry level or much higher levels. T...Read more
For everyone that got laid off, specifically American citizens, are you open to relocating to countries that aren't usually affected by recession, such as India? #layoff #reverseH1b
I posted a poll earlier the day and wanted to share the results with you all. Total participants. 224 Participants by Residency status: Visa (H1, L1): 33% GC/Naturalized Citizen: 26% Citizen (by birth): 41% 77% of those on a visa reported being worried about losing their jobs in a layoff. 57% of...Read more
- Continued layoffs - Continued supply chain issues - Inflation - Housing - Russia war - Forecasted 250M Chinese citizens to come down with covid - More of the same bad news
He was laid off after 16 years at Google. 8 weeks transition period + 16 weeks + 2 weeks for every year. He's still bummed about getting cut, but this definitely softens the blow. TC 400k Edit: he's a US citizen #layoffs
