Google left its visa employees hanging at the mercy of market. Needless to say am one of them. This is the worst time to get laid off, and google chosen this time to dump its visa employee to market when there is already a huge supply of techies. Google broke my trust and all the passion I have given during my job, trusting that it will take care of employees no matter what. But in reality they bailed on us in the very first chance and that too in worst possible way. I will never respect google in the same way I used to do #vent #layoffs #google

He betrayed his home countrymen for those $$$

Trust no employer
Only in God we trust? (Cough.. cough .. I mean $$$)
You should have never trusted Google in the first place, huge bloated company with only 2 revenue streams, bound to fail sooner than later. Best of luck in your search
What does your alias mean?
Not the bestest but one of the best !!! In any case it won’t help people on visa as we are time bound. It may sound controversial but they should have think about visa employees before dumping them at this time
Lesson learn: not to trust any company How many years were you at G anyway?
10 months
Did you get sci?
Would you rather take AMZN or MSFT’s severance?
I would have joined those companies with less expectations and TBH with less passion. Always be on hook or ready to get out from Amazon and MSFT. I trusted bit more on google to do right thing and giving the price for that. Look not everything is about money, I can give away severance in a blink if I get my job back.
You’re using the term “bailed us out” wrong. But yeah “trusting that it will take care of employees no matter what”, sounds like you learned a lesson the hard way. Sorry for what happened to you. Best of luck.
After talking to witch consultancy’s to sponsor my visa, I kind of short on words sorry !!!
You can use “bailed on us” instead of bailed us out. Ironically, one is the opposite of the other.
We have 4 months correct? 2 months notice and 2 months grace period?
Technically yes
So google has not notified uscis about our layoff yet. My wife is in India during the layoff. so she shouldn’t have to worry about coming back to usa. Or i am wrong?
Google is just another company. A lot of people fell for the shiny PR and the movies showing slides in office. It's just another company. Faang is just another company. You try to get the best opportunity in the best company you can but finally it's just a business.

Tech companies to avoid as a white guy?
Why is every post in this app angry about google layoffs but nothing on Amazon or MS? Did some delusion just get shattered here? Did you really think google was a better company? FTR I don’t have a problem with anyone being angry with these companies. I totally get it. I just see google google google?
True !!!
Googlers whine more because they lost prestige. Amazonians are busy interviewing. Microsofties don’t have prestige or interviews.
