Folks who are/have been on L1, have you ever received threat-cum-feedback from manager which, under the hood, misuses your visa status? What was your experience? What are some good defences in such trappy situations? One I can think of is moving to other orgs in same company. For those who don't know: On L1 visa, you cant move to other companies.
Threat cum sounds like something no one should ever get from their manager. Pretty sure its illegal too
I read "threat-cum" fast and spit out my drink!!!
Looks like your gag reflexes are working
Go get some sun OP
This explains why we should ban L visas. People on H1B have a minimum wage and qualification set, while these ones are a great way to import cheap labor and abuse them for reasons you just mentioned. I’ve heard Amazon and MSFT use these a lot.
L1 doesnt have anything to do with cheap labor or low talent. In fact L1 is by definition for "specialized knowledge". So, L1 has as rigorous requirements as H1.
Oh no. L1 is the only (reliable) way for non-Indian to get into US. And then super fast path to GC.
You are in MSFT. Find another job and get on H1-B.
You can’t get another job while on L1. No one would sit on an open req from lottery in March till H1 gets activated in Oct. Tried to help friends who were on L1 which did not pan out for above reason.
Now would be a great time to start looking outside, so you can find an employer who can file for you in March’ 2022. Yes, you do need to get picked up in lottery and you cannot start before Oct’ 2022, but better to get started.
I imagine moving orgs inside MS is as easy as in G. Just do it.
Somehow I end up thinking "I need to stick with this manager because he/she spent time, money for bringing me here". Would it be fair to do it in less than a year in the team?
Are they fair to you? It doesn’t sound like they are.
at first when I saw title I thought its going to be some CPU related thread

What's a threat-cum-feedback?
I think he means the manager is sliding threats into his 1-on-1 or review cycle feedback
