Saying: we fired so many killed the last bit of loyality, taken people hostage(try find a job in a few days who will take over the h1b visa) that we need people to do the grunt work and help the remaining people to manage that minefield of our software.


> the last bit of loyality

What is that you're talking about? I don't know anyone who stays at a company out of a sense of loyalty. Do you feel a sense of loyalty for the company you are working at? Would you stay there if you could get more money for the same work? If you would, congrats, you're loyal. Most people are not like you.


Why do you conflate people choosing to continue working there with “taken hostage” over an h1b Visa?

Do these people have no personal agency? Sounds like some kind of a veiled attack on immigrant engineers…?
