In praise of Meta, they're helping Visa based employees

Question

Visa based employees are being kept on payroll for 2 extra months, so they have 4 months in total to try and find a new job before losing their visa.

It's a small thing, but honestly props to them for thinking that through and swallowing the cost.

Also note the upcoming holiday season, which makes the timing even worse for layoffs

Pretty sure facebook was getting sued by Trump for favoring H1B over US calling it "discrimination.

They can afford it. Also best not to burn bridges. They only have a "grace period" of 60 days to find an employer who is willing to sponsor their H-1B, so failing to find one means they will be required to leave the US. With the state of the tech industry right now, I dont imagine many of the visa carriers will be able to find roles. Smaller companies are hesitant and likely are not sophisticated enough to even apply.
