“If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

Well that sounds terrifying!

    Yes a notable exception. Twitter was 8% H1-B employees prior to all the layoffs. We don’t know how many are there still.

    Those folks are really living with a totally different level of concerns. “My boss is a raging asshole” is not a significant concern compared to being forced to leave the country.

    As for the other 92% of the company with no visa concerns, why are any of them still there? I am tempted to assume they’re the coasters who don’t think they can find as good a paycheck anywhere else, or are just happy to ride the ship down.

      Maybe they think the disaster will end, maybe they have families to support, maybe they would rather be fired and collect unemployment. Many years ago I worked for a company that got bought by Teledyne and they pretty much did what is happening to Twatter. I stuck it out until the end.
