    The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn’t an asshole.

        I understand that it can be immensely scary to leave a job and if the acquisition happened a week ago I’d be more forgiving but… they’ve had enough time, H1Bs have exit clauses that, especially someone fleeing Twitter for ethical reasons, could have used to find an alternative sponsor.

        I do fucking hate H1B exploitation, but folks have had long enough at this point that the excuses runneth dry.

          I was on an H1 programme, but not for a green card. Just until the TNs were fixed.

          But these exit clauses? Never heard of 'em. We lived in abject fear of fucking up to the point of being fired, as that meant a moving truck super-fast. We were glad we had a company that paid us at par and also kept us on when it had to downsize for daring to sue IBM.

          I shudder at the people trapped at Twitter and what they must see daily.

          they made sure that if your fired you will be deported, or if you stop getting sponsored or something. biotech also exploits visas too, but not too the extent of tech employers, making an already very hard industry to get into harder.(why do you think alot of scientists tend to be from the ME, INDIA or asia)

    Must be the great hacker collective: N_competence

    Edit: Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit. It seems like he might not’ve been lying on this one account. Never mind. Looks like he is lying again.

      He’s blaming it on Ukraine which sounds like a false flag. He’ll use this as the reason he has to cut off Starlink to the country.
