This is both correct and incorrect. Yes, if you get fired from a job, you are going to be in a scramble to find another job that will sponsor you. That said, switching jobs when you have an H1B is no different than finding a job to sponsor you for an H1B… in other words, you just find another job that will sponsor you, you move to it, and they start the whole application process over again, and you are fine.
In my mind, any of these people are better off looking now and moving, than they are waiting to get axed.
Whenever the computers are down at my job, or the code to the door isn’t working for some reason, we joke that that’s how they let us know we’re fired.
I guess at Twitter that’s not so much a joke as an HR policy.
Elon is on the record saying that population decline is a more serious problem than global warming. Which given that this decline is only happening outside the developing world can only be interpreted as a concern that the right kinds of people are being out produced by the undesirables.
You don’t have to read between the lines to establish that Elmo is racist. He’ll cheerfully tell you himself …
Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX, accused “the media” and “elite colleges and high schools” of being “racist” against white and Asian people, espousing his views without providing evidence.
Tesla has been repeatedly sued for racial discrimination … the California Civil Rights Department alleged that Tesla has kept Black workers in lower-level roles at the company even when they have the skills and experience to be promoted to more senior roles; assigned Black workers more demanding, dangerous and dirty work in their facilities; and retaliated against Black workers who complained formally about what they endured, including racist slurs used by managers. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/26/elon-musk-calls-us-media-and-schools-racist-against-whites-asians-.html
As the CEO of an acquired company, he likely has a bunch of earnout provisions that are extremely dependant on the exact nature of his termination from the company which is why he’s trying to seek clarification from HR. Given that the terms of the deal were signed with previous management and Elon’s propensity to disregard existing contract terms with a “sue me bro” attitude, he did something extremely clever which was to bait Elon to state publicly as a matter of record what his status was in a way to make future lawsuits extremely easy.
There’s a reason why former executives are often given do-nothing jobs at large companies and it comes down to the contracts they sign and how it’s often cheaper to keep them around than fire them and there’s an entire staff of people diligently keeping track of all of these details and its likely that Elon fired all of the people responsible for that so he’s now firing Halli in a way that’s extremely expensive for him and not realizing it. Part of the reason Halli seems extremely not bothered by him being fired but extremely bothered that it is written down officially.
Yeah, my earlier take is looking a lot less accurate with the passage of time. Halli was so nice and deferential about it. Left out a very important detail, that Twitter bought his company for $100,000,000, deferred, which becomes payable when Twitter terminates him.
Elmo’s indiscriminate mass firings are turning out to have all kinds of interesting unintended consequences, aside from everything breaking. Agile cost savings!
Look when you’re a genius who sees things from a 20,000 foot level, $100,000,000 details just are not that important. These are the things that us mere mortals concerns ourselves with.
And yet, when Elmo tried to bribe the kid who was posting his jet’s location by offering the kid $5000, and the kid wanted more so it would cover his college tuition, Elmo refused to offer a penny more. When Elmo’s personal secretary asked for a raise, he fired her.
There would appear to be some question about exactly what altitude Elmo inhabits. There would appear to be reason to believe that it’s actually subterranean.
Didn’t he also expose the health condition that Halli has? I read that in another article. That’s another law suit. Plus firing him because he has a disability? Again, another lawsuit. Someone commenting on that article said something like, Dang, if only Stephen Hawking could type.
My family is the best. I have two kids. I see them every day. I recommend that.
We grew fast and made money. I think that’s what you are referring to when you say independently wealthy? That I independently made my money, as opposed to say, inherited an emerald mine.
The company had a fair amount of issues, but then again, most bigger companies do. Or even small companies, like Twitter today.
Anyway, I digress, are you still reading? Or is the bathroom break over?
But as I told HR (I’m assuming that’s the confidential health information you are sharing)…
