I’d hire any h1b out of FB if they wanted to leave. Will even pay market rates. Market is very tight on software engineers.

  Yes most people probably can find a new job without being actually kicked out. You still only have a little time to find a job. Just because you could find something fast doesn’t mean it’s not stressful, especially if you were fired for performance reasons.

  The problem is they /can't/ leave. It's indentured servitude and a wage supression program.

    They can leave, it’s not hard to transfer a h1b. I bet a majority of FBs h1bs were poached from other companies or visa transfers.

      I’m talking about situations where they are possibly fired.

        I can only speak personally on termination of employment. When dealing with a low performance h1b employee, they were treated exactly like a regular employee and were given a low performance review. The company did stack ranked based year cuts so he knew he that he had a high change of getting cut with a below expectation performance review and a PIP and had 3 months to look for a job. Firing h1bs out of blue would make it hard to hire other h1bs. There maybe companies that abuse the situation, i have yet to see it. Most people aren't sociopaths and have empathy. Being a terrible leader/person makes it hard to do startups since talent won't follow you.
