I have in the past refused and started looking for a new job the moment my employer asked me to use my personal accounts for company work. That was a major breach of personal boundaries which I did not find acceptable. But clearly, it doesn't seem that the author had the liberty to say no:
> Part of me was concerned about my future, my visa, I just moved, The lease.
This is one of the major reasons why I left the US after a few years of my own accord; green card / citizenship wait times for Indians are nonsensical if you are not provably extraordinary or haven't married a US citizen. I could be wrong, but it seems that the author is still young, doesn't have many dependents or responsibilities. Their mental state would've been a lot worse, and they'd have been a lot more vulnerable to workplace manipulation if they had children and a mortgage to think about. Even if they had a good manager today, there's no guarantee they'd keep having a good manager a few years from now before their green card arrives.
I found it a cruel joke that a country that prides itself on "freedom" and "liberty" is perfectly happy keeping people, directly or indirectly, in circumstances where they do not actually have freedom and liberty for decades. The crueler joke is that a lot of said people find this arrangement perfectly acceptable even when they have other options.
