Visas like H-1B can be limiting career mobility until the employee gets a green card. Under H-1B quitting a job means committing to move back to your country in a month or so. It's traumatic.

Yeah, this is literally the only thing stopping me from taking a "hard judgement" position like "if you worked at Twitter after 2023 I have serious questions about your judgement and I probably won't hire you."

The way H1-B employees are treated is ignominious. It breaks my heart to think of the situation these poor people are in - and make no mistake: In their hearts they want to treat _you_ that way, too. Speak out about it while you can, because you're next.

If I were H-1B I would stay, but only until I got a new job to sponsor me.

And I would be looking as hard as I could.
