While it could be a win-win situation I feel like the underpaid/job stealing argument will be even more heated by a service like this.

Also the fact that "transferring" a H-1B takes longer than the grace period you have when laid off/fired (1 month?). Unfortunately the "panic button" that I know some people use is to convert to a full time student and try again later.
