    I think I recently saw Microsoft put a request for 3x h4b visas more than the number of engineers they fired in the most recent firing wave.

    Pretty sure it was rubber stamped.

      They fire h1b folks too. I remember in 2014 when they fired several thousand people one guy from I dis was a new dad and suddenly he had no job and a deadline to find a new job that would “sponsor” him or else he and his family had to return to India. It was like 90 days or something. I still think about him sometimes and hope he’s ok.
