Can we please recognize that this is a holiday weekend and Elon rammed a big release forcing his engineers to come in and iterate multiple patches over the last 12 hours.

Twitter Engineers have had over a year to get out and find another job. At this point the terms of their employment and the expectations from their boss are all crystal clear. Hard to sympathize with those who continue to stick around for whatever reason.

Someone pointed out that it looks like most of the workers that stayed at Twitter appear to be foreign born and are probably reliant on Twitter's sponsorship of their H1-B visa.

Can sponsored H1-B visa holders look for another sponsorship to try to switch jobs, or would they get deported after resigning from "hardcore Twitter"?

>>voytec+uC1
They would need to go through the process again of a new visa with the new potential employer. It's a real pain.

I would imagine a lot of the H1 b visa holders are there just to let their visa run out while making some money.

Anyway it doesn't matter. This isn't and engineer problem. It's a management problem. The management is the definition of incompetent.

I agree that this is very much a management problem. Incompetent management, to add. I'm just curious why would these engineers stick for so long. Everything I read about Twitter nowadays suggest a highly toxic work environment. And from experience: having an unstable boss is tiring, to say the least.
