may I ask what pays double that of FAANG?
> may I ask what pays double that of FAANG? Is Apple known for having high salaries? I was under the impression (possibly wrongly, I've never worked for Apple) that they underpay their engineers, relying on the engineers' desire to work for them because of their brand.

That isn't really true. Steve Jobs was no nonsense, but was most often merely direct rather than rude. One thing which Steve Jobs did do was go to great length to assemble highly qualified teams for missions that were clearly stated and understood and which all involved agreed were worthwhile even if there might be quibbles over details. The Apple that rescued itself from near death with colorful and fun designs and…
Jobs was a fucking asshole and should have died in prison along with the rest of the criminals.
Perhaps you don't owe Steve Jobs et. al. better, but you owe this community better if you're posting here. Much better.

That’s because you aren’t on a visa ?
Sure. But being on visa means your life must be hell? I don't think so. In this case visa was just an way to hurt.

This is not a bad solution, as long as the teams are on the same side (and know it too). I strongly believe that toxic culture is neither needed nor useful, ever.
How can one create a climate where they're on the same side? And no one is afraid of "losing" and worried about problems that might cause? (Eg getting fired, even if managers say won't happen)
I feel extremely uncharitable but I don't see any other comments raising this - this reads like a lot like the writings of people who believe they're being 'gangstalked'. Meetings being added/removed to calendars to mess with you, an 'implied' threat being left in the notes section of a hidden slide in a presentation, meeting notes being manipulated to make them look bad, this sort of thing. Maybe I'm just extremely…
I also feel uncharitable bringing this up, but it appears nobody in the comments has yet considered that this could be GPT-3 generated text. I only noticed this as a possiblity once you pointed out the random bolding. Some of the article items that seem suspect: - fully random bolding - long, rambling, not entirely coherent (understandable given the subject matter, of course. however, the author also has a PHD?) - in…
Dude go talk to a work comp attorney. You don’t have to pay up front and this is a textbook stress claim, esp if six months employment. It’s sad nobody knows their rights. Your first clue is the fact that they were pressuring you to resign. NEVER RESIGN. It sad he will be dealing with this stress for life but never thought that he should at least consult with an attorney??? THIS IS AMERICA. You think HR and those idi…
The author made a comment about GDPR privacy violations, but those are European laws that largely don't apply to American companies, especially related to internal HR matters. While I don't want to dismiss the complaints out-of-hand, it does seem like there's just a touch of exaggeration going on. Perhaps it's just a matter of perspective, but many of the complaints described could be chalked down to someone inexperi…
That meeting in the abandoned part of the building was scheduled because the sr. director wanted sexual favors. The meeting was scheduled by her manager, but later the director shows up out of blue and the manager leaves and says that "it's something very important". Thev director is the spider here: he's a true sociopath, probably admiring the evil already, has plotted the entire thing to make sure nobody would ever…

Are you sure that is correct? According to results from googling you get 60 days to find a new job if you got laid off from H1B job. https://www.stilt.com/blog/2020/05/steps-after-an-h1b-layoff... . Ps: to someone who downvoted, what don't you agree with?
You are right that I overstated this. You do have a window to try to find a new job. However, the new employer will need to be willing to sponsor a new H1B visa, and will need to get their part done within a fairly narrow timeframe. I agree that this is not an impossible scenario. But I also have a strong feeling that it's not a particularly likely one either.
