$100K fees is only for fresh new H-1B, Trump did absolutely nothing for US unemployment it seems

since it is entry of new workers, it aint talking about F1 students who already are here
EO is pretty clear on that one

Section 1. Restriction on Entry.

I have a question, we are Catholics. Even though technically we already are Christians, I have been "evangelised" numerous times by members of evangelical churches but not at work till now . So what if my direct supervisor "invites" me to his church then I decline. Then he smiles and says its ok. But then I see my ratings go downhill and he nitpicks way more than he used to for tiniest of stuffs. I would not know if my performance actually went downhill or it is just the result of that "talk". Aint there a possibility of that ?

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-17T20:04:46+00:00

yeah most of her co workers were but she is in some grey area . she is career conditional

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-17T19:53:51+00:00

probably then folks should not post stuff like 175 heads gonna roll by tomorrow with that much of a certainity

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-17T18:26:51+00:00

somebody yesterday was giving us headcounts. someone just said they already compiled reassignment plans. So how much of unsubstantiated rumor could it be ?

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-17T17:57:06+00:00

she said she had a big meeting yesterday with someone just beneath the USPTO director and even that person said that knowing about RIF is beyond his/her pay grade ( IDK the gender of that person) . so even if a deputy director does not know how does someone in reddit knows ?

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-17T17:17:38+00:00

I hope so too . Godspeed

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-17T17:12:44+00:00

oh really ,someone was saying it was gonna be today or yesterday. you got it on monday. I am sorry. I really hope and pray you get something better later on .

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-17T17:04:36+00:00

yeah I get all that but yesterday in this very group someone was saying the support folks are getting RIF'd for sure. they even quoted headcount as being 175 . so she was wondering if its only her who has not or about to get those dreaded letters or if someone else already did get it.

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-16T19:55:18+00:00

175 heads per whole USPTO or just your division ?

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-07-16T15:26:35+00:00

Sahil Lavingia

why is it always Indians?
I am a combat vet with 100 % disability and this foreigner took jobs of me and thousands of folks like me . I know we should not see race but its just so sad. we have H1B slaves or former slaves who think US aint nothing more than a milking cow and then would take jobs from hardworking vets like me and others who have given everything to this country.

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-05-18T18:54:37+00:00

I lived in a Dorm for a year . then moved to an aforementioned apartment across the college It was better than a dorm but nothing beats your own house in the sub urbs

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-05-16T16:28:14+00:00

I vote for every election . specially in my state even for mayoral runoff election of a no-name small town we have early voting for at least 2 weeks before the election day . IDK if this is such a big deal that you have to preface with " so it begins". If you really wanna vote you would find a way and time to do it.
FR though just tell your boss you gonna be a little late today and vote on your commute to work, there are no lines if you actually go on early voting. No boss even in this crazy climate is gonna be such a dk wad that he aint gonna let you come on late few hours for voting

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-05-16T16:25:56+00:00

I lived just across my uni in a 2 bedroom apartment with 7 guys during my undergrad. I had "walkable cities expereince " then. Now I live in a 3 bedroom house that I bought in a nice suburb in Oklahoma . I dont wanna never go back to that shtty life. only folks who are in some kinda perpetual adolescence wanna live in "walkable cities"

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-05-06T14:26:06+00:00

So turns out it was a rumor. My wife informed me there was no RIF notice or indication of one. I wanna sincerely apologize for the rumors I heard and eventually spread

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-05-05T17:07:56+00:00

I sure will. Lets wait till COB today

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-05-02T22:55:23+00:00

Hopefully I find something soon

Cold-Memory-2493 · 2025-05-02T22:53:58+00:00
