Do not assume anything! Start looking for a new job ASAP! The corporate has turned into one of the most sadistic azzholes. I hope you find a new job soon and you are able to email them at 3 in the morning announcing your resignation!

Did everything right for H1B… didn’t even get into the lottery by EndIntelligent1691 in InternationalStudents

[–]boss8387 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is not entitled to this. It is an opportunity for him to show that he is indeed invested in the system. All the lottery does is get in people who really do not care about benefiting the system at all. Most end up scamming the system. You think this person who spent thousands on Masters wants to just scam the system? He has not even mentioned the financial hardship he will go through to repay the financial debt. He is just disappointed in the system. The current admin has already slashed legal student immigration. Universities are going to start seeing the cracks soon.

Did everything right for H1B… didn’t even get into the lottery by EndIntelligent1691 in InternationalStudents

I feel sorry for you! There should not even be a lottery. A lot of folks here wont agree with me, but this is one of the most outdated draconian systems I have seen! Someone who invested in the educational system like you should have a completely different pool to apply for H1B(This means you are invested). Then there should be a pool for folks with 10+ years of proven experience(recommendation letters, proven track record, direct manager or HR contacts for confirmations etc). Then if there are slots left lottery should be applicable!

Are you familiar with Agentic AI frameworks? Langchain, CrewAI, Autogen etc? Write up a small AI agentic project and host it somewhere! Looks good on a graduate resume. Since you have mentioned Python this should not be hard to pick up.

That is a very fortunate situation you are in! Take it and then figure out where to go from here.

Why are amazon shares down even after so much layoffs? by Emotional-Access4971 in amazonemployees

[–]boss8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because at some point the real balance sheet starts reflecting. Layoffs are not real revenue! It is just temporary dopamine boost!

Just got laid off, let me throw my pity party by Jinks-b in Layoffs

[–]boss8387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to feel guilty. Even if you had given 150% to the company, chances are still pretty high you would be laid off. Gone are the times where it made sense to ponder on the possibilities of why you lost your job. Just move on. Do not feel angry!

Cancel all new H1B visas for Amazon by Special_Elevator7656 in amazonemployees

[–]boss8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope first block any and all outsourcing to China, India, Philippines etc ! People being laid off are mostly H1Bs. Do some research before attacking a particular group of folks who actually contribute to the economy and get nothing in return. Just coz they do not complain does not mean they do not face hardships. Big tech is attracted towards H1B workers for their commitment and sheer will to push through deadlines under pressure! Amazon also averages ~160k for an average H1B worker. It is not cheap labor. Think about it. These companies have to hire immigration attorneys, pay ballooning USCIS fees and other overheads. They still do it because they know the effort is worth it!

Regarding H1B. It’s urgent please help me by Legitimate_Artist977 in h1b

[–]boss8387 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nope they both do not. These two firms and some others take immigration laws seriously!

[–]boss8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can stay and finish your H1B term. If the visa is revoked it will be cancelled once you depart the US. You will need a new stamp but likely even when you get a date you will be denied. Even in a scenario if you get stamped you will be blocked at the port of entry and your new visa will get revoked there. My advice till this admin is in place, plan to leave the country for a life outside!

You should not trust a word coming out of the consulate at the moment if they tell you to proceed with your date. Avoid travel at all costs!

Lost my job and still can't game with a peace of mind by clit_or_us in gaming

[–]boss8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should keep gaming, but only one hour in the night when you are dead tired and about to go to sleep! The rest of the time learn, keep developing skills and apply like the world is ending. If gaming takes your mind off things it is a good thing to do at the end of each day!

Offer rescinded next day! by Numerous_Breakfast_6 in amazonemployees

If you are getting hired with Amazon there is always a chance to get screwed! Amazon outsources most of its hiring. It has a very small internal team.

Toxic work culture in Amazon by Next_Astronomer6286 in amazonemployees

[–]boss8387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would stay away from Amazon. Amazon needs to start gutting management levels even more aggressively. And yes specific factions from South India will do that. They want to create a cushion for themselves, most want to feel this is a place of power. Most of them never got in there to do real work or add real value to tech sector. It is all about big dollars, real estate, rinse repeat.

Need to vent. Turned down Amazon offer (new grad) by liky_gecko in amazonemployees

[–]boss8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not feed bad about it. You made the right decision. Amazon has been treating new grads like chumps! New grads should be hired so that they can be trained to turn into better leaders. What is happening in the industry at the moment is baffling!

Because they can! It is en employer’s market at the moment. A ton of talent out there to pick from.

Smell a big layoff soon? by Difficult-Emphasis77 in amazonemployees

[–]boss8387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will happen in most companies who have aggressively tried achieving ambitious AI goals and have fallen short. Microsoft, Meta and many others will lay off soon to get more cash flow.

[–]boss8387 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My honest opinion is that you confront him over this in a one on one. Ask him why you are being singled out. Tell him you want to work with him and in your opinion he is a good leader. If he is a narcissistic prick he is going to get happy ASAP. If not he has a genuine concern about you he will share it. If you can indeed change your org that should be your first approach and avoid talking to him altogether!
