Meta Layoffs: What’s Fate Of Indians In USA?

One of the biggest tech companies in the world and leading social media platform, Meta has officially started the layoff procedure where the company is firing around 7000 employees.

The situation is particularly detrimental for the Indian population in the United States, which has been associated with this mega company as their fate appears to be very problematic now.

The situation now is such that Meta playoff emails are virtually changing the lives of the Indian working population as losing the job at this point in time could threaten the existence of the Indian families there.

Indian tech workers laid off by US firms like Meta and Amazon face a 60-day deadline to find new jobs or leave due to H-1B visa rules. Many are seeking alternative visas or transfers, as layoffs and slow hiring threaten their residency, families, and green card hopes.

Another viral social media post had this interesting take on the story regarding the impact on the Indian demographic in the USA.

An Indian engineer at Meta gets the layoff email at 11pm Bangalore time. His wife is on H-4. His kid is in 3rd grade in Seattle. His Bellevue apartment lease has 8 months left. His H-1B clock just started ticking in 60 days.

Meta's stock went up on the news. Zuck called it becoming more efficient. This is what AI transformation actually looks like for 2 lakh Indians abroad. Ai impact on Indians abroad is highest, this post read.

Turns out to be that Indians are some of the most affected population due to the Meta layoff, and this could be the case with several other mass layoffs in the US as well.
