>be me>American citizen, 8 years at Amazon>Nov 'restructuring' - 2 weeks severance, escorted out>see leak: H1B workers 'stuck' in India get to work remotely>on FULL US salary ($300k+) until March>same managers who threatened my team with RTO>same teams that 'couldn't function' without daily standupsThe kicker? They're BANNED from coding, testing, documentation, customer interaction, strategic decisions, contract negotiations, and team management.So let me get this straight: while citizens get 2-week severance, visa workers get 3 months of paid vacation disguised as 'remote work'?If they can't code, can't talk to customers, can't make decisions, and can't manage teams - what exactly are they doing to earn $300k? Garden leave for 'exceptional talent' while citizens get shown the door?The math isn't mathing.Three questions that should get this anchored:1. If visa workers can 'work' from India without writing a single line of code, why was I commuting 1hr for 'essential in-person collaboration'?2. Amazon is cutting 2,400 headquarters jobs while filing 14,783 H-1B applications annually. They're not replacing citizens with 'better talent' - they're replacing them with workers who legally can't do the job while stranded abroad.3. How is this not corporate fraud? We're paying US salaries for workers who, by Amazon's own policy, can't perform core job functions. That's not a visa program, that's a wealth transfer with extra steps.Who else watching their company pull this exact bait-and-switch? Notice how every 'tech layoff' targets citizens while visa quotas stay full? Notice how 'performance issues' only affect people who can vote?https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-visa-delays-prompt-india-remote-work-with-strict-restrictions-2025-12https://www.teamblind.com/post/breaking-amazon-is-cutting-2400-jobs-at-its-headquarters-but-is-making-every-effort-to-protect-its-h-1b-workforce-vgl1fmke
>>525757371Serious legal question: Are these H1B workers on "garden leave" actually violating visa terms?H1B requires you're doing "specialty occupation" work. But Amazon's own policy says they can't code, test, document, or talk to customers. So what 'specialty' work remains? Attending Zoom meetings? Forwarding emails? Watching training videos?If a US citizen got caught collecting salary for 3 months while producing nothing, they'd be fired for cause. But visa workers get 'protected' because firing them triggers government reporting requirements.This looks like visa fraud with extra steps. Keep them on payroll to avoid H1B revocation paperwork, call it 'remote work' to avoid WARN Act notices, and claim they can't do tasks so when productivity drops you have a built-in excuse.Corporations figured out how to turn visa workers into 90-day notice period employees that the government won't let them fire. Citizens get 2 weeks because we're 'at-will.' The visa program created a perverse incentive where guest workers have MORE job security than citizens.
>>525758011Doing the math on this 'exceptional talent' charade:>$300k salary in India = purchasing power of $1.2M USD>Worker produces nothing (banned from coding, customers, decisions)>Corp keeps them on US payroll (avoids 'outsourcing' optics)>Corp claims H1B 'critical need' while laying off citizens>Corp gets 90 days to 'arrange' replacement (often another visa worker)Every citizen they fire = one less vote in Seattle, one less voice asking why India gets to export labor but we can't export jobs. Every H1B they 'protect' = one more worker who can't unionize (visa tied to employer), can't vote, and can't complain about the 2am meetings.

>>525759950This is a two-tiered system designed to drain you dry. They won't stop until they face physical consequences.
>>525757371Thanks Elon.
>>525757371Gather information and send to US government.They will cancel their H1B if they work remotely outside the country.
