Ashish Kalsi wrote on LinkedIn that they stared at each other in "disbelief" that morning as their daughter slept.

Kalsi said he's on an H-1B visa and has a 60-day "countdown" to find a new role or leave the US.

There are job openings all over the place. Americans do this all the time, go get another job. It might even be better.

Exit Question: What if these people want to work for themselves, free-lancing?

Egads. Downright un-American! Not a real-world "job" so it was fake anyway.

Nothing trustworthy or safe about it, so there.

I seriously doubt that “an associate principal of global engagement on Google’s trust and safety team” writes code. I’m not sure what it actually does, though ...

Not a bit, I’m sure. They know they won the lottery.

Come over. Take someones job. Bring the wife over and have her pop out a citizen. Never have to leave and then bring the whole family over.

Musk is now successfully running titter with something like 100 “engineers”. If anybody still bench marks that should set a new low mark for how few it really takes to maintain a platform after the coding is finished.

Rightfully this should send shock waves of layoffs through the industry.

Not bitter, moron.

Just a realist. Unlike some on here who live in fantasy land.

I talk it Elon and Ron have given you a little time off to get some rest.

A foreigner was hired by Google to be a censor.

We can all hope their new job is shoveling cow waste back in their home country.

"Exactly what does “an associate principal of global engagement on Google’s trust and safety team” do?"

Well they arrive anywhere between 11 and 1:45
Stop at the juice bar for their favorite free beverage
Play a game of foosball
Attend a meeting
Meditate in the 'sunrise room' before a few minutes in the sauna.
Do some work.
grab a drink and some snacks
head to the outdoor tanning beds
Attend a meeting/jam session
check their email
have a few games of pool while waiting for their 6PM ride home on the free shuttle.

I’m GLAD that he got booted and is imperiled by possibly having to go back to his own country. We never needed him here anyway.

Be assured that this putz will lie, cheat, steal and mislead ANY prospective employer to forestall his forced return to his mother country. Good Riddance.

“I talk it Elon and Ron have given you a little time off to get some rest.”

A realist would support both if that realist were also a conservative.

They have a person on the payroll who's job is to figure that out.

All they have to do is take a bus to Mexico and come back illegally. No deportation ever.
