A harrowing tale from an H-1B aspirant has revealed the ugly side of the US corporate world.
A hardworking L-1B turned L-1A manager is now being pushed out silently without any real help from the company he helped grow. Taking to social media, the employee claims that despite applying three times for H-1B and even getting the ball rolling on EB-1, everything fell apart at the last moment.
As the employer failed to land an H-1B visa, they stopped trying and left the worker stranded. Now, with just three months left in the US, he’s stuck. No job offer. No transition plan. No aid from his company.
He realized the brutal reality of the job market when he faced 14 rejections for internal roles. What made it worse is that the company, aware of his situation, has hired his replacement, making him feel like a disposable object.
The L-1A holder feels harassed, abandoned, and utterly demotivated. This third-class treatment from employers and office politics takes a serious toll on workers, especially considering the current political environment in America.
While he is considering suing his company, it is a double-edged sword as the legal battle adds to the mental torture he would have to go through.
This story is a reminder for every Indian professional aspiring for an H-1B visa. Companies love talent but fail to do their part. And when things get complicated, you’re shown the door.
