Does anyone think that when there are layoffs, those on visa should be let go first?

No it should be based strictly on performance and utilization. Those on visas often have the best technical skills. It's why they are hired in the first place. And frankly, right now the only thing that's really selling is technology consulting.

I am biased because I am an ex-visa holder. I would keep the best performers, and the people who stand out in terms of technical and sales skills. We are in a global business, not the Republican Party, thank God.

Remember, those "on visa" already beat "native" people at first place to even get the job. I say if you are worse than a foreigner who does not have any of the "American" privileges, you should feel ashamed and quit yourself. We are in a global industry with multi national clients and yet its amazing how people brag about travel, airlines, and hotels, and are completely close-minded at the same time

Although I do not agree with OPs premise, I will say this. Indians can be super cliquish, and I have seen this at my firm, and a lot of time they talk in Hindi in front of other people who don't speak the language. I know basic Hindi so it doesn't offend me but it excludes others and is rude.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%
