What’s IW and VAC? 8 years on H1, but can’t seem to catch up on the new lingo.

funny

IW is interview waiver (Dropbox eligible)
VAC is for visa stamping (but only the biometrics step)

this happened today to many, check the telegram groups

Had dinner with my conservative mom, uncle, and stepdad. All agree that overthrowing Liz Cheney was dumb, that 1/6 was a domestic terror attack by people claiming to be Patriots, and that Trump is a kook. “But I would never vote for a Democrat” was the prevailing theme. We have to understand this. They will never vote against the party line...

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
