Meta fires Indian man relocated to Canada just two days after joining the company

Two days after starting work at IT giant Meta, an Indian guy who had moved to Canada for the position was fired. Himanshu V is one of the more than 11,000 Meta employees affected by the mass layoffs that CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced earlier this week.

Himanshu vented his frustration on LinkedIn. "I moved to Canada to join #Meta, but two days after I started, my journey came to a stop because I was affected by the significant layoff. My heart goes out to anyone going through a challenging time right now, he wrote in the LinkedIn post. He stated that he is seeking positions as a software engineer in Canada and India. Sincerely, I'm clueless! Whatever comes after this, I'm anticipating it. Please let me know if you are aware of any openings or hiring for a software engineer in Canada or India, according to the post.

On LinkedIn, Himanshu's post has received a lot of attention, garnering over 7,000 reactions and numerous comments.

The business has also promised immigration support for Indians and other foreign workers who operate out of Meta United States offices. These layoffs have put many H1B visa holders in trouble. The affected individuals now have only 60 days to obtain employment; if they fail to do so, they will be forced to return to their hometown.

I know this is particularly challenging if you're here on a visa, Zuckerberg said in his blog post. There are notice and grace periods before termination, as well as some visa grace periods, so everyone will have time to plan and resolve their immigration situation. Based on your needs and those of your family, our immigration specialists can provide you with guidance, he added.
