在美国持续裁员和签证危机的背景下，一位上周在美国经历解雇的Reddit用户在社交媒体上分享了其令人揪心的遭遇。
Amid ongoing layoffs and visa crisis in the US, a Reddit user who experienced employment termination in the US last week shared their distressing circumstances on social media.H-1B worker fears losing visa status after sudden layoff In a Reddit post titled ‘laid off on H1B’, the user said, “Life cannot be worse,” explaining that they requested to remain on the company's payroll to preserve their H-1B status while searching for a new position.
H-1B工作者担心突遭裁员后失去签证身份在一篇标题为“H1B被裁员”的Reddit帖子中，该用户表示：“生活不能更糟了。”他们解释说，曾请求继续留在公司薪资名单上以保住H-1B身份，以便寻找新职位。然而，公司因法律顾虑拒绝了这一请求，这可能会让该Reddit用户的移民身份陷入风险。不过，公司提供了遣散费。
However, the company declined due to legal concerns, which could potentially put the Redditor's immigration standing at risk. They, however, provided a severance package.
该工作者可能有资格获得长达60个连续自然日的宽限期，或直到其授权有效期届满，以二者中较早发生者为准。

I have been in the US for 8 years and all of a sudden I lost everything I have.”
该用户事先未收到任何关于裁员的通知。目前，尽管已提交100份求职申请并利用私人推荐，就业前景依然有限，一周以来仅获得一次面试机会。
“我拼命申请工作，一周提交了100份申请，目前只有一个面试。朋友们到处帮我内推，但大多没用，”该Reddit帖子写道。“如何在这样的就业市场生存下去？我现在很绝望。”
The user received no advance notification regarding the layoff. Currently, despite submitting 100 job applications and leveraging personal referrals, employment prospects remain limited, with only a single interview opportunity materialized to date.“I tried to apply for jobs like no tomorrows and had 100 applications and 1 interview so far after a week. I had friends to give me referrals everywhere but most didn't help,” the Reddit post read.“How to survive this job market? I am desperate now.”
网友反应与此同时，该Reddit用户的评论区涌入数条“残酷”的留言，许多人假定该用户是印度人。
“回国吧。这样提心吊胆地活着毫无意义，也没有内心平静。好在你有家可回，想想阿富汗人、乌克兰人或伊朗人吧。知足吧，”一人评论道。“你可以无限期申请一年延期。
Redditors reactMeanwhile, the comment section of Redditor got filled with several ‘cruel’ comments, with many assuming that the user is an Indian.“Come back home. No point living life on the edge like this with no mental peace. Luckily you have a home to return to, think about the Afghans, Ukrainians or Iranians. Count your blessings,” one person commented.“You can apply for 1 year extensions indefinitely. Sounds like he had a good run of it. Best thing to do would be to go home now and start the timer on being outside the US for 1 year,” another said.
“听起来他过得不错。最好的做法是现在回国，开始计算在美国境外停留满一年的时间，”另一人说道。
