Hi Rohan,
I'm a podcast producer for BillionTwenty Media an upstart podcasting company working on a story about the ease of doing business in India. I would love to interview you about your experience. I'm following you on Twitter as well, but your DMs are closed. Can you please email me at [email protected]?
> If he only saved the company thousands of dollars and did not generate new revenue, that explains why he was laid off.
It is not the job of the software engineer to generate revenue. A software engineer is a part of the process it's not his sole responsibility to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars. The point is to not get bogged down by the semantics of the performance review, the employee being laid off performed exceptionally well according to his supervisor despite which he is being laid off which the supervisor is not aware of.

One reason could be the age old old-age problem in the tech industry. The article mentions he is 57 years old(which should be irrelevant when hiring).
The article fails to mention that for the H1-B application a Labor Condition Application(LCA) has to be filed, which explicitly states that the employer will
"Pay the nonimmigrant workers at least the local prevailing wage or the employer's actual wage, whichever is higher; pay for non-productive time in certain circumstances; and offer benefits on the same basis as for U.S. workers;"[1]
Full disclosure: I'm on a H1-B and paid way more than the local prevailing wage for my position.
I'm guessing the OP is the Aradhya mentioned in the article.
1. Aradhya could've filed for H1-B for this year through his own company, since the deadline has passed for this, this is now irrelevant.
2. One option is to apply for O-1A visa awarded to individuals of extraordinary ability.
The US immigration system is definitely broken, but in this specific case, the change of status is not a sudden occurrence and Aradhya would've been aware that the policy change isn't happening in time and should've been prepared for it.
I have always thought a mentor-mentee relationship is essential for growth, either personal or professional. Even though I am doing things that I want to professionally (working for an early stage startup) I feel at times lost, scared and completely clueless. Being an Indian living in Nebraska it is almost impossible to find someone who can actually understand my concerns, shares my values and provide relevant help.
