Get the fuck out and go back to your home shithole country. Take a
Democrat with you.

A Microsoft software engineer of nearly two years was among the company's 10,000 laid-off workers in January and said it left her with many
unanswered questions.

Lupe Canaviri Maydana, from Seattle, Washington, wrote in a Monday
LinkedIn post — a week after learning she'd been let go — that there had
been a "lot of things to process" including the daunting thought of where
she would be living.

"This change hit me with a lot of questions, which in the next months I
will have to figure it out," she wrote, before listing some of her
questions: "Where will I be living? Which role will I take? Which company
will be next in my journey?"

The information listed on her LinkedIn profile, including her previous employment and which university she attended, indicates she is originally
from Bolivia.

Maydana is on an H-1B visa, which means she only has 60 days from the day
she was relieved from her employment duties to find another job or she
will need to depart the United States, according to Herman, a law firm
that specializes in immigrant rights.

She worked at Microsoft as a front-end developer, according to her
LinkedIn profile. As part of some of her achievements, she wrote in the
job's description that she "implemented a tool to get analytics of how
around a million users are interacting with Ads Web App."

Maydana also wanted to thank the people who helped her learn and grow: "I
am grateful for having the opportunity to work with such brilliant people
and in a product that billions of people are using daily."

Her next challenge: finding out if she can get another job within the next
60 days of her grace period.

Maydana is among thousands of other employees who have had their life
upended amid mass layoffs sweeping across the tech industry. A Google
engineer found out she had been laid off when her boss sent her a LinkedIn message while she was on vacation.

Maydana didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by Insider,
made outside normal working hours.

As an American expatriate, I can speak on this from a similar perspective
- she must be prepared to return to her home country. It is not a cruel anti-immigrant paradigm, as is being painted in articles such as these, it
is a reality for expatriate workers everywhere.
