Microsoft’s continuous firings over the past few years has put a tremendous amount of pressure on employees to demonstrate value. I have observed H1B holders especially affected by this pressure as getting laid off in this economy may well result in getting kicked out of the country. Pretty shameful stuff.

Shameful yes, but entirely expected from corporations that only care about profits. Sorry, shareholder value.

No doubt. They’ll only care about an employee dropping dead from stress if it causes enough negative press to affect shareholder value.
