I’ve been at Visa for four years now, and the atmosphere in the office today is absolutely suffocating. Ever since the news hit on the 10th, it feels like we’re all just waiting for the other shoe to drop. My team leads keep saying everything is 'business as usual' for the upcoming quarter, but I’ve seen three senior engineers walk out with boxes in the last two hours. There’s a lot of nervous chatter about severance packages, but the real elephant in the room is the visa situation. I’ve talked to a few colleagues who are essentially panicked right now—they have sixty days to find a new role or they’re effectively out of the country. It’s brutal watching people who have contributed so much just get scrubbed from the directory overnight. Does anyone know if the severance includes any legal support for those on H-1Bs? The silence from leadership is deafening, and honestly, the lack of transparency is making everyone consider jumping ship before they get pushed.

It’s honestly grim. I’ve been watching people head toward the conference rooms all morning, and the look on their faces tells the whole story. Management keeps pushing that 'business as usual' narrative, but that's just insulting at this point. If you’re seeing empty desks already, just start polishing your resume and saving your documentation. The uncertainty is the worst part, but don't count on transparency from leadership. Keep your head down and get your personal files off your machine while you still have access.
