layoffdepressed

you are absolutely right, there is always a choice, but some choices are bad and they are at the end of your choice list, so deep that you don't even consider it anymore as an option.

this is exactly what's happening, fear is killing my mind, day by day I am getting worse and doing stupid mistakes. while talking to management my blood pressure going up, because I fear if leadership thinks I am not good, I will be laid off soon

can't edit my post, but thanks everyone for the support and advice! all of them are really helpful

it is, but I haven't noticed it in smaller scale, daily things. You don't bribe school to take your kid, you don't bribe kindergarten and many other places. Every country has different issues, but USA has 1st world issues, compare it to other countries where people are starving. Totally different topic to debate

you are not wrong. Problem is, consequences layoff might bring to our lives. For some people finding a job is taking 3-4 months, financially I can afford myself not having any job for a year, but visa makes it very difficult for us to stay.

If I get laid off, need to immediately go back to my corrupt country. Do I want my kids get absolute bad education, bad environment to grow up? No.

It's not easy to get visa to USA again
