It would be interesting to know what portion of Twitter employees are on work visas and can’t easily take the offer to quit.

I’d guess an international company like Twitter had several hundred people on H-1B, L1 and similar visas. After these voluntary layoffs it seems like there might be 2,000 employees left, so at least 10% of them would be on work visas by this napkin math.

Seems the # of employees left is close to or under 1000. About 230 of those are on H1-Bs, I didn't look up others. There's additional information per table entry or you can download the data.

i won't link to them, but this is public information, at least for the H1-B. you can find the number for a given company and their respective positions.

Anyone else has a link to this public information?
