As an immigrant tech worker on visa (L1 to be specific) I find this comment cruel and tone deaf.

Losing my job means losing my status, which means having to leave the country in short notice, my wife losing her job as well, and uprooting my family (again). Sure, I would survive, but I would definitely call it a personal tragedy.

were you under the impression your job was guaranteed for life?

What a rude thing to say to someone who just lost their livelihood and ties to the place they live.

Do you ask grieving orphans if they expected their parents would live forever?
