I'm going to play the devil's advocate here and point out that Green Card holders being chained to an employer is not Apple's fault.
That's a good point, our stupid federal policies are incentivizing this behavior from Apple. If they hire more Green Card holders, then they have employees that they can pay less, and they literally CAN'T quit for fear of deportation.
But Apple is also the richest company in the world and they employ enough lawyers to know that they're not supposed to do this kind of shit, so I don't really have sympathy for them in this case.
Green card is permanent residence, you're confusing it with H1B Visa
Fair enough, I'm privileged enough to not know the details. But all the big companies do shit like that
H1B holders are chained to the employer (as are other visas), but green card holders are not. Source: green card holder.
