A Facebook software engineer told CNBC on Tuesday that he was fired by the company for speaking out about his colleague’s suicide last month. Yi Yin joined Facebook’s core growth team in July and he was fired after he participated in a protest demanding justice for Qin Chen, an employee who committed suicide at the company’s headquarters on Sept. 19. “The reason why I stood out protesting and speaking to the media is because I don’t want Mr. Chen’s incident somehow happening to anyone again,” Yi said.

A Facebook software engineer told CNBC on Tuesday that he was fired by the company in part for speaking out about his colleague’s suicide last month. Yi Yin joined Facebook’s core growth team in July and he was fired after he participated in a protest demanding justice for Qin Chen, an employee who committed suicide at the company’s headquarters on Sept. 19. “We need the truth. We need a fair investigation on what on earth had happened,” Yin told ABC 7 at the protest on Sept. 26. Yin told CNBC he spoke with the press at the protest because he had heard rumors that Chen may have been an H-1B visa worker and worried about his future after receiving a poor performance review by his superiors. Chen worked in Facebook’s advertisement engineering team, which Yin and others said is notorious for being a high-stress unit. Yin did not know Chen, but said he believes
rumors that Chen
was bullied by his manager at Facebook. “I really want people to be aware of the H-1B abuse and also the PSC system,” Yin told CNBC. The PSC, or performance summary cycle, is Facebook’s performance review system, in which employees go through semi-annual reviews that include extensive peer reviews. Some employees have criticized the system for penalizing people who are good performers, but don’t participate in social activities with peers. Yin said he was not the only Facebook employee to attend the protest on Sept. 26, but his colleagues hid their employee badges while he did not. Yin informed the director of the core growth team about his participation and wrote a summary of the event. After the protest, Yin was contacted by Facebook’s human resources department. “To respect the privacy of [Chen] and his family please do not discuss the incident with anyone especially outside the company,” reads an email Yin received from Facebook HR on Sept. 26, which CNBC has seen. Yin says he received a final warning letter from HR on Oct. 1. On Oct. 3, he asked his team mentor if the final warning letter meant that he was going to be fired. On Oct. 7, Yin says, he received a call from HR informing him that he was being fired for speaking with the press and for making comments that made his colleague feel uncomfortable. “I’ve been under intense psychological pressure from HR,” Yin told CNBC. In an email confirming his firing, which CNBC has seen, Facebook also told Yin he would be required to pay back a portion of his sign-on bonus. Yin said he just paid back the bonus, which came out to $39,000. A Facebook spokesperson denied that Yin was fired for participating in the protest or talking to the media. “This employee was not fired for joining a protest or talking about the recent tragedy on our campus. He was here for a matter of weeks, and showed poor judgement in a string of policy violations. We won’t stand for our employees intimidating one another.” Facebook declined to offer further details about Yin’s case, saying, “We won’t get into the specifics of confidential, internal conversations.” Since his termination, Yin has spoken with the lawyers who are representing Chen’s family about his own situation. Like Chen, Yin is from China and on a work visa, so he must find a new job by the end of January or return to his home country. Additionally, Yin said he wrote a piano sonata dedicated to the Sept. 26 protest that he hopes to play in public this January. “The reason why I stood out protesting and speaking to the media is because I don’t want Mr. Chen’s incident somehow happening to anyone again,” Yin said.

工作移民的外籍人士不是奴隶，也有人权，不应该为了绿卡忍受雇主各种欺压。
强烈围观

并没有阻止 新闻上说Durbin提了一个新法案，包括解除国别限制
遭受家暴的人（如果其配偶是公民的话），受家暴者可以独立申请绿卡；工作签证的人，可以朝这个方向推动法律法规的改变。
他能转为共和党吗
RE。俺也正是想到配偶移民家暴可以独立申请的案列。
哪位大神知道如何可以 start the wheels turning？ 趁fb员工自杀这件事，要求改革工作移民外籍人士的人权。
没有阻止这法案两周前也许就通过了。新法案也要求把配偶子女放在计算绿卡配额之外（即绿卡数目至少翻倍），比那个386强多了。
S386的始作俑者之一Kamala Harris也是民主党 加州参议员
传粉没摊上事前是不会这么认为的。
我觉得也是fb的一种策略。宁愿赔钱给Yin Yi，也要fire掉，杀鸡给猴看。fb肯定想到Yin Yi会告的，但是settle的钱肯定fb觉得不是很大一件事。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
他是不是还隐瞒了什么谈话内容？
或是语言措辞给对方造成了某种误解？

这里的川粉赶快跑步过来，来骂猪党干的好事！
川粉就是精致的利己主义者的代表，短视愚蠢，只看见眼前一亩三分地。
她是印度人，当然挺印。同理杨安泽会挺华人
因为根本不care连装都不想装
不看细节和仔细计算的话，很容易认为386是对华人有利的。
个人立场不同，没必要贴标签和人身攻击
扯淡吧。
你知道durbin 为什么反对这个法案？他可不是好心为了帮中国人
所谓”短视“是因为火已经烧到了眉毛了， 再不救火就来不及了， 等到像欧洲加州一样满地火种的时候， 就要玉石俱焚了。。。。。
至于谁带大家救火并不重要，重要的是他有救火的决心和救火的行动。
我想这就是大部分川粉想的吧
顺势舆论，趁热打铁！
印度人会挺印度人。太多华人议员把华人利益拱手让人好谋取自己的政治资本了
这个事件，从员工的悲惨遭遇出发，声讨FB管理层的一手遮天，逆我者亡的黑社会品性，肯定会得到更多共鸣和社会支持。

难道S386不是民主党的众院通过的吗？
没错
这里不就有些ID给扎和管理层站台吗？还指责谴责YIN YI
充分说明都是利益啊，哪有什么理念。要是说理念的话，为什么民主党占多数的众议院会通过S386
