My friend, an immigrant to my country, was laid off two weeks ago and wasn't able to land a new job. She was 4 months away from getting her PR, but without a new job, she wouldn't qualify. After many stressful nights of crying, doing resume review and interview practice, she YOLO'd and sent the CEO of her old company an email asking to be employed until she got the PR, and the CEO simply said "Sure".
Absolutely crazy, and rare to see that sort of compassion. I'm super happy for her, even though it might be awkward, but getting over this cusp will lock her in on her new life.

That’s definitely rare. Good for her and her CEO
