Big tech is thriving despite the layoffs::undefined
I’d say that they’re “cooking the books” as in: making it look like they’re in better shape than they are by cutting costs, but causing irreparable damage to themselves that will manifest in the long run.
I’ve survived 3 layoffs at Spotify last year alone. Once I started working there It didn’t take long to be proud and feel happy about it. Now, although people still find it cool when I tell them and I still do the same job (no workload increase), I know it is just like any other greedy corpo and I feel compelled to care less and less.
I just survived layoffs this week and I now give zero fucks about the company. People are scared and angry now… It’s really not a good way to get the most out of your employees
I have done it both ways. Stuck in out thru layoffs and jumped ship when they happened. Generally, if you can, I think jumping ship is better.
I thought I was working at a great company, now I wonder if I’ll be employed at the end of the year.
It sucks I know. Happened to me twice. If it helps any it probably wasn’t the people you worked with, it was a financial “engineer” who did this.
Yeah, apparently 3 trillion dollars isn’t enough to get by for the company
They are “thriving” because of layoffs, there is no more direct path to increase profits than to stop paying employees
For now. We are looking at the short term short sighted part of this right now and they will seem like they are thriving for a bit but, they were massive burnout factories to begin with. But increasing everyone’s workload Im sure will have absolutely no effect on that right…
