I'm sick of being laidoff. Got laid off again today, second time in 4 years in a big corporate layoff. Seems I can't ever find any respite these days. No matter how hard I work or how much I put in, just bound to be laid off and even though I've been recognized officially through merit repeatedly, these companies here in the USA just keep laying people off And then passing all the jobs on to India for 3K a year salary....

So disheartening. At this rate I might as well just retire from White collar work and go and learn a trade as a tradesman, completely redo my entire life goals

@DuckWrangler9000@lemmy.world I feel you, I have a few other comments here because I feel you so hard. I've been there also twice in the last 3 years.

I wanted to give you advice if you decide to stay in White collar (and trust me, I understand the feeling, I was a hair close to buying a bar. Slinging drinks seems a lot less stressful than dealing with corpo).

My advice though. Take a few days to process, play some video games, veg out. Then, on top of job searching and all, decide on something new to learn. If you're IT/development, this is crucial now, and my advice will follow for those roles. The days of "I'm just a react dev" are ending, or at least the market has been flooded, and AI is making it easy for junior devs to pretend that they're more than what they are. It's another evolution of our job, get out in front of it. If you're a programmer for example, learn how models work, how to run them, how to call them, how to train them. Learn kubernetes. Learn infrastructure. Learn skills that you never would have before that set you apart. That's what we're going to have to do if we want to remain employable.

One silver lining is that you have time right now, time to set aside and learn something really useful. I set up a k8s cluster at home and forced myself to learn it during my unemployment, and now it's my job
