I work in games. Its fucking incredible looking at my linkedin. I would say about 80% of my coworkers throughout my career are out of work right now. I started my own company because I was sick of it.

I'm genuinely curious to hear how you've found it easier to land clients than employers. In my experience, you really need a good in with a bigger firm if you're going to have any hope of launching a business. Unless your old employer is jettisoning their contracts as quickly as they jettison their staff, that can be tricky.

Yeah, Trump’s making America great by killing white collar industries

True(ish).

and offering factory jobs

Flatly false.

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Offering. Not actually delivering. It's a key attribute of the GOP, make shit up that appeals to the lower educated and fleece the ignorant twats.

But I suppose I need to spell that out to all types.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Haha. Yeah. Stupid Republican voters.

shuffles feet through the tattered remains of all the liberal broken promises

What's this? Someone said that one was perfect and the other was shit? My gosh!

I agree, let's say fuck it, throw our hands up and just let what happens happen.

They're both just as bad as each other.

Or some equal stupid shit.

It is very vague and it says it is not for performance reasons. I wonder if early retirement packages are being offered too. If they are getting rid of some management layers they are looking to remove some of the higher paid staff so they can bring in younger folks who will be making less to start and also opening up opportunities for advancement. Over time those management layers get overfilled and no one below them can move up and that incentive is lost.

I used to work for a west coast tech giant. Their early retirement package was: "you are retiring now, goodbye" along with a severance just large enough to disqualify me from unemployment. At least I didn't have to spend months pretending to look for work.
