you underestimating how well a mega corpo parasite can survive imho

Dell just quietly laid off a bunch of people last week

The beatings will continue until tech workers unionize.

There will definitely be more, especially as the economic situation in the US continues to worsen. Big tech works under the unsustainable model of unlimited growth, and even if profits increase, if they don't increase "enough" they lay off workers. They could save a ton of money by laying off execs, but they'll never do that.

I've found layoffs.fyi to be pretty up to date with tracking how many people are laid off in the tech sector. It's no wonder that it's nearly impossible to find a job in tech, and these execs and boards are to blame.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered a career change, not because of the work itself but because I'm exhausted from worrying about if I'll have a job to pay the bills tomorrow. The only thing stopping me is that I have no idea what I'd do otherwise.

And when they start going down financially, they might invade Madagascar or Guyana or something like that as a last resort and turn into a pirate republic, having enough troops. Yes.
