Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[Spence]

Meta is bolstering perks like happy hours and company swag as it pushes staff to return to office, despite its 'year of efficiency'

The company has revived a number of employee perks, according to Bloomberg, including branded t-shirts, laundry services, and free haircuts.

Don’t nobody want NONE of that shyt

I remember early during the pandemic when offices were trying to reopen and guilt trip employees by saying those showing up were enjoying getting free snacks and pizza parties

and that bytch was still empty with only a handful who hated their families or home lives ever showed up according to reports months later

Provided that tech stocks don't drop by a surprise 10%, I suspect that we're entering a period in which tech companies once again grow their headcounts.

I wonder if someone will try to pull up to a whiteboard interview with one of these

They should turn the building into employee living quarters with free rent. That would be the only way to get people back in the office

I want to hate but I can see this being very useful for certain groups of people

Yeah, I think it's be dope for collaboration and brainstorming.

When people are drawing out diagrams on a whiteboard, blueprints, etc. you can ask ChatGPT Vision to analyze and come up with something.

It's like being as smart as everyone else in that room really.

Doubt they will work that efficiently. Making good progress though.

Been seeing a few more back to back layoffs in my network on linkedin. Just people saying they been laid off. These are smaller tech companies.

A lot of job switching going on too. People getting great offers out there.

Personal experience: been getting hit up a lot lately and I haven't even turned on my "seeking new opportunities" flag.

The last one who I had a conversation with asked if I knew anybody looking for a new role because they have a lot of companies looking for software engineers right now.

I gave them a reference because I'm trying to get somebody on but they told me they're not looking for entry-level.

So it sounds like a lot of companies are trying to get back talent they let go, but they're kind of screwed because the people they let go got hired somewhere else.

Some people are going to be in deep shyt for pointing out who'd be "ok" to lay off only to find out how critical they were and now can't get them back.
