Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

- Start date
sounds like potential for a new oversight role(s) with dramatically reduced head count than one that would shield experienced SWEs.

Just had the convo with my manager about the future. Maybe good for the next 12 months at least, my team are well wanted as we’re making profit 
I mean experienced swes don't grow on trees and most people are shifty developers.
If you are a good coder and have machine learning under your belt.
You won't be out of a job. In my opinion as someone in the industry
I think you'll have a good chance at an oversight role but still playing musical chairs.
But yeah, the big banks and a lot of the AI people are flip flopping on what is at risk for early automation.
Because blue collar workers were eating.

Block is the latest major tech company to conduct large-sale layoffs. The company is reportedly letting go around 1,000 workers, with Cash App, Foundational and Square bearing the brunt of the impact.

maybe again we are still in the early days. I'm sure we all remember when cell phone cameras were utter trash and now new phones can take a shot that only a 3,000 dlsr could 10 years ago
The scary thing in the past alot of these cuts they would be like early retirement packages or through attrition not replacing once a old foggy retires. Now its just cutthroat

I'm on a company town hall now with the CEO talking about how many jobs our competitors have cut in the last few months while pretending we didn't do the same lol. Makes it hard to trust them when they say that we won't be doing the same again.
There was only decency holding them back. With interest rates as high as they are, the big ponzi needs blood to keep pumping.The bloodbath continues. Something tells me quarterly layoffs are gonna be normalized by the end of this war
Hopefully we will see more unions.
Incorrect.
Sec+ is definitely the most important of the entry certs. Some companies, and the government, requires it only to give you access to remote into other computers. I don’t know your experience level or what certs you have, but if you don’t get this job, you may want to look into A+. Eventhough A+ isn’t looked upon in the same light as Sec+, it could help you get other help desk jobs or work at an actual computer repair shop that will help you as you gain more education/experience. Good luck and hope you get this job
