Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

US Army is slashing thousands of posts in major revamp to prepare for future wars

The cuts will mainly be in already-empty posts — not actual soldiers — including in jobs related to counterinsurgency that swelled during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars but are not needed as much today.

AI might do my job today, but I'm getting paid for doing it back when I was still in

Sometimes I wonder if I should have gotten my act together and joined up. Might have even gotten into West Point if I gave half a damn at the time

i stay trying to tell folks - you can get shot, get ptsd, lose your family and more as a civilian and end up owing money. but in the military, at least you're compensated somewhat appropriately lmao

people been getting outperformed by excel spreadsheets and automation for decades. one union deals with that better than the rest tho

Man, this is why I think it funny when people talk about manual labor jobs are safe from A.I.

Robotics imo is the next big field in A.I, it's already underway as it stands.

shyt, if there's anything the U.S Military wants A.I for and what they'll fund, it's manual labor.

Some of the drones they're working on you already know are insane

What does that story have to do with AI?

That's the only good thing I say about government jobs is the pension. I get HOOPP as I work for a hospital, pension is matched. Also I've been working from home since march 2020 but no year end bonus, lucky to get a 3% raise but still thankful.

My mom is getting 3,500 a month from HOOPP and then 1,200 from CPP and then 700 from old age

And yeah my dad was a welder for over 40 years, no company pension. He got sort of lucky as the company closed when he was 63 and he got 150k severance. If not he would have retired with just what he had in the bank and CPP

Yea. My mom worked for the bank and got pension and she’s retired now telling me about all the money she gets every month. If a company is. Not giving you pension or favorable 401k match then they need to pay more.

Not to take the side of the faggit, but are there any stats that indicate we are in a recession or headed towards one?

Sadly this is going to lead to more cyber attacks similar to the one that Change Healthcare got hit with.

Majority of MFs being broke
Rate of Evictions
Rate of Repossessions
Number of Job Cuts
How hard it is for even skilled MFs to land gigs
Etc.
