Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[Spence]

HR is definitely one of the more detestable departments in an organization.

Hey, it’s a dirty and necessary department, is what it is.

When it comes down to it, what do people use apps and software for? It's basically one of these three (fourth is really the 2nd category):

Communication
Productivity for things such as tracking progress, schedules, simplification, assistants or tools/gadgets that have replaced things like GPS, cameras, etc.
Entertainment for games, photoshop, music making, etc.
Research (kind of belongs to Productivity as more like a tool for someone to use so not really it's own category)

People even make apps for another category and combine them, like apps that track video game inventories which would be like a blend of Productivity and Entertainment.

Right now there's just no innovation. Just a bunch of people and businesses cloning everyone else.

It's pretty much one of those three things. If someone can find a legit fourth, you can be a rich person/company. This is really along the lines of human preferences, psychology and society.

Most SaaS tools/business apps are nothing but Excel spreadsheets with supped up UI/UX (relation database)

My nikka. All saas products save companies from not having to create and maintain software. They minimize head count. They provide support. They track records and provide a way to visualize patterns. They are usually made by teams consisting of seasoned engineers with extensive experience. They make life easy for their clients otherwise the clients will go elsewhere.

Yall are addressing two different areas tbh.

Both of what you are saying is true, and this is what @Blessings was referring to

Facts -> He's providing the obvious benefits of a SaaS tool. But at the end of the day, it's all a relational database.

Thisis somewhat true though the best SaaS tools are the ones that do NOT require integration (it's cheaper and lighter that way but makes it a nice to have vs an indisposable s/w)

Also, you are right since most SaaS tools REQUIRE data migration. And that usually comes from ... Excel

Lots of people still buy Teslas also. Despite the fact Elon setoff this wave of tech layoffs.

A lot of people were bitter about all these tech workers getting paid. You see it all over twitter. Typical blue collar, republican asshats. Elon is a god to them. But yes, he really kicked off the layoffs as predicted when twitter got clipped and while it became a white supremacist cesspool..didn't collapse...

You see they all look alike

In the SaaS world, if you are NOT white or Asian (Indians are Asians too), good luck getting past the gate keeper. Usually a very young white woman in her early 20s
