Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[threattonature]

I got lucky as hell as a job I turned down over a year and a half ago is now doing mass layoffs. I would have more than likely been one of them had I stayed.

Thankfully, I took another job and am thriving there so it all worked out for the best

Same here. I was so anxious to get out of my old job that I was going to take a position with Wells Fargo for a slight pay cut. Only reason I didn't take it was because they weren't budging on returning to office after Covid was over. So I rejected it at which point they tried to convince me that they'd work with me on changing it to being hybrid. They ended up having a lot of layoffs at the location I would've been working at last year and this year.

Yep. I got in right after the Great Recession ended. And if you kept advancing you would be sitting pretty right now. They can crash the tech job market if they want. I've made plenty of money and no longer need it.

fukk that I need my bread but I`m blessed I was able to get over a decade experience and big names on my resume. I don't wish a crash on anyone but this shyt as I have said in this thread is just the generational point where many will see working for someone else forever is for the birds. Get to where you won't be dependent on an employer doing right by you especially if you want a family because who wants to go through this stress in their 50s with people depending on them
