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

Every time I see these tech numbers I find myself very thankful for what I have.

This is nuts man.

Should You Still Learn to Code in an A.I. World?

Coding boot camps once looked like the golden ticket to an economically secure future. But as that promise fades, what should you do? Keep learning, until further notice.

Compared with five years ago, the number of active job postings for software developers has dropped 56 percent, according to data compiled by CompTIA. For inexperienced developers, the plunge is an even worse 67 percent.

“I would say this is the worst environment for entry-level jobs in tech, period, that I’ve seen in 25 years,” said Venky Ganesan, a partner at the venture capital firm Menlo Ventures.

Every vendor we work with has Indians as the bulk of their support. MSPs keep outsourcing out to them.
I've said it on here plenty of times, they are not better than anybody. Cheap as fukk and just terrible tech sense.

MFers fukked up a server upgrade, outsourced by the MSP I working at.
First question I asked em was did you make a backup before you did anything.

The silence was deafening

I'm beginning to feel better about failing to be a full stack Dev. As long as I have users, IT is quite safe from AI.

I use it at work all the time too, doing spreadsheets when someone sends me some janky shyt.

Companies only look at the cheaper labor costs. And not the lost productivity having to constantly clean up behind them. When they weren't crashing entire environments and lying about the root cause. They're in need of constant handholding for even minor tasks. You we're always expected to drop everything and help them to not make upper management look bad.

They're in need of constant handholding for even minor tasks. You we're always expected to drop everything and help them to not make upper management look bad.

Their thinking is “because the labor is so cheap, eventually they’ll figure it out!”

At some point they will, but the entire company is going to burn to ashes by the time that happens
