The Current Job Market Is Punishment For Covid

[tay1]

The job market now and going forward for the next couple years is going to be absolutely terrible.

An already bad market as is is being flooded with thousands of laid off workers with the already unemployed struggling to find work

Once Covid hit, there was a shift in people wanting to work from home and there was this sentiment of quiet quitting and all of that. Employees felt as if they had some power. What’s going on now the rebalance of power.

With what’s happening with the layoffs, AI, and so forth, it’s gonna be difficult to get a good job. The first clip is sick.

The great resignation is definitely what a lot of this shyt is about...there was a creeping rise in worker rights sentiment that the corporations had to squelch.

Some people say a correction was supposed to happen years ago, the crisis back when bush left office was never corrected they just kicked the can down the road, and Covid made it where there wasn’t no more road

This is more than a correction. This is an intentional sabotage. A message is being sent. The laid off federal workers make everything worse.

Go up by 50% is not the same as making the unemployment rate >=50%.

At the time that vid was made, a 50% increase would’ve been 7.2% unemployment as his target. Thats bad, but it’s definitely not 50% unemployment where 1/2 Americans are unemployed bad.

It definitely is for tech. Companies over hired. If you ran a bootcamp(some of which were no better than many free tutorials) you made bank. They were hiring like crazy during covid. It's thinning out.

It's getting harder for the entry level brehs. I graduated in the fall of 2020 with a Computer Science degree and it took me like 8 months to get a basic help desk job that underpaid.

The job market is what it is because the government opened up the flood gates for legal and illegal immigration after wages started to rise (after COVID deaths and retirements).; These a$$holes cried to the government for help when they couldn't pay shyt wages any more. And that was just for paying guys at McDonalds $12/hr instead of $7.25

Back when I was studying to get into tech. I could have gone the bootcamp route but decided to get my Masters in Stats instead. Having lived through a layoff at the ripe age of 24 I knew I wanted to do everything in my power to not be expendable. Paid off. Still got a job making ridiculous amount of money and on a short list of those in the industry who can “skip” the line for open roles given experience and education. This new wave of laid off folks will have a similar experience, going through it changes your mental and prepares you more for the hardships of the real world. Glad I learned early

We are in the begining of Curtis Yarvins and other Tech Bros "Dark Enlightenment" plan.


They all have Trumps ear and are the reason for the tanking of the economy and shrinking of government.

The Tech Bros will be your overlords soon


It's comical because nobody is seeing it coming even though it's not a conspiracy at all, and is LITERALLY HAPPENING as we type......


Curtis Yarvin - Wikipedia

Several prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians have expressed their influence from the philosophy, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel describing Yarvin as his "most important connection".[10] Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work, and there have been allegations that he has communicated with Yarvin which Yarvin has denied.[11][12][13] U.S. Vice President JD Vance has cited Yarvin as an influence.[14][15][16] Michael Anton, the State Department Director of Policy Planning during Trump's second presidency, has also discussed Yarvin's ideas.[17] In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was "an informal guest of honor" due to his "outsize influence over the Trumpian right."

Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos all have a plan for you.....You just aint gonna know it until its to late...


IF I WASNT SO TIRED ID FIND THE PIC OF ALL THEM AT TRUMPS INAUGURATION SMILING LIKE KIDS ON CHRISTMAS

Yes and no.

I beleive a lot of this stems from When the fed raised interest rates in order to slow inflation. That also made it riskier to borrow for the avg citizen AND also for companies/corporations thus affecting profit margins, which i
Does not look good for potential investors and shareholders.

And with the post-covid era movement of people demanding a fair wage( among other things) , this also caused companies to seek alternative and less costly means for productivity such as migrants, A.I. and off-shore workers in places like India, Phillipines, Kenya, Greece etc etc.
This is all to maintain profit margins for shareholders and investors.

Now the tinfoil hat side of me thinks that there might be a more sinister motive behind this to make us all broke since consumer spending hasn't dropped much despite the rise interest rates. Maybe maybe not?
