How are you handling the fall out of job layoffs and AI takeover?
>>107022448I just cant stop laughing
>>107022448fake news
>>107022448Layoffs suck, but the "AI takeover" is still overblown. A more grounded way to look at it is that companies overhired during the last boom phase (like they always do) and therefore laid off staff (like they always do). It's just that AI assistance is a big meme right now so firms are spinning what they were always going to do, as mandated by market conditions, as something new and exciting to keep Money-American stakeholders engaged and in their happy place by saying they're replacing workers with AI. For now, I'm not sure the data actually support a big AI replacement over a more normal position within the broader market cycle.
that's some fine thicc sexy legs
>>107022491It’s been 5 years since covid, no this is not a “over hiring” issue. You need to accept that they fired people for profit as stated by corporate executives.
>>107022762those are her cankles, they go all the way up to her knees
>>107022778This is how the cycle manifests itself. Profits drop, shareholder primacy mandates firms take no action but that which provides value where possible. "Cycles" aren't some abstract rule which mandates certain actions according to Venus being in the fifth house, or whatever. They are observable trends composed of individual actors maximizing profit... and those actions are often downsizing their rosters. Overhiring is always relative. If you have Y employees and needed X amount for expansion, you hire the differential. When the market hits a downturn, you no longer need X so you fire the maximum amount to maintain profit considering how much you managed to expand in the interim. None of this is black magic. If AI manages to permanently allow firms to reduce workforces, we'll eventually see that in the data when firms hire less or continue downsizing despite a market upturn. We just don't have the data yet.

>>107022448I am keeping my head down and focusing on the fact that I have a paycheck coming in at least. My job does suck and I can't wait for this job market to turn around so I can bail.AI isn't a serious threat to jobs. Offshoring is by far the biggest threat, followed by a reversal of the defacto H1B1 ban.>>10702249I do agree there is was not unexpected that there would be a downturn after the covid hiring craze. The downturn is made worse by it's synergy with current political events.It's going to take a few years for the new grads to all get hired into the industry, and all the h1b1 poo to flush out of the market. Probably the best thing that would happen would be a reversal of tariffs, but good luck with that happening.
>>107022461Same. Competent devs were replaced with "diversity" in 2015, then "diversity" was replaced with infinity jeets, then AI was trained on jeetcode. It's a house of cards.
2 more weeks until we get mass unemployment and 20% GDP growth from AGI
>>107022900Downturns can be healthy, honestly, and I'd argue that one could be especially healthy for tech. The biggest reason why H1b workers became such a glut does have something to do with lower salaries but equally as much to do with how hard hiring is in other avenues. Tech specifically has a problem of extreme saturation combined with low aptitude. Degrees don't actually teach people how to code on a one to one level, which led to a surplus of credentialed incompetents HR has to sift through. What India provides here is not the best talent all around but an ecosystem of agencies with a higher FLOOR than HR can provide by simply interviewing applicants. A downtown in tech plus a tightening of the H1b pipeline will likely lower the amount of CS grads and enrollments, shifting the market back towards applicants who have both the interest and aptitude to code.In theory, anyway
This is the reason for the layoffs. Not AI
>>107023068According to /g/ee AI stands for an indian.
hilarious that people itt think those jobs are coming back
>>107023100>hilarious that people itt think those jobs are coming backAI will pop and all those jobs will come back, just trust it, 2 more weeks.
>>107022778The same group that "over" hired into 2022 immediately began cutting once Section 174 hit. Translation: they didn't over-hire.
>>107023114maybe some small percent have been automated but mostly theyve been offshored
How much of these jobs supposedly being replaced by AI are actzally just people being laid off due to overhiring during covid
>>107023011There's too many CS grads for the jobs out there. So much work has been automated, which results in less overall work. What to do with these CS grads? Because there's so many machines out there to manage, put them in devops, which is a sysadmin role. But so much automation has been done in devops. Again, what to do with the CS grads, who nowadays think coding is modifying config files and being on call. You'll have more layoffs.
>>107023165>but mostly theyve been offshoredWe will build a wall give us 2 more weeks.
>>107022778It's intentional anon, they hire a lot of people to show growth to investors, they they fire a lot of people to show that they're handling the situation and reducing waste. Ideally, the hiring process is a risk-taking trial of new talent and then those that do bot perform to expectation get fired while the good talent gets absorbed into the company. This does require competent HR and a proper evaluation process though, which I don't feel confident assuming
>>107022448I hope liberals are killed painfully by their brown pets
>>107023183All of it. AI can't revolutionize every industry and also be a bubble. There's also off-shoring.

my gf has rich parents lol
>>107023068>reposting meme flag propagandafuck off, changjeet
>>107022448Should have gone into a tech job that wasn't programming, like me. I'm earning in the 80th percentile for my age living in an area with cheap property and low car insurance rates.I'll have enough to buy a house outright in 12 months (I'm obviously not going to ruin my S&S ISA by doing that but still).stop with the lifestyle creep and bullshit degrees with no job market (programming is now included in that).
>>107023068Indians aren't responsible for the decline. They are a symptom of the disease. No the past 5 years or hell even past 20 years of ever bigger scams is the cause for the current crisis everything is fake nothing is based on real economic values anymore its just one hype after the other. Firing workers is a excellent method to drive up your margin and look good on paper just like over hiring was during lockdown. AI is just a result of the massive money that got dumped into the market and it will swallow the rest with it.
>>107023011>Degrees don't actually teach people how to code on a one to one level, which led to a surplus of credentialed incompetents HR has to sift through.Maybe, perhaps, we should rely on a different metric than a glorified 4 year academic memorization test?

>>107026034sounds utterly miserable
>>107026034sounds utterly BASED
>>107022491100% correct anon
>>107022448The layoffs happened because of AI hysteria, not because AI is actually good.Jeets dont want to admit this
>>107023068
>>107023068I ain't reading all dat lil bro
>>107022448The layoffs and hiring freezes happened because of a change to the tax code that took effect on December 31, 2021 and it was undone in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed on July 4, 2025. Companies can once again dodge taxes by college grads to do nothing. Reagan would be proud.
