Can't wait for all these shitty companies to collapse.
>pretending that mass layoffs are abnormal in techthis. is. the. norm.tech has been doing this since forever. when they have a boom they always over hire. when there's a contraction they snap straight to layoffs. people who work in this sector know what's up. unemployed loser on /g/ haven't got a clue.
It's the shittiest company, I once wanted to post a job there. Used my CC to deposit money, then posted the job - nothing, special, just needed some keyboard config for Linux figured out for like 200 bucks or so. They blocked my account and literally stole the money. Fuck this scam.
>>108783686>I fully own ithow? is he going to resign or khs?
>>108783686According to the government, we're at full employment (4.3% unemployment rate; anything under 5% is considered full) and there continues to be a labor shortage. Anyone losing their job will have an easy time finding a new one as employers are fighting over anyone in the labor market.
>>108783838It's only normal in the big tech companies. The key is to work at a small-to-mid size, relatively unknown tech company.
>>108783686Dunno about the others, but Cloudflare's workforce grew by a factor of 4.06x between 2019 and 2025.
>>108784776this/threadpeople only try to get into FAANG and wonder why they are unemployed for months instead of applying to smaller companies or startups.their own fault.
>>108783686why does a website have employees
>>108784748he'll own it by buying another yacht to soothe himself
>>10878368625% is really steep. That's a lot of dead weight.>>108784745And now you can just vibecode something instead..
>>108784773Go look at the labor participation rate sometime. News flash, that unemployment number is all sorts of manipulated in the USA. Labor participation is at an all time low.
>>108785600That's became men have become lazy prima donnas. Women now make up the majority of the workforce as able bodied men are increasingly dropping out of everything to be NEET losers.
>>108785589>dead weighteither it's management's fault for overhiring and/or hiring the wrong peopleor the hiring was good but the business itself is weakerbut they'll claim both the hiring was good and the business is strong
>>108783838>boom and bustIt's devilish number pushing>number go up give executives raise>numbers go down executives get more raises because while numbers are down they are still higher than some perfectly chosen point in time>numbers go up more raisesSimple really.
>>108784773where are the shortages, though?if I lose my comfy "w"fh job where I just shitpost on 4chan all day for 100k I don't really want to go do actual work wherever there's an actual shortage. like, construction, or something? fuck that shit. I'll neet til I starve
>>108785600labor participation rate is going down because we're approaching a post-job environment.
>>108785810>>108785600labor participation is down because boomers are retiring. lfp for young people (20-50) is still high
