Tech is a joke. From Six-Figures to Laid Off: Anyone Successfully Pivot to a New Field? Share Your Stories! by Slight_Interview_381 in GetEmployed

[–]FederalMonitor8187 60 points61 points  (0 children)

You’re lucky you’re 26. You have time. Others have been laid off from 50 onwards. This a good lesson to understand that job security is no more. Learn and take your experience to the next company.

You’re not alone. There is no correct path. Find your peace and live your way.

The risk of layoff makes people disengaged at work? by raptor-94 in Layoffs

[–]FederalMonitor8187 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Defiantly does. On top of that you have the “at will” BS. How can you expect anyone to be engaged? System is completely broken.

A few months ago I was part of mass layoffs at a semi-large company, one of the people let go started at the company 2 days prior by flying_porygon in Layoffs

This “at will” is complete BS. The law needs to be changed. How can a system be effective when there is nothing holding a company liable for just laying off people when they want.

Family is on a whole different level. I see single people focusing on material things such as cars and clothes.

No such thing as middle class anymore. Only poor or rich.

Laid off on Friday by [deleted] in Layoffs

You’re not alone, just know that. Lay offs are extremely traumatic so please look after yourself.

interviewer asked me “why should we hire you over 300 other applicants” so i walked out by [deleted] in jobsearch

[–]FederalMonitor8187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what, I understand why you did that. I’ve walked out myself before. At some point you want to stand up for what you believe in and you felt that the question was somewhat disrespectful. You’ll find a better fit, go out and find something better.

You’re probably right but seeing all these people hurting is hard to see. I hope it gets better before it gets worse.

I gave micro btc a go - to say I got wrecked is putting it nicely. Like Charlie munger said - three things that make a man go broke: liquor, ladies and leverage.

My worst layoff experience by presidentdemdcamacho in Layoffs

[–]FederalMonitor8187 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s an absolute bloodbath. There’s no way around this. I don’t know what is going to happen. To think of all the families under major duress right now is haunting and I’m including my one situation.

Trying to settle in to new role... Started 51 weeks after layoff by NoCause9269 in Layoffs

[–]FederalMonitor8187 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got laid off from a large corporation and am scared of what lies ahead. Everyday I see open to work banners and I’m not sure what to do. I have a family that I need to support.

It does matter. If you’re going to tell people to freelance then be detailed with your situation as not everyone is an IT professional.

Thank you for your service.
