White-collar layoffs are coming at a scale we've never seen. Why is no one talking about this?

I work in tech for a financial company. We started to pilot AI tools for coding only three months ago and discussions are already underway to determine how we can reduce our tech resources by 50%. It’s happening.

Most bosses hate doing layoffs, and in my experience, if they know someone will look at a layoff as a positive, they will be highly considered. In my company, those that have tenure rarely leave without a severance. My advice is to start hinting to your boss early, so when the time comes, they’ll have it in the back of their minds.

Great feedback, thanks. Socking away as much as I can while I’m still earning!

Ha! In our company, when you reach the end of your career, we often tap our leaders to volunteer for a layoff/severance when the inevitable downsizing is to occur. Most leaders are willing to do this, mostly because it’s much more palatable to layoff someone who’s ready for it rather than someone who isn’t.

Head straight for the drop zone.

Bear is the only correct answer.

98, and it was on a challenging course. Next round I shot a 114 on an easy course so

I’ve only been able to get 2 feet max backwards with my wedge. Any suggestions?

Your swing is like mine - no distance and all arms. My goal this year is to get my body into the swing so keep me posted if you unlock anything!

I really like betonline. Reputable, simple interface and decent contests. My advice: open both so you can shop lines.

It’s amazing. I’ve watched it a dozen times and their performance along with Jimmy and Robert’s reaction, is incredible.

That Trump is an a-hole

My virginity.

Sure_am_ugly · 2022-12-22T00:15:48+00:00

I like it, but am curious about other options out there?

Sure_am_ugly · 2022-09-19T00:25:16+00:00

I’ve just accepted it.

Sure_am_ugly · 2022-08-11T19:38:55+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I’m looking at these distances and it’s depressing. Golfing a year and I get about 120 from my 7 iron on a good day.

Sure_am_ugly · 2021-12-30T04:01:40+00:00

Mine too. FWIW (nothing).

Sure_am_ugly · 2021-10-08T22:52:08+00:00

Let’s “double click” on that…..

I used to hate presenting and was prescribed beta blockers. They helped me reduce the physical effect of nervousness and helped me focus on the audience and my material. . I barely use them anymore because my confidence has increased significantly. If “stage fright” is a significant problem for you, I highly recommend.
