Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[Belize King]

It’s strange because you see all the articles on how bad it is overall in tech, but I’m seeing more brehs and brehettes than ever before on social media and YouTube in tech and trying to give tips.

It’s a lag plus people push content they know. Fools will eat it up without doing research on the market.

I’m not saying tech is done but I thought I would pivot to tech, really govt tech, and now I’m reconsidering. I’ll probably finish my degree in logistics and stick to what I have been doing for 20 years.

My ideal job is remote making 65-90k. I don’t need much. Just 100% remote.

I might become a teacher and tech for 20 years as well. These next five years will decide my next 20.

If I’m in the states, I want a job with a pension. If I’m overseas, remote or teach.

In addition to seeing these companies stack record earnings and stock prices (although down from all-time highs due to politics).

breh lotta these folks never came from struggle. Most of these DEI programs were not actually finding people who went through shyt in life, it was always folks from privilege backgrounds they just were not white men lol. A nikka from the trenches who finally makes it keeps his head low and over performs and doesn't brag, he just enjoys the money he makes and moves in silence. Most of these bragging DEI folks had bullshyt roles within these made up DEI orgs or were just folks in HR/Non Tech roles who happened to work within a Tech Company. You'd have overpaid folks in like a Recruiter or Community Manager role but technically the role was in Facebook/Meta so they would run the hustle of how easy it is to work in Big Tech.

I hate to see people lose their jobs BUT Covid blew up and companies over hired like fukk and a lot of losers got into these companies in bullshyt roles. Lotta these companies numbers blew up by like 30-40% when it came to head count. The issue is now when they trim the fat they can get rid of folks where wasn't on that bullshyt thus they catch strays, but folks can point to all the tiktoks of people making videos on how they don't do shyt to justify the firings/layoffs.

That second paragraph is bars bruh. I been saying tech has A LOT of bloat from the top down and eventually the bubble would burst and deflate back to the mean, which is what most of this is. TikToks and Facebook reels about how easy the job was didn't help. Put the shoe on the other foot, if you were Mark Zuckerburg and you saw people posting ON YOUR PLATFORM how easy it is and how little work they do working for YOUR PLATFORM all the while you're paying them a $100k+ a year salary what would you do? If you say anything besides get rid of these mufukkas you lying to yourself.

Hey we need electricians badly right now, there is a true shortage of us right now(not even joking companies are DESPERATE) and want a career shift the opportunity is there.

Yeah I’m sitting here at a FANG company and thinking if I get back into the financial IT world again. I don’t think these big corporations have a long term positive outcome in today’s AI world.

Luckily I am in the IR side of things so my humanity is still required….for now.

Starting more cloud stuff and Japanese so when the time comes I’ll go work on a farm and say thank you to the tech world and bow out. It’s not a good look for the up and comers right now.

Not that I think AI is the pure answer, but it is the companies thinking they have to go all in. Google RIFs are coming soon, I am sure.

What you mean work on a farm?

This is why Elon Musk laid off half of twitter shyt still was functional and the rest of these ceos saw it as a greenlight
