Tech companies have announced 141,159 job cuts this year compared with 120,470 during the same period in 2024, Challenger’s report said.

I pray the recruiting wasn't Indian. I've never gotten a job using an Indian recruiter. All their good for is wasting your time.

If them faggits ask you to read a script or do any one way interviews tell them to stick it

Thankfully, they're not Indian. But they ended up canceling because of a family emergency. The whole thing is really strange.

Edit: And then around 3 PM, a user in the San Fran messaged that they dropped their laptop in the street. I ended up having to go into the office and shipping out a laptop for them. My new laptop which I just switched to like last week. And the company FedEx account is messed up or something so I paid $380 to package and ship the laptop overnight. I'm gonna go ahead and submit the receipt for reimbursement before I lose it.

The laptop didn't get delivered yesterday. I just looked at the receipt and it says Monday. What the hell is first overnight shipping then? I told the guy Saturday delivery.

I replied to recruiter saying we could have a call on Monday and got no response.
