Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[MikelArteta]

Companies are also leaving tons of jobs unfilled after a layoff. And then dividing up those job responsibilities among the workers left. We keep getting more and more job duties dumped on us.

I still can't figure out what most of these overseas IT workers do all day. They keep handing difficult tasks back over to us in the states. That kind of entitlement has to be coming from up high in the Organization.

At my work (one of the biggest hospital networks in Canada) before a vacant Full time position is even posted the VP of finance has to sign off on it even if its a cleaner making 25 a hour. And yup just as mentioned if a manager or director leaves they will just divvy up that work amongst managers or directors who are apart of that portfolio and give them like a 10k bump in salary.

I remember during the covid era it was so bad we were offering sign on bonuses. I remember I could get anyone a job ASAP, turnover rate was so high. Crazy how fast things change.


I really wish governments would stop selling us out with all these work visas and stop selling us out by allowing companies to push things offshore. How are you getting tax breaks and making all your income from people in country a but allowing part of your workforce to be in country b

and these same companies will try and tell you to be in the office 4/5 days a week while they have sandeep and manny working overseas

that happened to me at the old place I worked out. The worst thing is that we had to train them

I would much rather train Filipinos than Indians. Doesn't matter how many times or how long you train someone in India. They will screw it up eventually it's pretty much guaranteed.

Training your replacement is never fun. We literally trained them then like two months later we were offered packages or transfer to another role.


While there are some smart indians alot just pay people to do their work or bribe their teachers so its hard to trust their academic ahchievements.

The cheating is why alot of offshoring is moving to Latin America paired with the timezone friendliness and cultural alignments

I didn't even realize the amount of outsourcing and visa scammers in healthcare. I thought it was mainly just IT.

@JT-Money @null what’s the quickest turnaround time you’ve had for getting a job.

My experience is in europe.

Times vary. In good times it would only take a few weeks to a maximum of 3 - 5 months. When I originally graduated I got an offer within weeks of the application and before I graduated.

Looking at the american market things don't look too good. But then I have no experience and no reference points for navigating the american job market. My brother is a US citizen and a dev. It normally takes him a few months, mainly using dice, for NYC.

Like from application sent to being hired…

Also does anyone have experience being hired without an interview, but rather just based off an evaluation of questions regarding a few scenarios?

A Recruiter was legit disgusted when I gave her my salary requirements recently.

That long pause..... like this nikkas crazy.

A laid-off Accenture manager has been job hunting for 21 months. Recruiters keep telling him he's too expensive.​

Alexander Valen said that the first thing recruiters often tell him is that he's out their clients' budgets.

Alexander Valen has struggled to find a job after being laid off from Accenture in 2023.

He said it's been challenging to find roles that wouldn't require a significant pay cut.

Some US businesses have slowed hiring and taken steps to reduce the number of managers.

Why not take the lower pay and quit once he gets a better one? Companies will fire you when a good deal comes along. Treat them the same way.

I think his problem is ageism which is illegal. But companies can't come out and say it. So instead they gaslight him that his salary demands would be too high.

Its not about quality anymore but who can do the job the cheapest. Only certain heavily regulated industries are immune to this race to the bottom. But the Government can always decide to cut Regulations with enough lobbying.

I thought they claimed nobody important was getting poached.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

I’m going to need a technical co-founder within the next 6 months (or whenever I finish building this anpp) Anyone in here know Golang/Svelte or is in the cybersecurity space? fukk a job.


My idea is potentially worth millions

The recruiter should've posted the salary/compensation....just wasting everyone's time

 

[TRUEST]

Yep that’s how I feel.

This company is a startup. Idk if this is the best environment for that, but it would be a massive pay increase and it would still be fully remote for me.

I do get hit up from recruiters with urgent requests.

I can see if someone leaves a company immediately and they hold a lot of weight and they need someone experienced to step in immediately that’s like only scenario.


Tbf the evaluation sheet, asked legit questions, that you’d expect an experienced data engineer to know.
