Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

Ireland is a Tax haven. They kick tech out and those people will be potato farmers again lol
I've always suspected tech companies like Amazon had a policy where overseas workers could apply and work anywhere on the globe. Because I was seeing so many Indian workers no matter which country.
But I seriously doubt they would let American workers do the same exact thing. I've seen a few American workers go overseas but it was always temporary in nature. Companies would never allow such a move for US based employees.
You aren't even allowed to move but so far away from a physical office location. The more difficult they make things for US workers the more of them will quit.
"Proximity Enforcement: Companies are increasingly limiting remote work to those who live far from hubs, forcing others closer, with some requiring employees to work from local offices 5 days a week".

this is what it's all about, my workload is the same because while some shyt is faster to get done, management is expceting more shyt done with shorter deadlines, so i'm still working just as much. i hate this timeline
the layoffs are buck breaking where folks are happy just to have a job even though now they are doing the work of 4 people
I have reshifted my focus. I was all in on getting back into my career but that's seemingly being extremely difficult. I haven't gotten an interview in my field in over awhile. I have elite experience too. I am starting my own consulting firm and I am taking courses on Agentic AI. Basically gonna help companies with their AI setup as I've done it with some Fortune 500 companies already.
These companies would rather risk hiring a damn foreign spy over an American worker.

He was a perfect hire — until a U.S. company exposed him as a likely North Korean operative

For the past decade, North Korea has engaged in a wide-ranging effort to place remote workers at U.S. companies in order to funnel money back to its coffers and, in some cases, steal sensitive information. Those workers’ salaries are used in part to evade sanctions and fund the communist regime’s illicit programs, including its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile efforts, according to U.S. government agencies. Last year, the FBI announced the schemes were becoming “increasingly malicious” and the Department of Justice declared the issue a “code red.”
