and then after giving them the instructions to the AI tools, they will just lay off the remaining people. and then they hire less people, rinse and repeat. in the mean time they will probably try to outsource people as well.
with the current layoffs, im hearing alot of people just moving in back with family, and hasnt moved out since then on certain forums, and people still have jobs in some industries think thier friends/families are just not trying hard enough or worst resenting them because they are being lazy and not independent.
The writing was on the wall when that many layoffs happened. If they’re that willing to take that kind of risk, they’ve been on insecure financial footing for a while. Best move on ASAP.
Last time I job-hopped was when my CEO took a tour of the R&D department, chewing each of us out individually, complaining how we’re too expensive and he can’t afford us… a job offer came through the next day and I was out in 2 weeks. They asked why I was leaving, all too simple: you remember Mr. “I had a bad day in sales, so I took my insecurities out on the R&D guys” tirade? Yeah, that was a big factor.
This started over a year and a half ago at my company.
Over half my department was fired, and now they are forcing us to give assessments on AI tools to replace the jobs of the rest of us.
We’re so fucked, guys. This isn’t just where I work, it’s most places from what I’m hearing.
