Right now I feel for the folks that physically have to be on the front-line of all of this to the point I'll say we did throw a lot of them overboard.
I'm afraid someone will go off on me for saying this, in regards to unemployment - I do not believe many of these jobs are ever coming back... and I think we've got a recession on our hands that's about to make 2008 look like a stroll through the tulips. We're just in the quiet before the storm =(
I don't think enough people here get how lucky most HNers are to be on the right side of the class divide, especially now.
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoGiven that this recession was largely artificial - in the sense it's not the market pausing itself, I have no idea if this will prove to be a bad one or not - I don't think we've ever seen anything like this before. But I do share the same fear you have, that the jobs aren't coming back. I think for a lot of companies the skeleton crew will become the normal crew, and as always more will be done with less to the detriment of everyone who isn't still employed.
