It made sense to me. I was and their reply was talking about engineering jobs.
I said that all these layoffs are not firing many, if any, software engineers. They replied that, while that’s true, tech companies are not firing software engineers, they are on a hiring freeze and canceled offers that were out. So not firing, but not hiring any either.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoA hiring freeze for any one company generally means slowly bleeding in that area: people are still leaving, you're just not getting anyone new to replace them. But if basically every company is doing a hiring freeze, and employees are unable or unwilling to quit because of bad economic conditions, maybe less so.
