> should not give up whatever we got so far. Absolutely! I declined multiple offers this summer because they would have been pay cuts. We agree. > Few professions earned this quality of life Well that is a can of worms. I'm going to guess Doctors deserve much better. I think the unfortunate reality is that, maybe, tech workers haven't earned this quality of life. Instead, we are the lucky recipients of decades of growth. This is something that isn't even shared in Canada or Europe, much less Asia, in terms of salary. > This is the stuff the car industry did when they just offshored jobs, Agree, this is going to be bad. Now that we have shown productivity with work from home, how tied are companies to these high USA salaries? I'm not ok with it. But I also remember that when I'm running around looking for a job, the people with that job are making the demands. This is something that tech workers haven't actually experienced for a decade, but every other industry has. > okay with these levels of lay offs and still revere these companies Revere these companies? Founders are taking risks to make a LOT of money. They aren't here to make employees money. I don't revere these companies, and I don't put any stock in their Family Friendly or work life balance encouraged, marketing nonsense.
