But are layoffs bad ? Did we expect them to be very slow following the trend up and very slow down so that they smooth the workforce, or did we want them to fullfill the demande NOW when we needed pcs during covid and... expect them not to fire now that we dont care anymore ?
- scrapcode 4y ago> But are layoffs bad ? It depends on what side of the layoff you are on and how these positions were signaled. It is what it is - I just think that these things should be considered by all employees in the future when jumps in market demand happen - especially all of these companies participating in mass layoffs. What I don't particularly like is how companies will signal that the massive rise in business is because they're such a great company and are doing so well. Then they'll turn around and shit-can thousands overnight with justification that it was an unforeseen market shift that they could've never prepared for. I loved working in the trades, but couldn't weather that frequent storm that had evolved to become the norm. I'd hate to see that become the norm in tech. Not to mention what high supply / low demand does for wages.
