The "tragedy of layoffs" is not that the top talent won't find other work. It's more about the people who will be unjustly affected. Those that are let go through no fault of their own, those whose morale and work satisfaction is destroyed, those who were hopeful for and dedicated to projects now being canned, those who will have visa uncertainty, those who have to go through the stress of a job change, and others put in similar circumstances. Top talent is not excluded from this. But they will find work.
- ChuckNorris89 4y ago> It's more about the people who will be unjustly affected People are unjustly affected at work on a daily basis everywhere, especially outside of big tech. Unjustly affected big tech workers will easily find better options elsewhere. I don't get the tear shedding and pandemonium.
- infamia 4y agoJust because something bad happens frequently, it doesn't somehow less bad. If anything, the frequency makes it worse. Also, the Big Tech companies have to hire non-coding positions that will have a lot harder time finding a job than the tech workers. I would expect these non-tech workers got caught up in all of this as well.
