During the pandemic, a different Amazon recruiter reached out to me at least once a month. I couldn’t understand how they could possibly need so many new engineers, and I guess the answer was that they didn’t.
Management of big tech companies like to pretend they’re geniuses, but really they just wanted to ride the hype train to the moon.
They made it hard for smaller companies to hire tech talent and have now had to put tens of thousands of employees through layoffs.
I at least hope that some good comes from this in the form of reducing middle management and bureaucracy in the tech giants.
Also, hopefully tech workers will be more willing to fill roles across the country at jobs where they might be able to make more of a positive impact. Getting people to waste time on social media is not exactly a benefit to our planet.
