I don’t blame the junior engineers either. I blame their seniors and managers. Leadership is especially awful these days and across most industries. Leaders tend to be too far removed from object level reality and just sit around blowing smoke up buttholes all day long. If you got laid off in the last year or two it’s because your leaders failed you with their shitty cargo cult approach to running a business. “Der, Google is hiring like crazy and dey lots of money and I want big big boat… so what if we hire like crazy and make radios out of coconuts?” It’s easy to throw shade but when I was last at the Facebook HQ I saw Mark Zuckerberg down on the floor talking to a young designer. He also took personal responsibility for the slimy layer of middle management that emerged over the decade prior, the result of which contributed heavily to the need for layoffs in the first place.
