I'm seeing folks like you get laid off with the current climate. Your trick is to not play the game, which may not be feasible right now.

- r2_pilot 2y ago> I'm seeing folks like you get laid off with the current climate. Who cares? At this stage in my life (and a distant second my career too), if that's the kind of attitude your work demands of you, there's plenty of other validating things to do that also provide a living. And I always hear that people don't quit their jobs, they quit their bosses. But yeah, I would never fire someone for setting appropriate life/work boundaries and sticking to them.
- musicale 2y agoThe current layoff cycle seems to be about lowering labor costs by dismissing expensive employees while limiting hiring to a smaller number of entry-level positions. There is also an assumption of an AI bonus that will allow companies to operate with more automation and fewer human employees.
- piva00 2y agoIt's entirely feasible if you live in places that don't follow American-esque systems of labour relationship.
- eweise 2y agoI do worry about that and that's why the most important thing is to work for the right manager. Keep on their good side, make them feel like you're an asset even if not sprinting every sprint, and I've found that they'll go to bat for you at review time.
- lurking_swe 2y agonot at my workplace, people usually work 8 hours on average and that’s it. Find a better employer, they exist. Yes even ones that pay $200k+. I realize not everyone is so fortunate. I had to start at some not so great companies in my career, but over time if you’re picky enough, you can find a great employer. I encourage everyone to know their worth. Don’t settle.
