Did the tech industry drop the ball here, why did so many tech workers lose their jobs? “we do have a shot" for inflation to return to target without high levels of job losses.” #recession #layoffs #RIF
Quarterly core weeks sounds great. Companies: be more like Target, less like “3 days a week” crap. https://www.axios.com/local/twin-cities/2023/12/14/target-office-corporate-workers-downtown
Should I tell my co-worker he’s going to be fired? I caught wind from upper management that they might be firing one of my co-worker. There is this manager that my co-worker and I have and he has been targeting my co-worker. I’m not saying my co-worker is perfect, but it is unfair that they’re ready...Read more

Not long ago employers wanted to hire many more workers than they could find, resulting in an unprecedented surge in unfilled vacancies. To get inflation under control, wage growth therefore had to come back down. Given weak productivity growth across the world, a 2% inflation target is probably ac...Read more
A tech worker spends roughly 100x what an immigrant from the southern border spends. Wouldn’t it make sense to target inflation through tech industry layoffs and keep the economy rolling through excess immigration? Government can control spend. 10 millions immigrants from the southern border since...Read more
Moved to Canada and joined Meta couple of months ago. After joining it was all shitshow. Stock crush, layoff, toxic performance review, hostile work culture. Main target was to get PR in Canada, but given how meta is falling, I am afraid I might get laid off / fired before getting PR in Canada. Al...Read more
The word on the streets says that Meta is laying off workers. Are these layoffs targeting contract workers, full-time workers, slackers or what? Which orgs or departments are directly affected the most? I just got an offer as a contractor. Should I seriously consider this offer as a viable option ...Read more

I have a Canada PR in hand. With a 2014 priority date and missing an opportunity to get the EAD, I am seriously considering moving to Toronto and moving as a remote worker. How is life in Toronto?

I work a normal 9-5 that pays fine, but I’m really proud of my 6-figure side hustle: I trip down uneven stairs on major corporate properties. Every few months I go hang around the massive campuses of the tech giants we love and search for their most decrepit, in need of repair stairs. Once I find m...Read more
Targeted towards software people And do you have any fully remote workers (out of area?) i have to become ready to be a company slave and lose 1-2 hrs per day in my car, prepping my expectations i already go in once a week, so twice isnt bad, but four times and i will be sad
