Let’s all wait for this psc to get over. They are forcing the curve and Something is cooking.
I’m sorry that people are losing jobs but everyone knows that TPM work requires pretty much no hard skills and can easily be done by engineers / EMs / PMs. It’s a role enabled entirely by luxury, and given the economy we could see a bloodbath for TPMs everywhere
...until people realize that the work won't get done. Yes, it's not rocket science but its still the type of work people don't like doing and / or aren't good at. So yeah they'll cut it (and yeah, theres probably some dead fat in the TPM bench), but meta fired a bunch of tpms last year and hired a lot back and still has open tpm hc (huh, i wonder why).
If people don’t want to do work, a TPM isn’t going to change their minds. It’s a powerless role tbh. EMs have the power to get stuff done
