Hey All,
Hope your Friday is going great.
Firstly, I just want to say thanks to all for my last post on this sub. Corp under new management who decided to move to MSP, which actually violated their compliance agreement, so I’m still around.
Funnily enough, they emailed me on my blocked work email to tell me my role is still active. 😵💫 The new management also awarded themselves a 7 figure bonus for their efficiency, and are about to be replaced themselves, but I digress.
Anyway, just wanted to post this resource that tracks tech layoffs. I know many are updating their resumes, studying for certs etc so good luck.
Finally, just a reminder that tech is a cycle. Non tech execs make decisions based on a spreadsheet number, get their bonuses and leave, new execs come in and then undo their decisions. We’re in the layoff cycle now so keep your hats on your head. If you’re wary about out sourcing, I suggest moving to defence and govt sectors.
Use your free time to learn but don’t forget all the other things like your health, family and hobbies. I found skiing is a fantastic way to turn my mind off.
Thanks again and have a good year!
