  • "companies are making more money than ever and still cutting people. the old logic where your job was safe if the company was doing well is completely deadcloudflare cut 20% of workforce in their strongest quarter ever. microsoft laid off 4800 while investing billions in AI. oracle cut 21,000 while posting profits. what skill are you actually building right now that you think makes you safe from this"

  • "I was laid off at Microsoft today and as I'm walking out I saw some others leaving too. Bout a week ago 2.5% was gone and now suddenly I see more people leaving. I can't even guess how many were laid off and I can't imagine how much they're gonna rehire. It's ridiculous that they did layoffs twice in a month. They could've just done it together at the same time, at least it would've been less miserable for us."
