  1. The next couple of years are going to be real tough to find a tech job. Have a backup plan as your tech career might be over.

  2. Since the Americans are long gone out of tech, then the more tech layoffs the better. The H1bs can go back home.

  3. From reboot to construction boots. Laid off software engineers hanging around Home Depot looking for construction work.

  4. Work as an independent consultant. My city just hired an idiotic architectural firm to do a master plan. They could so use these talents. City Council rejected it. Talent finds a way. Never give up.

  5. "It's satire. But it isn't." – John Pilger

  6. All of these average wfh engineering/finance jobs are being offshored asap if they havent been already. Exception of window dressing type roles like client facing or HR/ESG. The average american is powerless scraping by with subsistence level wages. Top it off with psychopathic immigration policies and unrestricted supply of fentanyl.. Whos even in charge?

  7. NBC News, why was Miguel Almaguer suspended ?

  8. Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 15days.

  9. Where is Miguel Almaguer?

  10. Should have enlisted into the military

  11. Isn’t this what the Feds wanted? Reduce jobs to help slow down inflation? I mean the guy even explained there was companies trying to hire people at higher wages. I do feel bad for the people who lost their jobs though. I hope they find something soon.

  12. They are young plenty of time to recoup.

  13. Nothing like silver spoon privileged people complaining lol

  14. Probably the same way blue collar people do when their jobs are sent overseas. Learn to code, wait that won't work since they probably already know how to code?

  15. Hopefully this will lead to more innovation and smaller companies being formed

  16. Why is this even an issue . Are you aware of how many pipeline workers lost their jobs ?? How many valid hard working americans cant feed their families. These hacks dont deserve to complain . They can as Biden says find other work . Go volunteer at a soup kitchen you over privileged mindless hacks . Learn about what real life is !

  17. Just like 2008 and 2009.

  18. Trump is not going to jail. There is idiocy on both sides. Now his declaring and getting republican collusion, as well as outright support, tells us he is setting us up for a dictatorship, by declaring the U.S. Constitution is null and void. The worst thing in all this dreadfully preparatory madness is these bunny dummies that can't, for the soul of their low educational embodiment, see or understand what he is going to do with their votes. The light of dawn is coming to them when they no longer have Medicare or Social Security. It is OK with me as ample justice for their willingly blind support, But sadly it includes me- and you.
