I’m sick of being laidoff. Got laid off again today, second time in 4 years in a big corporate layoff. Seems I can’t ever find any respite these days. No matter how hard I work or how much I put in, just bound to be laid off and even though I’ve been recognized officially through merit repeatedly, these companies here in the USA just keep laying people off And then passing all the jobs on to India for 3K a year salary…

So disheartening. At this rate I might as well just retire from White collar work and go and learn a trade as a tradesman, completely redo my entire life goals

    Anyone with a brain and a shred of critical thought will look at mass layoffs and see them as the desperate move of an idiot in charge who couldn’t think of anything else to save money.

    Idiots in charge will look at them as a brilliant way to buy another yacht.

    Edit: sorry you’re going through this. I’m feeling some empathy anger with you here
