This is hard and I feel you. May you come out stronger and become a job provider too.

So who is going to save is frpm AI?

Ageism is a super big problem in tech, I've had to watch my dad struggle with that himself and I really feel for him. I wish he could hide his age in some way but with the way his resume has his experiences listed, it's not hard to count backward and guess that he's middle aged. It's sad too because he's so well read and knowledgeable, one of the smartest software engineers I know and he's literally taught my tech friends in college when they were stuck in comp sci. His age and knowledge is a strength but corporations only see all us workers as disposable parts. :((

@@r-uu2qiyeah, but ppl thought tech was all sunshine and flowers after being in the pandemic. It’s always been known tech is very fast my changing, if you’re skills are even 3 years old, it’s old and you’re on the chopping block

@@r-uu2qi Not Wall Street. At least Wall Street is honest about making MONEY. Silicon Valley PRETENDS that everything is for the good of mankind.

The layoff problem is more severe in the US than in many other countries - see 11:28. I still vividly remember my (first) job at Suzuki Motor Corp's Indian subsidiary in 2008. During the economic downturn when most companies were conducting layoffs, the company did not dismiss a single employee. Instead, they encouraged everyone to propose cost-saving ideas and prioritize capability building. Additionally, they even brought in some senior professionals who had been let go by companies like GM and Chrysler! The severity of layoffs in the US can be attributed to its more capitalist nature compared to many other countries.

If you've been in tech a long time then you'd known for a long time that IT (noone calls it tech back then) people job hops ALOT. it's not uncommon to see people having a new position every year or so. It's only a problem when it's you at the end of the stick. Even then you have severance package to soften the blow. I just don't see why they complain.

What do you do now?

Have you laid off anyone yet?

That's most jobs TBH

The slave becomes the master, and the cycle continues...

Only 4 times in 20 years? You're lucky.

Let me guess it’s usually when they look like they skip jobs a lot or are currently unemployed?tech employees are different

Seems like they are just wasting your time, and being very inefficient.

On occasion you can beat the market with blind luck, but I wouldn't depend on it. Having a science background there is a saying, 'Luck favors the informed', I've found it to be true, allowed me in great part to retire early...

I’ve seen both sides of the coin , I was investing on my own for about 3years, did my own study and analysis before actually buying, things became rather difficult after the pandemic which was right about when I reached out to an advisor for guidance, It’s been over 2 years and I’ve scaled up a stagnant reserve of $280K to $700k in just about 24months.

@@Agent77X they’re starting to experience what everyone else has always experienced

"continue" .. ?.. some companies never did and need to "step up" and START supporting their employees.

Not an easy thing for a company to do.

Yup - although, I'd phrase it "decency" - "didn't have the decency". I would say, in fairness, this isn't so much about tech, but about scale, AFAIK. Having gigantic corporations with GDPs that surpass those of many countries is problematic. Not merely when it comes to "traditional dangers" in capitalism like oligopolies and monopolies, but even more simply in direct "people" terms. Humans start hitting our significant human limitations when it comes to organizational structure, forces both internal and external, etc., as scale ramps up. And, all of the software tools, ideas about "the paperless office", professionalization of management (MBAs), etc., seem to increasingly barely keep the people trying to "manage" these companies, themselves, from effectively drowning. Even worse, these same tools and skillsets and such then tend to result in even larger sizes being reached, complexity increasing further, forces increasing further and becoming potentially more conflicting / contradictory ... In my opinion, the notion of "MBA" and concepts like "fiduciary responsibility" have BECOME a problem, even when, initially, they helped solve problems that were inhibiting productivity and efficiency growth, for example. But, really, the core problem is - it's a neverending cycle ... a "vicious cycle". We continue to engineer the world towards a kind of decrease in "humanity". In the "human scale", in aspects that are oriented towards what humans are good at, what improves our well-being, etc. This is a trade-off, in the sense that the growth, "progress", and various other aspects more optimized by the sort of dehumanization of "professional management" and "massive scale" have generated improvements in standard of living, availability of goods and services for people, etc. But, it seems likely (and certainly guaranteed on a long enough timeline) that we are or will be in a more outright "net negative" situation at some point. Arguably, indicators like the declines in average lifespan in America suggest we're tilting into that net negative already, and it wouldn't surprise me (though I don't know what the research says in this) if we've been tilting more towards that direction for even a couple of decades. All of this reminds me of a line delivered by "Samuel Gerard" (Tommy Lee Jones) in "The Fugitive" - "... did 7 1/2 billion dollars in net sales last year alone. That company is a monster." There are monsters among us - corporations like GE, for example, may never have looked like "teddy bears", but today's companies make the GE of 70+ years ago look downright cuddly in comparison.

Yeah, no matter why youre doing lay offs, that is not necessary to be that ruthless and cold about it.

@@clagueb3686 companies are obligated to give NOTICE. NO EXCEPTIONS. Anything else is worse than the time Wall Street caused the 2008 recession. This goes to show that Wall Street at least doesn't pretend to save the world. Silicon Valley is delusional woke.

I used to think this but now I work in cyber security industry and handles multiple incidents of people trying to leak or exfiltrate sensitive information of the company when they are told that they are laid off. So from a security perspective, it should be the way to go.

You mean a tech job specifically right? Cause the rest of the market seems desperate for employees.

@@jonjeskie5234 This is primarily a pool of jobs working in staff and administrative positions at universities, customer service roles, non-profit jobs and tech jobs at startups and corporations. While I haven’t found what I’m looking for yet I would hope to be paid enough money to afford an apartment at market rent and a modest ability to afford goods and services. If that job doesn’t provide someone with that ability I personally believe it should be automated or eliminated. I worked at a grocery store for several years and a cafe for several years as well. I don’t mind working ANY job as long as I’m paid adequately for my labor and value.

yeah they are begging for people in my field. and I didn't have to spend all that money on college. a trade is the way to go

Are you applying for tech jobs or human resources jobs? I feel that hr jobs are a lot harder to get.

Well, we are SEVERELY short staffed as heck in healthcare in nursing and related fields...major shortage...so there are jobs that need filling, just not fluffy office jobs. Lots of skilled trades are so short on people too they are making bank. If you already have a bachelor's degree you can go to get your RN in a couple of years as most pre reqs are done. If you want to be a tech/CNA of some sort its usually just a semester or two to get a cert. Skilled trades lots you can do if you take a year or two as well. Things are out of whack and we have far too many "starbucks degrees" when we really need people that do real things. As more boomers retire from trades etc this disparity will become even more obvious. There are jobs in other words, just maybe not the ones that you want, but the market dictates what it wants not us. It is our choice to follow the market or not.

Needed this, 4 years of unemployment after graduating as an E Engineer. This made me panic less.

How was it running that car business while working full time? I assume you hired a person there to run it?

Sure however we can't just magically make other forms of income. Glad things worked out for you but this overwhelming ability to not have some perspective when telling people to just do something is unfortunately not very helpful at all. Your line of work is critical, as is your location. For creatives? We're screwed. Otherwise, might as well tell people to go find money... Somehow. "Somehow"...well, exactly. That's not how things work.. somehow. :)

The executives *are* the company, not the employees. The employees are merely labor hired by executives for their company, the same way we hire a landscaper to make the lawn in our house look nice. Once the lawn work is done, we pay him and tell him bye bye. It is the homeowner who gets accolades for having a nice lawn, not the landscaper guy. It is the same thing in business. The solution is for employees to start their own businesses once they've gained enough skill. Only then should they start feeling attached to "the business they help grow and build tremendous value."

@@JasbirSingh-zj1fg Get out here with that crap! History is littered with cases where executives drove successful companies to the ground, get fat bonuses for their lackluster performance - the so called "golden parachutes" - and then leave to some other company to try to do the same over there whereas the faithful employees and the suckers shareholders that believed in them in the first place are left behind to clean up the mess. Employees are literally the life and blood of any successful company and any manager worth his salt knows that.

Currently, the stock market is experiencing significant volatility. However, by making accurate calculations and strategic decisions, you can navigate through this period successfully. Bloomberg and other financial media outlets have reported instances where individuals have gained over 250k within a few weeks or a couple of months, indicating potential opportunities for wealth transfer during this downturn if you know where to focus your attention.

Anticipated sectors such as transportation and e-commerce are predicted to undergo growth, among others. However, it's important to note that the market has been filled with unexpected twists and turns.

I have learned from the market uncertainties of the past, which is why I no longer rely on rumors and hearsay to make my market judgments and decisions. In 2020, I made the mistake of holding onto worthless positions, but with the guidance of an advisor, I completely revamped my portfolio. It took some time before I started witnessing notable improvements in my portfolio's performance. Since then, I have continued to work with the same advisor, and within two years, I have successfully scaled up my investments by 750k. Whether the market is bullish or experiencing a downturn, both scenarios can yield profitable outcomes-it all depends on where you focus your attention.

Having a counselor is crucial when it comes to diversifying your portfolio. The advisor I work with is *STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS* , who can be easily found and possesses extensive expertise in the financial markets.

If people can afford gym memberships and coffeeshop coffee after getting laid off, then I would say they came from high paying jobs and have enough savings to 'wait and choose' their next - equally high paying job. If I got laid off, all these additional expenses like gym, coffee shops etc would be the first casualty.

Because the layoffs took cost out of the business and made the bottom line look better. Ergo, CEO is doing his job.

Because those bonuses are usually promised beforehand, typically when they were hired.

Also, because layoffs are often viewed as a good move by the CEO by the shareholders. Good bois get rewarded.

Because our system has screwed up priorities. People that don’t even work in the company are getting paid by the company based on profits. If profits are down, lay-offs make them go up and share holders are paid. This isn’t actually good for the company or the economy, but it’s good for the shareholders.

Slave and slave master

Shareholders demand

That's why I'd rather buy tech stocks than work in tech

who cares

there are several problems aside from not enough jobs, it's idiotic companies that expect candidates to magically appear, they are not proactive, when Disney couldn't find enough animators he opened up a school. if you want the talent you have to build them, another reason things are so bad, companies don't want to do on the job training, they could easily train someone to do whatever job they want in the amount of time it takes them to find that magical candidate but none are willing to put in the work. furthermore tech companies are not even looking for entry level candidates, they are mostly looking for those with 5+ years of experience, the differences were like 60% vs 8% and around 20% for mid level roles

And only counts those who qualify for unemployment, which isn’t close to the number of actually unemployed.

Most of the tech workers are in it for the money. If they can’t keep a job they need to go back to their communication degrees since they didn’t work hard enough

The IT industry is over saturated with employees it doesn't need. Literally 80% of all the real work is done by 20% of the employees. So never mind there not being enough jobs. There are too many many unnecessary workers with jobs being paid to just show up. And you don't even have to do that if 100% remote. 😶

Most people who want to get into tech do it for the money and will not succeed. At least 50% of my university colleagues think they will be rich and this is the only reason, but they know nothing and can provide no value to a business. They re not driven to learn, but to get the degree and get hired😂. I have been working since the first semester of university and everyone only asked me about money and job title, but no one asked me what to learn to get there quicker or how did i do it so quickly. Don't worry about new graduates. Not yet

facts

"high skilled workers become common skilled workers" only would apply if the said person does not keep its own data base updated, In the world of IT or Technologies said person or data server language model like GPT must be maintained updated and keep education flowing same as human, So you can learn how to use to maximize skill and further knowledge or be resentful towards it.

That has more to do with the technology maturing and prioritizing ease of use. Those 14yos wouldn't have been able to build computers 30 years ago. And good luck diagnosing DOS boot issues without a 700 page manual

​@@waterisformlessHonestly it wasn't really harder to build a computer 30 years ago. A lot of it was still the same, socketed chips, PCI/AGP/ISA expansion, modular power supplies, socketable DIMMs, the works. It all still existed. There has just been more interest in recent times. It also helps that overall electronics resiliency to things like static electricity has drastically improved in that time, giving a lot more leeway in regards to how much you could feasibly handle a component without damaging it.

More widely available information than before, if you have the equipment or knowledge you can do almost everything by yourself

Specifically, which roles are these recruiters looking to hire now?

To write code that runs logistic management systems or avionics or military stuff, you need to do actual real engineering school. Europeans make a good distinction between "Informaticien" and "Ingenieur informaticien" and "developpeur". A developpeur is a developpeur, an informaticien can work as a developpeur or an analyste or whatever else, an ingenieur informaticien is an informaticien on steroids, these guys usually have a genuinely solid applied maths education and they are the kinds who write code for aircraft avionics or other highly complex stuff like trading software or military cyber offense/defence tools. The key is that an informaticien is trained to have a deep understanding of software while the ingenieur informaticien is trained to deeply understand the software, the hardware, and whatever real-world process/systems they are manipulating. It is common to find the ingenieurs informaticiens doing 40+% of their education with the electricals, the mechanicals, and the applied physicists.

Human creativity doesn't come out of thin air. There isn't a soul concept that infuses human with creativity. IMO the real problem with AI is that it is lacking any semblance of intelligence. It's just a big fake that hides the underlying statistical output. That output is not a product of intelligence. It's the result of parsing big data and querying it with statistical algorithms. The day we have enough computing power to actually tackle a real artificial intelligence it will have no issues coming up with new creative concept by combining existing ones in ways human haven't yet tried/think of.

As a programmer esp who has worked on AI projects, this is 100% rightly put. The only downside for humans is, it's so good at cheating, that it can simultaneously cheat out of 1000 peoples content and present with a super content.

You're wrong if you're saying that humans have better creativity than AI. 99.99 percent of people can't generate super creative ideas like it did Einstein or Newton. Humans has same creativity as AI does. And that creativity just analysis information and outputs a solution.

If they respected the local laws and the work contracts of the employees I think it's fair. All things considered, companies with low earning CEOs tend to be cooperative and public service related. They offer much lower salary than the ones with high earning CEOs. That said, some form of earning cap like what is done in some professional sports wouldn't hurt.

Companies are looking for at least 3 years on-the-job experience and a pitch perfect personality. They have no money to train Juniors or pay a Juicy salary for a Senior. But they expect the best talent? It is a scam. Im based in Europe btw.

Because you are not an software engineer , they are doing fine

There was a shortage of experienced Software developers (maybe not so much right now). Every company sits and waits for other ocmpanies to hire new grads, seeing that as being gullible, and waiting the new grad to get experience in the other company so they can snatch him. If a company claims there is a shortage of a specific kind of workers, they should be assigned new grads in the field. If they refuse, they should be fined heavily. Free market doesn't mean you should influence it using lies and manipulation.

😂😂😂😅..

😂😂😂😂😂 you funny 😆

Skynet is recruiting!

No way.

get better skills

@@hamburger6154 won't change anything because it's not a matter of skills. It's a matter of timed experience.

Tradesmen are laughing their butts off watching this Hunger Games tech economic bloodbath. Welcome to the 2nd annual tech job Hunger Games. Made the odds be in your favor.😂😂😂😂😂😂

you better rethink that, heard a lot of people having problems with "gaps" in their resumes being brought up as a reason for not getting hired, or you might wanna go and lie as others are suggesting and saying you were self employed during

@@Zuranthus yea that’s a concern. I’ll make something up if it causes me issue on first interview. Just wanted to get off rat race for a bit & enjoy summer.

@@abdiganiadenliterally everyone’s lying and it’s a mess. Companies with their absurd job ads, overinflated CVs, everyone ghosting. Everyone knowing everything. It seems that it’s more a matter of luck these days. Go for it, nothing to lose, they looked for it. Also ChatGPT CVs (not a bad thing) fighting AI selected CV.

@@abdiganiadenit’s been almost 6 months. how are you now?

@@TheMrBlueKoolaid nice, thanks for asking. And I am now employed with a major airline. I planned to use all 6 months but a recruiter reached out and convinced me, I also don’t pay for most domestic flights anymore due to a job perk so was win in the end

Spot on, you’ve got your finger on the pulse. It’s all about data now

At this point. reputation doesn't mean anything to them since thousands of companies are doing the same.

@MOBMJ so did you get any software engineering job?

Really? LMAO. As a fellow software engineer, I can tell you I don’t fckn care that a company hurt your feelings by not calling you back as long as they call me back! I believe this is the norm. What are you guys gonna do? Say no to a company who calls you back because they ghosted some guy? 😂

That was my first thought, learn to mine! 🤣

I guess same goes for math and physics 👍

Tradesmen are laughing their butts off watching this Hunger Games tech economic bloodbath.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So the next step is to facilitate the transition to the physical side, the hardware, maybe there will be some jobs in there.

@@exriodonorte67 That's I.T.. A few people handle all the hardware (and software) needs for the company.

This system can’t work. Everyone else would be homeless, it would result in revolution and riots. But the CEOs won’t be able to see that, and are not as smart as they think they are.

wouldn't bet on AI becoming good enough for that

@@bentos117 I would.

I don’t, 80% of the new influx of tech employees are only in it for the money, the real ones like us who’s been doing this since we were in middle school KNOWS job security is low and you have to keep up with the times or get cut off

until professional jobs w/ tech companies ( that manufacture physical "stuff" every month ) comes back to SV like in the 60's, 70's, 80;s, 90's, 00's ...having worked here for 40 years, SV has been like the Titanic after the iceberg hit, Covid though, was the final nails in the coffin...

Austin Texas and Dallas is the next silicon valley

Bruh. 🤦🏻‍♂️ There was already poop in the streets of SF before.

Thats a little dramatic

But more importantly don't trust a random autist in the youtube comments.

Not true. AI will never be able to make better judgmental decisions

@@r-uu2qi”never”? Bs

well first, people in developing countries

@@troyarrington5492 tell me when then. We’ve been hearing for at least 100 years that robots will take over.

Part of the issue is not having a service that produces any tangible benefit you can make heads or tail of but throwing money at it anyway because it's the next 'unicorn'. Speculative VC firms. Fun.

@@chrisaycock5965no the biggest issue was social media inflating the lives of tech workers and brining in millions of unqualified people in jobs they weren’t supposed to get in the first place

Exactly. Speculative hiring has a lot of ripples. You hire developers, you also hire middle managers, and support staff (HR, Accounting, Media and outsourced positions like custodians).

This is just a market correction, a glitch in the matrix

@@weird-guy I just imagined a labour market chart, with that correction 😯 thanks. If corrections like this creates instability, then there should be some kind of insurance or even better someone storing up those labour commodity(it technically is) at a cheap price till when the labour market (connected to the capital market) needs them again. Plus, the cheap price could stimulate the economy perhaps even more quickly, while also sustaining people. PS: the idea is not mine, it's MMT(modern monetary theory)

So was oil, railroad profitability, the value of the dollar atp, real estate up until 2008, etc. we’re constantly evolving and changing nothing is here forever so stop staying idle before your job ceases to exist in 40 years😊

NVIDIA is worth over one trillion, yet has gross revenue (not profit!) of 27 billion. The power of marketing!

1% of AI will work pretty well, though! Who cares about the other 99%? 😊

Only low level jobs or reduce will be replaced by ai

Hahahaha. I remember that!

This was only some people, not every single person that works in tech.

lol what? No one in tech did that. Do you have an example? From my memory, it was only idiot journalists who mocked laid off energy workers, to the chagrin of everyone in tech
