Just got the news this week me and everyone else that works customer service remotely is being laid off, they had us all sign our severance agreements and we will be all laid off in the next month or two. The greed is unreal with corporate America, the raises we were supposed to get would’ve been laughable anyway. Just know you are always expendable and should always keep an eye on new opportunities because the rug will be pulled out from under you. Can’t wait to claim my pittance of unemployment insurance.

Insist something be done both as accurately as possible and as fast as possible. If someone gets a lot done. Find their mistakes and tell them to slow down. When they slow down to avoid mistakes….. THEN insist they are not fast enough. You'll eventually have to fire them. But the company will replace them with someone else. And you just rinse and repeat.

Have we considered that the similarly timed mass layoffs in tech might be a coordinated attack against workers?

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/20/business/google-alphabet-layoffs.html With both Amazon, Microsoft, and Google laying of thousands of workers within the same week, is it possible that it is a coordinated attack on the working class? These are companies experiencing significant profit growth and some of them experiencing record profits, so what gives? Are they TRYING to fast-track this recession? Knowing that they will weather a recession, are they trying to crash the market and go about buying up cheaper real estate and assets? Maybe their goal is to flood the market with unemployed tech workers so that they can rehire workers at a huge discount. I think it at least bears considering that there might be some foul play at work and an outright attack on the working class is happing right now.
