Reply to comment by EasternAssistance185 in Tech layoffs surpass Great Recession levels, set to get worse in early 2023 by EagleEyes_009

I’ve always been in operations and engineering .. even during the dotcom days I never once saw a competent coder or sysadmin stay unemployed for more than two weeks

Saw shitloads of marketing guys and especially recruiters grouped in that category and they got laid off and changed jobs or took unemployment

This is the same. Strong skilled workers are always needed and can innovate.

I agree with you

Edit - you also can’t count dipshit CEO’s laying off people when the ceo doesn’t know what they are doing like musk.

Shit. During dotcom here in Sweden it was ridiculously hard to get a job as a junior SWD. It was so hard I was out of the game for ten years and I have a friend who just got out of uni with a SWD degree and he never got in to the trade. He runs a hot dog stand today.
