The class warfare continues. However, calling it a war when one side is organized, united, and clear on objectives, strategy, and tactics, while the other side is fighting each other, mostly doesn’t realize there is a real war they are losing quite badly, and has no clue who is the enemy, is vastly over generous.

Yeah it really makes me want to join the capitalists, even if they are terrible shitheads. The alternative is continuing to lose and suffer for no reason....

…or maybe sometimes businesses have recessions where they have to reign in spending. I know, rich people bad and big companies bad, but this is just silly levels of dramatic rhetoric.

And all these tech companies, providing completely different services with the only connection between them being they use the internet, are all conveniently having a downtown at the same time. In different industries. But at the same time. Ok.

Or maybe you don't actually know what you're talking about.

I work in tech buddy, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

It’s more reasonable to assume a lot of these big companies threw a lot of money at acquiring and retaining talent in response to the increased use of remote tech services during COVID, only to find the trends unsustainable later on and having to let go of a fraction of the many people they hired.

Compared to assuming that all these companies coordinated hiring and firing employees for what, the hell of it? Just to say “fuck you” to the working class? This just makes no sense. It’s a loss for them.

>I work in tech buddy

Yes, because every single person that works in tech knows business. Sure.

"Hey guys, I can design a website! Guess I'm ready to be CEO!"

Buddy

It’s cool how you didn’t respond to anything I said and just got triggered that I said “buddy” lmao

Also, these companies absolutely have a lot of competing services. GCP vs AWS vs Azure. Easy. Google vs Bing, there’s another.

That dude/girl/person just refuses to admit Microsoft and Google are competitors. Its laughable that he/she makes a wrong assertion and doesnt know or want to know. Come on man! Email, Office products, messaging, social media (though both kinda failed), data centers, phones, music streaming.

Its not an insult. Its 2022 I dont assume buddy or girl as insults. But you view it as one says a lot.

Actually it doesn't lol. I just know your type.

Yet you said it was an insult. MS and Google are competitors with direct competing products like email and data centers. Im the type who can accept a fact.

Indirect competition isn't the same as direct competition. It isn't hard to understand.

Revolutionary_Lie539 t1_j5fmstd wrote

Now you are trolling. Server hosting, and email is direct competition. I have used both Exchange and Gmail at past companies. Ive used servers hosted by Google and MS. Its not hard to understand. Keep pushing your narative and goal post.

If unemployment and jobs added didn’t point to this not being a strain to the economy at the moment, I’d almost hear you out. Even though it’s the play of a lot of people these days, I don’t really see your class warfare point adding up in this case..
