Reply to comment by Anaxamenes in IBM and SAP become latest tech companies to lay off thousands of workers by diacewrb

We still won’t have enough people to fill tech roles. We’re not smart enough… don’t create enough. These people will find jobs no problem. Because these tech layoffs are all makeups for leadership failure and cheap money.

I just don’t want it artificially suppressing wages. If there aren’t a lot of them, then they should be expensive.

Sadly this whole thing is to artificially suppress wages and force those that remain to do more with less. Has nothing to do with the companies hurting.

Exactly, they find a way to bring more people in to keep the wages low. The real problem is it’s a brain drain in those countries. Many of them actually need highly educated and skilled people to stick around to build up their economies but the US takes many of them.

We complain a lot here about other countries having bad economies while we steal their highly educated and use them to keep our own wages lower.
