Ken starts a thread and @Rear_Ender comes in with an opposing view right away. Seasonality @Rear_Ender says. Yep, and the season is a slowing Economy and Companies cutting back on discretionary spending eg I.T. jobs.

All these tech workers will find work in no time. They will go work for the competitor or a vendor, or they will start their own business or retire. The demand for IT skills is neverending.

If only they can transfer their skills to robotics engineering. It's robots that we need today, to increase our productivity.

Yeah, like President's Day for example

Presidents founded this country. It's worth all the trading days to commemorate them. Hope you are not going to make this thread to be eligible to be moved to the "Politics" section. LOL

Didn't you start?

Presidents founded this country? What does that mean?
 
Tech sector hired way too much useless fluff during the boom, it makes sense they're not optimised out.

Don't assume most of these people are in tech or they are skilled. These companies would never let go of their best or even mediocre talent in this market. I suspect they let go of the ones who went to work for yoga and tea, using their education to stay relevant.

Exactly what that sentence meant. Obviously you didn't spend enough of today to ponder and realize that. You should take another day off for President's Day to realize the significance of today. Presidents' Day is officially Washington's Birthday. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidents'_Day

You brought up Juneteenth Day as a waste of time off. I don't imagine you're black and thus your criticism is unwarranted. You have no understanding of its meaning to people who fought for it. Just like MLK day infuriates right wing racists.

Presidents didn't found this country, the people did. It took many men and women fighting and dying against the British, and it took many men and women investing their blood, sweat and tears to build this country. Like all country being built, the elite of the time found a leader to elect as president.

From what I saw on LinkedIn* it appears the layoffs at tech firms affected the internal recruiters, HR and other related not-so-important (IMO) roles. Yes actual engineers (esp new engs) and managers got also caught up in the mix but I think the vast majority where non-technical.

*Aka the various people openly stating they'd been laid off or related folks sharing the original posters' posts
