    Though I am not a tech giant; I hired an employee with no college degree during the pandemic. This woke employee was nearly broke when I hired him. Paid him 30% more than he ever made before and gave over $4k in bonuses that were not offered when hired. He quits on me with a 5 day notice stating he could do better elsewhere with a refusal to transition out when he left. Even purchased a "Tesla" just a couple months before. Found out recently he is unemployed and cannot find a job. Unfortunate for him, but ain't that Karma!

      I had an employee who "wasn't looking for a job" but was offered a "Great Opportunity" so he left. 6 months later he's calling me wanting his job back. I didn't have a spot for him, so he moved on. I found out later he was making $1.00 an hour more at the "Great Opportunity", but he could "work all the overtime he wanted to". He was due a raise in 30 days, which would have been a $1.00 an hour and I paid him a bonus every Thanksgiving. When I got his unemployment paperwork, he made less money in the six months he was at the "Great Opportunity" than the six months prior he worked for me. I split his Thanksgiving bonus up between my other employees.

      I work in Big Tech.
      There's huge risk in telling employees that they've been laid off and/or especially when they're fired.
      When it's a layoff, what often happens is that they'll tell you, and then lock many of your internal accounts to minimize the possibility that you do damage to the company out of petty revenge (e.g. deleting or screwing with valuable documentation, data, etc).
      They'll still keep you around for a couple months or so, mainly to fulfill contractual obligations or to be nice and give you time to find a new job. It's basically your 60 day notice or whatever. But you're basically paid to do nothing (because we don't trust you to do honest work anymore) with minimal access anyway. A lot of people will feel traumatized like that employee because it's very sudden for you to suddenly lose access to many accounts (even ones you use for internal communication, so you lose many contacts, suddenly).
      If it's a firing (for legit reasons), it's usually more severe because they don't need to warn you at all. Suddenly you're called in, and told to hand in your equipment (laptop and company phone) with no time to prepare, because they don't want to give you time to write your goodbyes or be dramatic over group emails, destroy valuable info, etc.
      People who aren't used to that and don't understand why these are policies will often feel shocked/traumatized like her and wish they were given a warning. I don't think it's entitlement, tbh, it's just lack of preparation, and the sudden realization that they have no time to even say goodbye.

    The tech companies offered these perks because employees were meant to be working 24/7. In the early days of Silicon Valley you would hear of people sleeping under their desks, only eating fast food, working 100 hour weeks to get work done, etc. These campuses were not designed to make work fun, but keep people working and not complaining. They did the cost benefit analysis and decided that catered lunches and sleep pods were way cheaper than hiring more people or extending deadlines.

The real issue is, because they have no experience, they will cut people based off what could be less relevant things like people skills or work history.
      You also run into overinflated egos. Your recruiter could come up with some "genius level" question that will determine if you get a call back. Possibly they will steer the conversation near politics or social habits to determine if you could be a "good fit". You could be the best person for the job, but because you didnt laugh at a joke, or because you give off "bad vibes", you may not even show on their radar.

Because I am working 60+ hours a week coding in sql and python (not fun) while the people they cut did nothing. Surprisingly my workplace got alot less diverse and inclusive. That's all I will say.

Which is justifiable. She is working the clock after all.
    But then she tells me that here are these other employees that don't even do an eighth of what she does. They just lounging about, doing an hour or so "work", only to then do nothing again the rest of the day. They also act like such airheads, in her words, posting this and that about having the best job ever, blah blah.

    My mom and dad had me when they were 18 & 19. My dad dropped everything and worked for 16 years at a company, working his way up to upper level management after starting on the warehouse team. He left because he worked his ass off but wasn’t being paid enough. The new company he was working for was a software company, paying him a lot better. This was around 2008-2009. He was laid off after a year, and it took him a few months to start a new job where he’s working now and has been for like 5 years, getting paid very well. But I’ll never forget how hard he worked all those years to get to a place where he was being paid what he was worth. I’ll also never forget how he was during the time he was laid off. How ashamed and guilty he felt. How our family had to adjust. But we did adjust and we supported him through it. I don’t wish a lay off on anyone, especially those with family, but these people aren’t even working. They are pampered and show up to day care each day until they can head home. It’s insane to me that they didn’t see this coming, or that they could ever be upset about being let go or laid off. These tech layoffs are going to be a large eye-opener for those living in an area that they now aren’t able to afford.

They obviously took the time to practice their idiotic dance moves so that would be multiple days of using their breaks to dance?! I've even seen where a doctor was dancing because they came up with the toxic vaccine. Some of those dance routines were actually done in operating areas. Many hospitals doing the same thing, some were up and down the full length of the hospital hallways which I would think is very insensitive to people who are supposed to be on the brink of death. Don't try to bullshit me, I looked into as many of these that I could find, big smiles on all their faces, families weren't permitted to visit loved ones dying but nobody had a problem with 20 to 30 nurses dancing in the hallways?

      Engineers are valuable, but their work is often a long term, ongoing process. If you already know you won't be holding them for a long time, they can be let go almost immediately because there's no point keeping them longer.
      You can't expect to squeeze just a bit more work from them, because even if they finish by the deadlines, you need to keep them around longer in case there are bugs (found internally or often much later by customers) in their finished product. Then it's better for the original architects/engineers to help solve the problems for their products. If they're not there, their product automatically has lower value because of these potential problems. Point is, there are many reasons their work is a long term investment. So there's no point in keeping them longer than they have to stay, because anything they make past the point where you know you can't keep them for much longer has less value. Might as well give them less work or ask them to pass on documentation and train others.
      Most other jobs don't involve work that go the distance like that. You can afford to keep them around longer, squeezing a bit more work out of them before finally needing to let go.

      I’m not for or against it. That said, I think it’s only logical for a business to cut the fat and big tech has a whole lot of fat in their companies

      Most people who are against big tech are because of the woke employees that have been running them for years now.

      @@mattb6646 exactly. The people that are getting cut are part of the reason big tech is so shitty. Not just evil, but actually poorly coded spaghetti nonsense.
      They should have started cutting with all the diversity teams, then HR, then developers that aren't shit.

      @@sounds0fmeows as a person in tech, Tech companies are highly elitist and purposely design their offices and campuses to keep workers loyal to the company instead of having them feel like “dread”, knowing that they clock in to look at a computer screen for 8 hours. Plus tech companies want those luxuries so they can get Glassdoor awards as being the “highly rated companies” to boost their egos. Even though people are jealous of these kids with these types of jobs, the REALITY is that Americas economy is largely dependent on Healthcare, Technology, Finance, Skilled Trades, and Real Estate and that’s why these workers get paid the big bucks in this country. It’s just unfortunate some sectors like healthcare and tech are highly corrupt.

      In her defense I lived 10 min from Disneyland and it's VERY common for California Residence (Especially people who live close) go to Disneyland Every weekend. Everyone I knew either had a yearly pass or Knew someone that worked there who could get them in for free.
      hell even the hotel I worked at we got into Disneyland Free and I could bring two other people.
      If you Live in Southern California you know at least one person who can get you Into Disneyland for cheap or free.

      I live in LA and have been twice; when I was a little girl with my parents and on a summer camp trip. It wasn’t all that to me either times. It’s so expensive, I can’t justify spending the money as a 24 year old. Especially now. I know the prices are astronomical.
