    I saw this video that made so much sense. They are purposely doing mass layoffs all at once so companies can “put entitled employees in their place”. The post pandemic work marketplace has been very employee centric. Meaning employees had all the leverage and we’re all negotiating higher wages and better working conditions, demanding work from home, etc. These massive layoffs are meant for companies to make employees feel insecure and vulnerable. Allowing employers to retake the leverage in the workplace.

      @@niricoelmingo4721 I'm going to slightly disagree here, but just slightly. Yes it would seem that employers have the advantage in these situations, but then again for the longest time since the onset of covid, there have been tens of thousands, if not millions, who took full advantage of being paid for not working at all. What should have only been 2-3 months worth of payments at the longest turned into a couple of years for many people. The government should have cut the freebies off a lot earlier than they did and the results were some incredibly spoiled and lazy people who expected a lot for nothing in return. That mentality still exists to a point even today.

    I survived 3 layoffs at a company in 2 years then got laid off in 2009 with half my coworkers.
    We all went to the bar afterwards. The people who stayed had a terrible experience. Fire fighting problems, pissed off customers, failing equipment long hours. Company sold to overseas competitor.
    I learned really quick to get my finances in order, pay off debt and get a emergency fund setup. Working really hard towards getting early retirement level funds saved up.

      Good story. The lesson is, getting laid off is sometimes a blessing. I got laid off March 2020, the early days of COVID. Another one third of the office staff got canned too. Then a month later, I talked to one of the "lucky" survivors, and he was doing 1 1/2 times the work for a "temporary" 40% pay reduction (that ended up lasting the rest of the year, when they kicked it to a 15% reduction). He was truly pissed that he DIDN'T get laid off, because he would have been making a lot more on the enhanced unemployment that year than he has slaving away at the office. Him and couple other project managers resigned before the year was out, then the company went into rehiring mode in 2021, but refused to pay any more than the rate they were paying pre-pandemic, so they hired a bunch of recent college grads. And the boss is still golfing and driving his Lexus. I'm sure the process will repeat itself when the next downturn hits.
      As for me, I found part time work after a few months, then added some contract work in 2022, and was making decent money, and was MUCH happier than before. Now I'm back to full time, making very good money, and saving as much as possible, because who knows what's going to happen tomorrow.

    I use to be a mid level manager at a telecommunications company, where my job was to audit calls for quality control and I would do one on one coaching with my people, to make them better at handling customers. I was really good and efficient at my job, and always won the shift bid. My CEO at the time was banging all the half way decent ooking chick's, one was in law school and had the same job as me, and could never keep up with her work load. I remember my CEO coming to me asking if I could come in an hour early and stay an hour late to help her. Keep in mind I always see her do her schooling at work. I'm sorry I'm a single mom of two. My daycare bill is not going up because your getting your jollies off in a law student. How about you help her since you like her so much. We had layoffs later that year. About 20 coaches got laid off, but guess who got to stay even though she could never deal with her work load.

    For the history nerds like me: Does anyone feel a return to the days when big business owned you lock, stock and barrel? You danced to their tune, or you were replaced instantaneously. They are creating a massive unemployment scenario among educated, skilled people who want to work. They are paying pennies. They are creating a scene where your job is everything and you will do anything to keep your job. Job security is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Notice that the jobs on the line are primarily held by middle class Americans. In spite of the fact that they are making Billions upon Billions of dollars, they are expecting people to work long hours, weekends and I see an end to holidays or a severe reduction at least. You will be grateful for whatever pittance they pay and do whatever you can with it.

    When you work for someone else (i.e. you are an "employee"), you have ZERO control. Someone else decides your destiny. I was in tech from 1995-2005 at one of the largest big tech players during the halcyon days of tech, and I woke up in December of 2004 and decided I had enough of the stress and just walked away.

    Lay-offs are really the only thing for which there is no "safe space." Aside from maybe a severance package (which a surprisingly high amount of workers are not eligible) knowing you're at the mercy of the free market and there's no longer an HR representative to frivolously complain to has to be every bit as terrifying as the homeless encampments you once drove by.

    • @Objectified
      @Objectified Před 5 měsíci +2

      Many companies do exactly that. Every company I've ever worked for does exactly that. When they DON'T do that is when the employee being laid off doesn't have any other skill set, or those other roles have already been populated by other employees who have been moved to them because their skill set was a better fit. And in many cases companies that don't lay off some portion of their workforce don't HAVE a future for ANY of their workforce.

    I survived the layoff, only to have to work 3 times as hard, making up for the folks that were no longer working there. They then installed a data input system that took us 3 times as long to get the same information in. And then they hired a manager to micromanage us. At that point, I joked to the fellow coworkers that if I got fired right then, I'd probably walk out crying AND laughing because I would be both sad AND happy. When you work for a company and you don't know whether being employed is a good thing or bad thing, that's messed up.

From there, I went to a regional CPA firm, left there to start my own, left that to be a Controller for 8 years, left that for a bigger regional CPA firm, left that to be a Controller, left that to start my own CPA firm, left that AFTER 10 YEARS, to run IT for a NYSE-listed company, made a lateral move to the accounting department and retired 3 days before I turned 65. Funny how I was always in demand and I could still be working over 5 years later.

When applying for new roles those hiring managers will want an explanation for the gap in work or why that person is no longer with the previous company, so there’s no other way to position it other than saying it’s a layoff. Saying it’s a layoff is better than saying you took time off for family because you don’t want them to think you’re going to take time off when you start a new job. Wow!

So we keep loads of records and have lawyers review everything. At some point these were consumer protection laws but the laws now feel like empty fodder for the legal industry, and obviously costs get passed along.

The expectation that exempt employees work over the scheduled 40 hours consistently is a joke.
