Job cuts for October totaled 153,074, a 183% surge from September and 175% higher than the same month a year ago. It was the highest level for any October since 2003 and has been the worst year for layoffs since 2009.
Companies in the technology sector announced 33,281 cuts, nearly six times the level in September.
Well, it's so good to see that Dell finally contributed to something at the National level.
So a guy who doesn't give a cr-p about what other tech companies are doing is a sick individual with no soul?...That is hilarious...Hes probably focused on doing his job while you just whine about how tough things are for you...poor thing...pick yourself up and get your chit together already...its a job...love it or leave it...not hard
@ca Depends what industry you are in? Mine happens to be consistently stable regardless of how the job market is. I search for jobs fairly often and there is no shortage of them, that's for sure lol.
@ar it is because of AI, but not the reason we think. I watched an economist discuss this the other day and they said a lot of tech companies are scrambling to catch up on AI server orders, and moving a lot of their cap expenditure into manufacturing and delivery, so they have to move that money from labor costs into manufacturing. So in a way, you are losing your job because of this AI bo-m.
@c2 “I don’t care that the giant tsunami wave just drowned a bunch of people, and I’m standing in its shadow, it hasn’t drowned me yet.” -this guy probably.
A sick individual with no compassion and no soul. I’m sorry you’re an empty person inside.
@c2 you will if you get laid off and realize how bad the job market is.
you're in November
Ok so what lol?
idgaf what other tech companies are doing. As long as I have a job i couldn't care less about how many people in the tech industry were laid off in october versus september.
@ak - if you believe these WFRs are due to "AI", you probably need to research more. It's all a shell game. Companies are using "AI" as an excuse to cut people.
well, that's the industry, yes, replaced by Ai.
but you can mark yourself safe on Facebook from being replaced by AI at Dell because we have JR blocking it at scale
