I hate feeling like an expendable human resource. When I was laid off it was completely without advanced notice, they're never considerate enough to notify you two weeks in advance (like we are supposed to do).
It's not like the executive types are known for their empathy. I've seen the Chairman of the Board throw full on temper tantrums (and throwing stuff) at his subordinates. They have zero qualms laying us off if it means it increases this quarter's bottom line.
Yup. Post-COVID, the rich were scared by the newly empowered worker who had just finally begun to understand their worth and power, and have declared war on the working class in retaliation. There's plenty of evidence for this by now; the pattern is obvious.
So real talk time, what are doing about it?
Why aren't the remaining workers walking out in protest? Why aren't sympathetic industries and collectives talking to all of these recently released labor force members and collectively organizing marches and strikes, encouraging workers to refuse to do labor until executives take massive paycuts?
What do we have to do, and why aren't we doing it?
And if you are somebody out there doing it, what do people like me have to do to get involved?
The worst part is seeing all these people getting mad at their computers. Call me when y'all are ready to drag them out of their houses and roast them, I'll wait for you to catch up.
Didn’t Microsoft just report massive profits after reporting they played off tons of people? Maybe it was in reverse order, but they knew they had massive profits at the same time they were laying off tons of people.
You will see this trend with Ai more and more, expected 40% lost of jobs worldwide due to the Ai implememtation. Google former Ai head of departement claims.

For real though. Yes the CEO can get a pay cut, but that is unlikely to save more than a few individuals. The costs of labour are just that high, often the highest of all costs a company has. That's why laying off staff, although terrible, is the best way to save money for a company.
I agree that CEOs earn waaaaay to much for what they actually do, but cutting that is not the magic solution people imagine it is.
Even the famous pay cut by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo was accompanied by other cost saving measures in the company, and only because Japanese law demands that layoffs be the last thing a company does.
Cool comic but is it necessary that we see corpo and ceo bad posts every day? I didnt know this is boringdystopia. Lets either coordinate strikes or not talk about it at all.
