Yeah but they're gonna be hit way lighter than real jobs, like doctors and poo poo getting laid off en masse in a pandemic while ad tech is still booming

Boeing is laying off off up to a third of thier workforce. GE just announced a 25% reduction. Lyft has already laid off something like 20%, etc. Everybody is getting laid off en masse because we are entering a depression if not a great depression. Computer touchers didn't get hit immediately like the service sector did because they are working already booked and paid for projects. By this fall there are gonna be millions of unemployed engineers and IT workers.

there are institutional white collar positions that have specific knowledge bases that are impossible to cut, regardless of whether that person fucks off all day every day beyond the one or two times a month they're required. Paying them is significantly cheaper than solving the problem.

The larger the enterprise, the more of these there are, especially in IT.

People like that are safer than a random code monkey but that doesn't help if the head of IT gets told 'cut 25%, have a list ready on monday'.

Also the moral of coronavirus is to make sure you have an absolutely do nothing white collar job bc they'll never get laid off from the computer touching farm lol

Sometimes I hate having a boring computer toucher job and I want to do something that actually helps people.

But I also like food and going to the doctor

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

My opinions are wrapped in the professional world I live in, but people who have the keys to the algorithms will get fired when the company shuts down and not a moment before.

At best those are software developers, but most are simply code monkeys. no real development ability because they've never understood the details of code embryogenesis.

Can't post for 8 years!

My statistical analysis of this is that volume actually has no effect on MA drivers and the same 27 dipshit drivers who were fated to die still just happened to be on the roadways.

Really, if you think about it, I'm sure there is always a minority of driving fatalities that are really just unavoidable / freak accidents but the majority are probably the same assholes who you see on the freeway and think to yourself "How did they just avoid crashing there?" Well, if they keep doing the same dumb poo poo or they are the same incapacitated elderly/chemically impaired drivers doing the same thing they always do then, Final-Destination-like, they will meet their fate eventually.
