I’m also a bit concerned. I’m part of a strategic change program which is code for lmao bye because we are still a few years from generating positive value. I suppose I could always go back to a product team, but if the rest of the big tech shops are having huge layoffs I might actually have to compete with good people?

Telluric Whistler posted:Is your strategic change automating, outsourcing or "capability building" (e.g, developing methods to get people to quit and be replaced by lower paid workers)? It isn’t any of that, happily. Basically my industry has a giant sustainability problem in that there aren’t enough computers on the planet to continue to perform my old job function. I’m working on a capability to do the same work with fewer computers. You could actually spin it as an environmental win if we weren’t going to just piss away the extra efficiency on more capitalism! I suspect that compute resources in general will get a lot cheaper if there is a giant tech crash, though, so the business case will definitely change. At least my company makes an actual useful product instead of just stealing money like fintechs do, so there’s a chance I don’t get hosed at least.

I feel like that is going to be harder right now since they’ll be competing with more people who just got laid off but that’s pure speculation on my part

yeah, my boss got dragged into something today forcing him to cancel a bunch of stuff we had planned, and I assume it is budget related. we could have dramatically reduced costs by eliminating a bunch of unnecessary office space but lmao no we have to try and force everyone back to the plague pits
