Until they’re part of the layoffs too.

By the time they make the cuts everyone that can find another job will be gone

Indeed. I expect mass layoffs basically immediately.

totalrobe | karma | avg karma · | 2015-04-16 15:03:36+00:00

And then those overpaid employees will be laid off...

bogota | karma 1479 | avg karma 3.7 · | 2023-10-17 21:23:38

Jeez, the layoffs will continue until morale improves i guess

8note | karma 4988 | avg karma 1.12 · | 2022-09-16 14:30:42

They already do - when the value goes down today, they are laid off, or the bosses do more wage theft than usual

undersuit | karma 2514 | avg karma 1.23 · | 2023-10-06 15:46:56

No, they'll continue to be laid off like in previous years.

As the plebs get laid off

dmix | karma 39707 | avg karma 3.48 · | 2021-02-25 00:38:52

They will when people are all leaving for better pay elsewhere.

beebmam | karma 3995 | avg karma 3.45 · | 2023-03-27 20:50:23

They're also ruining the functioning of their companies with wave after wave of layoffs.

JohnFen | karma 30257 | avg karma 1.9 · | 2023-02-09 11:35:01

This is a regular cycle. These companies will eventually overhire again, then they'll lay people off again. This has been the pattern in the industry for a very long time.

harles | karma 1413 | avg karma 5.14 · | 2023-02-08 18:21:15

They probably are and it’s likely a different set of people than those that were laid off.

csa | karma 3923 | avg karma 2.72 · | 2022-09-14 11:51:30

Indeed.

They may not realize it, but they will quietly lose business over time to folks who are not fans of the style of this layoff.

Thank god they all have massive amounts of cash to eat through before they have to lay off workers.

shapefrog | karma 2323 | avg karma 1.61 · | 2023-01-31 15:19:01

No doubt they will pour one out for all the homies laid off.

_pmf_ | karma 2981 | avg karma 1.06 · | 2017-07-14 12:21:10+00:00

They get laid off for being making their department a black hole for money, though.

bulbosaur123 | karma 174 | avg karma 0.96 · | 2023-05-27 15:36:19

And what happens next? These laid off workers magically find another job or change profession to blue collar? Or do they immediately get UBI?

I think the writing on the wall is clear. There will be a lot of suffering and it will get bloody.

Nah, their jobs will get outsourced, then they'll get fired.

brag | karma 7 | avg karma 0.88 · | 2021-08-01 01:12:23

They replace the workforce with all the eager new grads. They will continue to use employees till they burn out indefinitely

nativespecies | karma 75 | avg karma 0.97 · | 2023-01-20 15:55:08

They probably all got laid off.
