I find it super funny how the industry went from covid hiring freezes and layoffs -> hyper hiring during covid as companies were growing like crazy -> to now a bunch of layoffs and hiring freezes again

We didn’t layoff anyone during COVID and that worked out really well for picking up market share. Also having a brand where we are not known to layoff at the first sign of a stiff breeze makes recruiting easier.

Taking care of people isn’t that complicated but most firms have absolutely zero to desire to do it.

You realize labor cycles has been happening for like the past 50 years regardless of covid right

It’s almost as if… employees - who come on fish bowl to fight on behalf of their employers - are collateral damage to companies

Just a line item on the income statement

Something that can easily be dispensed when times are rough

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.
