I have a government job offer... I’d prefer not to take it because I like my current job in environmental work but worried about private sector layoffs.

Is it a pay cut? Do it if not

Not a pay cut, actually pays a little more

If good job and where you want to be, take it, otherwise not.

Something tells me environmental work will be hit extremely hard. People don’t care about the ocean when they are worried about their livelihood.
But if you take it you’ll be working for trump 😜

Better take it! If you end up not liking the position, you can easily move back to the private sector.

Take it. You’ll have enough free time to do the environmental stuff on the side and collect a mad pension that will never go away

Would the govt job be any safer than your current job? If same risk of getting laid off and you like the govt job better, all else being equal, then take the govt job

Hi all,

If people are getting fired from companies only.because they are on bench for more than 3 months, is it wise approach to switch with higher salary now?

Please list companies who are firing people or asking them to resign so that we get a fair idea of which company to join?

Share thoughts pls 🙏

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
