I thought the U.S. economy was supposed to get better after news of Trump getting elected. Why are all these layoffs (Meta, Microsoft) in Tech happening?!? 😭😭😭

Because Trump is a felon and a con-artist cult leader.

Because the economy NEVER gets better with “conservatives” in control of anything.

They just scream it a lot and people foolishly believe it.

Numbers don’t lie. Just look up economic performance the last 60 years.

No,
It’s more like one party is setting everything on fire that would be the “conservatives” and the other is scared to haul off and beat the crap out of them for doing it after they put the fire out because 1/2 of the people forget who sets the fire in the first place.
Being the adults in the room everyone looks at the “liberal” party like they should be able to fix everything overnight.

That never works.

First of all Trump is not yet a president. Just because he has elected does not mean that he should have immediate impact on what Meta/Facebook does/Did. It could be as simple as they try to save money by hiring offshore or maybe AI got kicked in and start replace people, Who knows what are the reason behind those lay offs. One think I know for sure it's because of the saving money that's all. Free market is free market.

Because…. A: he’s not president yet; a presidency isn’t magic economic fairy dust. B: Trump can’t just tell companies to not fire people? It might be difficult to believe because all you hear on the news is that Trump is a dictator, but it just so happens that he isn’t.

Unsurprisingly, a lot of woefully uninformed opinions in this thread.

Corporate ruthlessness. Each made 50+ and 80+ billion dollars in net profits for 2024. They are going to pay more in severance + rehiring process + higher salaries and guarantees to the newer employees for those 5% they will let go based on “performance “

One of reasons I preach for employees to be only loyal to themselves and their own. Get the most out of these companies you work for, not 1 cent of discount should be given.

better for whom is the question.

I've noticed that the SWE job market is roughly similar to the levels back when I first started out. The market is challenging, and the SWE roles aren't as plentiful as during the early 20's, but it's a market correction that seems to be in line with macro trends.

Jobs are going away. The economy is getting much better but you should move away from ”just being an employee” as quickly as possible.

Why post political nonsense here. Focus should be companies , benefits, trends. People who turn everything into an opportunity to rant your political points suck and ruin platforms.

Clearly you imply a more mature, or thoughtful stance. But the original comment was not specific, did not relate to tangibles or demonstrate any particular concern. In short the thought that I childishly believe that politics has no impact is both wrong and a deflection of my point that the original comment has no place here and benefits no one.

It’s sucks

With all due respect, you naively believed the snake oil you were being sold.

Seriously....it's been 1 day that he has been in office.

Well let's see. Only one full day in office. To fix 4 years of issue.

Maybe give him a little time?

Or was this really just a Anti-Trump post and stupid? 🤔

Define better!!!
With different management styles coming in play their will be changed
Perspective of good or bad is in the eye of the beholder..

Worthless non-tech skilled middle management, not the worst to lay off. I’ve been a hands on cloud architect and cybersecurity engineer the last 8 years. I recommend those with no tech skills to acquire as many as possible.

This is what happens when you sleep through Economics 101.

Lol you actually believed him? Revisit this with the price of eggs in March

Tech industry is trying to reset salary levels. They over paid during the pandemic.

You already know the answer - let’s not play stupid

He has been in office for less than a week. you really think anything can happen that fast?
