I’m surprised there isn’t more discussion in current politics about the scale at which businesses are offshoring work. Especially while simultaneously conducting mass layoffs. Curious on thoughts about this.

Because most accountants are fools. About 99% are all bootlickers and always say these things won’t affect them until it does.

It’s bigger now than ever… not sure if you have seen how many accounting jobs are being outsourced and sitting for CPA exams is open internationally now

No one cares about offshored auditors because we can always find a job.

They were laid off because B4 was paying higher than historically and no one was quitting. Not because of outsourcing. The model depends on 20% turnover, not the 11% we’ve been having.

And every auditor I know who has been laid off has found an equal or better replacement, so I have no problem telling it to anyone.

Who would care? The right only uses xenophobia to stir up their base, and Democrats are the party of offshoring. It's their donor class that benefits.

Working-class people must realize they have more in common with gig workers and fast-food employees than Elon and Trump.

I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Tech company lay offs….are they soon to be inevitable?!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about? Many seem to still be having a hiring push but with the button falling (IMO this is still just start we have a long way to go to bottom out) will that halt and layoffs ensue? And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

Anyone have insight to what the plan is at UpStart for example?

Do I just make something else up entirely?
