Is it just product support or are other areas of tech noticing the trend where it doesn't seem like companies want to train whatsoever. A lot of job descriptions are basically summarized as "we are fast-paced, get in here and figure it out on your own. And we expect you to be able to do so within 30 days of self paced learning". Salaries are decreasing and employer contribution is much lower. I feel this is the reason we are seeing such short tenured positions. Not a set of for success.

This is the current state of the industry thanks to all the AI cutbacks. They want you to do more with less, and for less. And if you don't like it, there's 1000 other people who would love to have your job.

So true, really sad.

Training stopped years ago. They would rather hire someone into a role than training and grow an employee. When your execs only care about the most recent quarterly financials, short term thinking like this is expected.

You're being overly altruistic. They don't want to train because it's an expense and with layoffs as the new excuse for absolutely everything, they can replace employees lacking skills they desire with a substandard severance package.

This is applicable to consulting too

It's really sad, it's like they're trying to pinch everything they can.

This has been a trend for decades. Sorry you're just now becoming aware of it. Companies have always wanted someone with a degree or certificate less than a year old or 10 years of experience doing exactly what the position is. All my professional life it's been this way. It's basically related to the fact we are paid less while production is greater and greater each year. The corporate bottom line matters more than anything else.

I recently accepted a position with a new org.

Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?

Asking advice from a recruiter: I’ve been recently laid off :( This week I took some time to reflect, talk to friends and family. I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
