The tradeoffs of labor laws like that are lower salaries, higher unemployement (e.g., less jobs), slower economic growth, etc. The world doesn't need another Europe

EY4 is that a picture of you?

In that case this country needs an entrepreneurship law that protect business owners who are risking their capital to bring jobs to the market too. Small business owners are losing more than the employees now.

Wait what do you mean? What country?

Full time employment is also much harder to find in Europe as employers know how hard and expensive it is to let someone go (even if incompetent). Almost everyone is technically a contract worker until they are 27/28.

I agree protections would be nice and more solid contracts. But I also recognize doing that does make it harder to do hiring in general and can limit job movement and economic growth. It’s a catch 22. When the market crashes someone loses (often everyone). So you’re really just choosing who carries the burden more - employees, businesses (which will disproportionately include small and medium businesses which would collapse if they had to keep employees in a time like this), or taxpayers

It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Hi Fishes,

This is in regards with my resignation. I have resigned on 22nd March (LWD : 22 June ) on medical grounds. Since then, my hr has asked for my prescriptions and medical certificates to give me an early release.

Please help me out fishes with your advices
