I’d like to see the demographic information of the entire company vs those who were laid off - my organization is very heavily majority female, so of course, when layoffs happen, the percentage correlates. Perception sometimes doesn’t show the whole picture.

Half the people that say this are unhinged. I’ve seen plenty of white guys taking a year to find a job when they’re qualified. She’s seeing survivor bias and those guys probably just have a strong network


That said some companies truly are like this even when they’re qualified do have a DEI plan.

My boss at one job hired two white guys making our team of four almost all white. I’m 80% white which is pretty much white but she never actually asked about my background, so it was weird her commenting and complaining our team was four white guys when she hired two of them.

In the years before and after this she hired only white people for over a decade with one exception.

Minorities who were hired within the division but not under her were treated poorly and she would undermine them constantly even helping get a minority VP fired as her and others did all the good to sabotage them.


I don’t think she’s helping herself here and shows a lack of understanding but definitely racism is strong in a lot of companies

Got laid off last year. Demographics were as follows:
- 6 people let go: of which 5 were POCs (the other person was white and not American), 2 were female
- 12 people remained: All male, 11 of which were white male.
Just saying :-/

The majority of the population is white, and more than half of the working population is male, so shes probably right based on statistics alone.

My college says to start a business instead of looking for a job.

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

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?
