With another round of mass layoff across the tech industry, are we ever going to get out of this market, and return to "normal".

It doesn’t feel like we’ll ever really return to “normal.” It kind of feels like this is the new normal. With all these layoffs happening, it’s hard not to feel anxious all the time.

Unfortunately, it harder to be financially resilient as companies are lowballing on every hiring, and cutting down on recruiting as well

This is, as they say, the new normal. I think it will continue to deteriorate until we return to a simpler life.

This is very unfortunate

It’s tough right now, and recovery will take time, but markets do shift and eventually opportunities rebound. Staying adaptable and building skills helps you navigate through the cycles.

Thank you BMO1

The tech industry is never going to be the same. Maybe we will see some improvements in the future, or more opportunities for us to pivot to, but I think we have a lot of years of a worsening situation ahead of us before we see any changes in a positive direction.

Agreed, I don't think things will improve at least in the year of 2026 and 2027

I’m beyond irritated by one of my coworkers. Just so disorganized, doesn’t show up to meetings, doesn’t reply to emails, constantly have to chase him, miss deadlines because of him. Management knows but does nothing about it. He really is a nice guy so it’s hard to hate him but I’m gonna lose it sooner or later. I’ve tried talking to him, I’ve tried escalating, putting reminders on his calendar. Nothing works. What are my options? Suck it up or leave? This is unnecessary stress for me
