I’m sick of being laidoff. Got laid off again today, second time in 4 years in a big corporate layoff. Seems I can’t ever find any respite these days. No matter how hard I work or how much I put in, just bound to be laid off and even though I’ve been recognized officially through merit repeatedly, these companies here in the USA just keep laying people off And then passing all the jobs on to India for 3K a year salary…
So disheartening. At this rate I might as well just retire from White collar work and go and learn a trade as a tradesman, completely redo my entire life goals
It, Programmer, biotech all are being outsourced to h1b visas. tried entering biotech, apparently alot of those jobs always ask for “visa help” you can guaranteed theyw ill never hire you, additionally the amount experience needs to get in the industry. shouldve went on adjacent health, CLS, but apparently that is a grad school just for a certification and not a degree. i looked back on my schools yelp, and so many people were disastified with the school with thier “career development”, it does make sense why someone at my school who transferred from a cc, said she wanted to transfer away asap, the school has gotten so bad they had to cut classes because of enrollment shortage.(this isnt the only school in my area(yes its in west coast us) many other schools have suffer severe shortages of thier ":Cashcow(undergrad freshman), on low-level non-prestigious state schools, some schools are faring better, but im betting even those will suffer enrollment problems 4-10years down the line, why because the job market is very stagnant for alot of fields. and an article came out about my school, the “laid of faculty said it was birth rates issues,” i commented it was the least of thier problems, its like the last problem they should be worrying about. and said it was poor job prospects, experiences, and expensive COL, it was pretty bad before covid, and it got worst during covid. additionally trump is making all stem fields more unstable than it already is.
alot of jobs keep upping thier experience requirements, which is by design so they can make an excuse “we cant find any qualified people, so we just go cheaper”
