Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 weeks agoi had a “preminition” right before the pandemic that were going to start massive layoffs of tech workers soon, simply because they are earning hundreds of thousands a year, and the c-suites/ceos arnt going to let that slide.

we had a way of life they couldn’t stand. Average people doing normal work were able to afford normal lives while their company suffered under such heavy salaries. Anyone in tech should be planning now on their exit. I’m not afraid of AI, I’m afraid of executives pushing our salaries down to nothing.
I’m personally saving and investing everything I can with my tech salary now to plan for when I’m inevitably kicked to the curb, or they want to pay me minimum wage.
