Seems like something that WFH would solve without having to upend so many employee lives.

      Go check out the net jobs over last year. Reality is all that happened is the folks let go work elsewhere for better companies.

        Very anecdotal, but I’m rather skeptical of that. Where I work, we haven’t hired in more than a year despite some decent growth. Seems to be quite similar for most of my circles, very little movement and hiring gojng on. I used to get harassed by recruiters 5-10x a week on LinkedIn alone despite being employed and listed as unavailable. Now it’s more like a cold message or two a month. Maybe it’s regional or something…?

          Net 700 IT job gains in 2023 as all the positions cut did was move chairs between buildings.

            You should probably go look at what the historical numbers are for that.

            Far more than 700 people entered the IT workforce last year

                And if you’d actually go look at data from before 2023, you’ll see that’s the lowest it’s been in over a decade by well over 100k jobs.

                But yeah everything’s dandy if you just ignore reality

                  And it is easier to argue against claims no one made.
                  Data before 2023 isn’t relevant as the thread is about the Lay Offs in 2023.
                  So kindly shove your moved goal post back from whence you pulled it.
