Why Companies Are No Longer Hanging on to Employees

The era of cheap money led to a lot of mergers and acquisitions, which incentivized companies large and small to bloat to increase their value to prospective buyers.

I really don’t think this is AI causing all these layoffs. It’s just a return to business fundamentals, but we’re in a period of massive inflation and it’s getting harder to be profitable.

streetcat1•9h ago
Its not the AI that causing it, but the AI race. Companies need to pay for the large capex.
general1465•9h ago
But where are they racing? If AGI happens, capitalism is over. If AGI won't happen, they just wasted massive amount of resource in chasing of a white elephant and these companies are over.

They're racing to get the ceos and investors rich enough to build survival bunkers on their private islands in time for the societal crash they caused
nis0s•3m ago
You can’t survive in survival bunkers or islands, and thinking otherwise is a pipe dream. We don’t have a true model of what this might look like, but if there’s extreme instability then wealth doesn’t serve as a safety measure—it will be a target. You need backing by governed armies to protect status and wealth, but in some proto-civilization model, there will just be warring factions with bunker busters and maybe nukes going at each other. They’ll eventually form treaties and merge into city states, repeating the same trend towards nation states and democracy. Just skip the dumb bloodshed in the middle, and settle on Nordic socialism from the get go.

Tech has been a bloodbath for past 2 years - and this is how WSJ frames layoffs, lol:

“The job market has softened in recent months, however, marking a safer environment for companies to start streamlining their workforces. “

Last 3 years, it started in late 2022.

At least the article is honest in stating why this is happening. I feel like I've seen lots of articles where the gist is "Are they laying people off because of tariffs? Maybe because of AI? We may never know!", so it's refreshing to see an article plainly state that this is for profitability.
scrubs•8h ago
And wanna know what? I'm not hanging to employers either. It works both ways sweetheart.

After working 17 years at a good company (but wanting new challenges and career advancement) I serious problems with the last two jobs. I stood on principle .. and let the chips fall accordingly.
