Business Big Tech Layoffs Megathread - Techbros... we got too cocky...

Since my previous thread kinda-sorta turned into a soft megathread, and the tech layoffs will continue until morale improves, I think it's better to group them all together.

For those who want a QRD:

Just this week we've had these going on:

All in all, rough seas ahead for the techbros.

Interview are long and hard because a bad hire is worse than no hire at all.

FAGMAN interviews only work for specific places, otherwise HR-Tech-HM is fine. And if you're one of the interviewers, you simply reject any candidate whose name you cannot pronounce.

Half of my team (4 people, including my manager and myself) were Indian women, including my manager, so that's another element of it.

So you're an Indian woman and your manager is a double Indian woman. Got it.

Smaller companies are trying to be fagman for worse pay benefits and equal grind mind set. The east coast is full of this to the point good engineers are walking out mid process because why the fuck should they waste their time this way.
