August 20, 20242 yr I will say people thinking the economy is turning around are full of crap. Someone at Optum just reached out because they were let go along with tech being a train wreck. Things are bad.

Things are bad. depends on the industry you're in. we can't book deals quick enough in the construction, office equipment & medical sectors, but yeah, the tech side is suffering.

I'm not interested in anecdotes, hunches, or vibes. Reals over feels.
August 20, 20242 yr True story. When Trump won in 2016, everyone I know was fired. Over the last 4 years though, every single person that was fired was rehired at double the salary.

August 20, 20242 yr Oh no, I sure hope these ladies don't read CVON or that might switch their vote to Harris because someone called her a ho.

August 20, 20242 yr Just now, Diehardfan said: Well, real is the impact it's had on me and my of my friends. Doesn't get more real than that. I already said I'm not interested in anecdotes. We live in a country of 330M people. For every example of a struggling employee in industry X, I can provide one from industry Y that's thriving, and we'll never get anywhere.
August 20, 20242 yr Just now, sameaglesfan said: Dem party operatives? No, regular people. Blue collar mainly. The wild part is that most of their bosses told them when they were being let go that it was because there was no longer any leadership in the world.

Someone at Optum just reached out because they were let go along with tech being a train wreck. Things are bad. Here in south central PA, manufacturing is screaming for, skilled marching operators, skilled trades, and engineers. Anecdotal for sure, but my wife and I go out to eat at least once a week, and the restaurants we go to are packed. We stopped at a place outside of Hershey last Tuesday at 1400, and the place was crowded AF, we had a hard time finding a parking spot. I sarcastically said to my wife, "the economy really sucks right now, people are out drowning their sorrows in food and alcohol on a Tuesday afternoon.” Tens of thousands of people paying $14 a beer at the Phillies game. There are still plenty of problems with the economy, but it doing pretty damn good considering where Covid left us.

Job growth within the tech sector is still growing faster than other sectors. There is a huge investment going into the AI technology transition that will both help and hurt other sectors of the economy and the one ailing area is startup capital because money is expensive right now -- for all sectors but tech startups rely more on this than most. I think polling people who were recently let go might skew the results one way, possibly.

I think polling people who were recently let go might skew the results one way, possibly. You are f'ing full of crap. The people at CISCO and Intel who just got let go will tell you the same. All the devs about to lose jobs thanks to AI will say the same. I'm not polling people I'm one of them and have many friends from the Big 5 to small startups who have as well. You people can tell me I'm wrong on a lot of things and I'll usually say I'm open to being wrong, but when I'm living it I don't want to hear crap.
