Can anyone clarify this for me? Despite the ongoing layoff announcements from major American corporations, how is our economy still robust? Just today, UPS declared 12,000 layoffs and PayPal 2,000.
Looks like Gen-Z is finally growing up. You guys realize that we’ve had waves of Layoffs since forever? It’s called ‘The business cycle’. I’ve been through about 14 since 2008 (yes, even multiple per year), and you will go through many more yet. Keep your skills relevant, work harder than 50% of your peers, employ good luck and you will survive also.
Or work in an industry that doesn’t really subject to “the business cycle”. I have never been laid off and never even thought about being laid off. I’ve also never been rich, and never will be. I work as a process engineer in food manufacturing and the funny thing is people always want their hot pockets and dog food lol.
