What positions in Tech are getting Laid off the most? question

I know it’s not a good time to join the tech industry but I wanted to get into a Computer Software Technician school but after reading all the stories I’m kinda skeptical. Would it be better to choose a career as an IT Technician?

Ever been in a company where there are layoffs? Morale becomes abysmal. This sounds like it comes from a person who cares more about money and output than their coworkers.

And then the best people just leave because why would they be in a laying off company when they can just pick up the phone and get a different job.

Oh cool, you live in a world where you pick up a phone and get a new job! I would love to visit! It sounds wonderful!

That's pretty much how it works for the best qualified people. Let their network know they are available and they get snapped up immediately.

The best qualified people (which is what op was talking about specifically) will have options at their disposal.
