It is that happy time of year: Ethics and Compliance training at tech companies. Do this training early. Don't give managers a silly reason like this to be on their radar. With pending layoffs small things like this can become enormous issues. #layoff

@elonmusk Their strategy in 2 words: MORE LAYOFFS

Interesting article titled, "The Last Paycheck in America". Very provacative read. What do you think? Is this where we are headed? Why or why not? https://t.co/ImvxX1OKcQ #AI #layoffs #tech

Can you be fired for what you say online about Charlie Kirk or other events? Yes. In these days of tech companies getting rid of employees by the thousands. Don't give them a reason. An employment lawyer explains how free speech applies to the workplace https://t.co/NMQCgunCSd

Yet another strategy to push people out: Bosses admit they’re using return-to-office mandates to trim down teams—without needing to announce layoffs. https://t.co/eFi1vbDDeD

Laid off software engineers - there’s one job you may be skipping over: #CommunityManager roles in developer ecosystems are one of the most overlooked opportunities. Sometimes the best path doesn't have the title you expect. #TechLayoffs #DevRel #techjobs

Too many companies are doing layoffs in July. More from Microsoft expected today. Very bad start to summer https://t.co/yNCXdcwNxT

Job Seekers: Beware of scammers out there. Lensa apparently is NOT a legitimate recruiting firm. They will make you pay to see a job post. Most likely collecting and selling your data. LinkedIn desperately needs a company block feature https://t.co/IwrJWITbAR

Microsoft is reportedly planning more layoffs in July, affecting 1k+ after a 6k+ layoff in May. Many workers now face a growing culture of fear and uncertainty. This isn’t the future tech should be building. People deserve better. #Microsoft #Layoffs

So much for “learn to code.”
Computer Science now has one of the highest unemployment rates.
Is tech officially dead—or just the hype?
Would you still tell a kid to major in CS?

Tech layoffs aren’t just about AI or overhiring.
A little-known tax change — Section 174 — is making it way more expensive to employ engineers in the U.S.
Microsoft and Meta are citing it as a reason for cuts.

@TechCrunch Yeah and supposedly the goal was to eliminate middle managers to eliminate unnecessary barriers between engineering and upper mgmt. How's that going?

[RIF Resumes @RIFResumes]

@sujoygolan I think it is all of the above. However, you might look at this very differently if you were one of the 7000 let go this week.

@mainbhiengineer I have seen people with 25 years with MSFT with less than 2 years to retire get this email. I magine your coming to an end like this. In a mass email. Satya should be ashamed.

[RIF Resumes @RIFResumes]

@Intrinsic_cycle @dmuthuk It is easy to justify it or say it is "just business" until it happens to you. Despite your comment I hope it does not.

@EvanKirstel I would tell any high school student today to forget a CS degree and go to trade school. Cannot replace a plumber with AI https://t.co/yV9vPhXRe5

@scott30318304 Very true! I don't think I have ever seen such a competivie job market with such qualified people looking for work.

@devrohn Sorry you did not get the job, but does not look like you were part of the 6500+ who lost their jobs this week.
