Keep it low!!

If you just got hired or promoted and the company you work for just did layoffs such as Google. wait a few days to post your big celebration post out of respect for those who just got some of the worst news of their careers. It just seems like the kind thing to do. Specially to all Google Linkedin influencers!!!! I am sick of 10-15 PMs, SDEs selling FAANG courses, posting pictures of Google celebration, Googleversery etc,. How can you celebrate when your friends & colleagues are laidoff??

Layoff posts in LinkedIn

I am sure this post will get a lot of backlash but still I want to express my thoughts. I usually don’t post anything but this just cross my mind. It’s been months now and we are hearing layoffs news from big tech giants Twitter, Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft. LinkedIn is flooded with posts from the people who got laid off. These posts garnering thousands of comments from people ready to help. My question to the tech community, What are we doing for our people who are not from so called big tech companies.? How are we helping them? I am sure there are people who got laid off from other companies need greater support in getting a job. All the companies right now are focussing on getting people from the former group. I don’t have any problem with that but it’s the fact that they were already on the top 5-10% of the tech pyramid. They were getting paid better than anyone in the market for years. They got the best facilites and sure have a good financial backup and savings. Even the severance packages they get from their companies is way higher than the market standards. Moreover, they are talented minds and already have an edge over their competitors. My request to tech community is to stop being biased and help people from the latter group to get some living(Job). They are in more need of our help and support. PS: This is just my personal opinion and there is no negative context to it.
