SILENT LAYOFF  , At one point of time, a sense of fear triggers within myself too , when I  look around and witness drastic and dynamic changes in the IT landscape ever since the emergence of GEN AI ,ML,AL etc  and now it's Silent layoff 

Fear not, IT fam! The tech world's a whirlwind (AI, ML, the whole alphabet soup!), but instead of freaking out, let's fuel our curiosity!

Upskill, get certified, become a domain DOMINATOR!  Staying relevant is key, so let's stay curious and explore the possibilities.  What are YOU doing to stay ahead of the curve?

I would prefer and encourage others  to  stay observant and stay curious , as a curious mind adds fuel or its a brewing energy  to explore possibilities and opportunities. Stay relevant by being certified and upskilling.

How are you preparing yourself to cope up in future  and align your pace with trending technology ?

SILENT LAYOFF- Grapevine

I recently read an article about the growing skills gap in the tech industry. Apparently, universities just can't keep up with the lightning-fast changes in the field.

It got me wondering - how do you all stay relevant in your careers? Especially with AI taking over jobs. Are there certain skills or certifications you think are essential for staying competitive?

In the rapidly evolving tech industry, how do you keep your skills sharp? Especially in the age of AI?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I'm currently in the Junior year of my college and I've received an internship offer as a SDE from one of the respected companies(hasn't laid off anyone yet). Since 2024 is the year I graduate, I was wondering what the scenario might be according to the people senior to me. Will we be a victim to the situation as well! The terror is for real :/

Welcome to LinkedIn Cringe's Private Community

I noticed a trend on LinkedIn that people use the layoffs as an excuse to preach others that if you constantly upskill and learn then you will be safe from layoffs. 

To any freshers who believe in this crap listen this - The folks who got laid off from companies are not in any way underskilled. I've seen my colleagues get laid off at my previous company who were extremely talented and responsible for building products from scratch. 

These companies layoff people randomly and not skill based. They choose the people who are drawing more salary (often the most skilled) and fire them in the name of cost cutting. So, how does upskilling will help this situation?

Note that, the current tech market is unstable and will continue to be for next few years. Upskilling may get you up the corporate ladder but it won't in anyway save you from impending layoffs. The so-called influencers preaching this should STOP.

NOTICE this post, how this guy conveniently skipped mentioning Google layoffs in the list, since he currently works ar Google 😆

People who lecure to upskill to prevent layoffs need to stop 🛑

I swear dude, the subtle condescension is so annoying. "Don't be in your comfort zone" and shit - as if (most) people aren't already trying their best to stay up to date and keep their skills sharp. Sounds like classic victim blaming, if you ask me.

Yes there are abstract answers but can someone please clarify how to and what to do, also layoff fear is all around us. Please drop your valuable advice.

Thanks in advance.

AI will replace techies, So what to do?

Investor

I’ve been noticing a trend lately and wanted to see if anyone else feels the same. After about 10 years in the tech industry, it seems like a lot of us are shifting towards people or product management roles instead of continuing deep technical work. I get that management roles often come with perks, but it feels like we’re losing out on technical growth.

With how fast the tech space is changing and AI taking over a lot of things, it feels even more crucial to stay updated technically. Is anyone else struggling with this? Is it any different in startups versus big tech companies? How are you dealing with it? Are there ways to stay technically sharp while still advancing your career? Any decision making framework/parameter to evaluate career growth?

The Dilemma of Mid-Career Engineers

Director of Engineering

Some are reluctant to move from the position they are in, some are searching for a good one...
Some are missing out on opportunities, while the other are booming...

In this current era of upskilling... We still are thinking can I do AI or I cannot..

Let's support, motivate one another and encourage to upskill and move up...

I am as nervous about my job too - as many are! Being in services, learning new stuff and it's gets outdated too early..... but am making progress...

BEGIN TODAY - ITS NOT TOO LATE!


All The Best 👍👍👍

In this adverse ERA.....

Technical Support

Over the past two decades I have seen lay offs manifesting in various ways but the recent trend of sudden layoffs and declining empathy is disturbing.

While the decline could have its own reasons one of the best ways to deal with such curve balls is being prepared. Have a multi-purpose toolkit. 

This could possibly be a break from a monotonous life and a welcome change to go after what matters. 
To innovate and to stop suffering or struggling. 

I’m coaching the ‘how’ of building a tool kit based on natural human talents, experience could lead you onto a new path. And maintain personal wellbeing (across 7 elements) to help professionals thrive in a post pandemic multiverse. Where purpose and winning mindset help go after your dreams.

Founder

I'm a mobile app developer with 6+ years of experience. I don't have much interest in data analysis/engineering/management related fields, neither do creating ML models excite me. 

But with everything being integrated with AI/ML these days... I feel a FOMO - should I switch fields in order to remain relevant?

Should I switch to Data/AI/ML?

How to avoid layoff 2024

Data Scientist

I have been hearing from multiple friends across organizations in India. Lay offs are not in news but happening silently across boards. Companies are on cost cutting mode. Interesting year ahead

Silent layoffs happenings across organizations

Thank you for sharing this. 
  
 Was not knowing about silent layoffs happening. 
  
 But one interesting thing I have observed is that many organizations are now deliberately making the work environment more pressurised and/or toxic to reduce the headcount so that they don't need to layoff people.

Software Test - QA

I've been sensing some uncertainty at my workplace, and it's making me think about preparing for the possibility of layoffs. 

1. How does one manage uncertainty before a layoff, and what should be the mindset?

2. What practical steps do you take financially ? Any insights on budgeting? 

3. In a job transition, how do you proactively develop skills while managing work 

I would like to hear your thoughts and advice on how to be well-prepared mentally, financially, and skill-wise for possiblity of layoffs

How to prepare for a layoff ?

This is a layoff period for the entire software Industry, I would recommend to take time off, reflect and up-skill and bounce back to job market by 2024. Any recommendations on the up skill courses would be appreciated. What strategies you are applying and why?

Pause the job hunt and upskill

Hey fellow grapevine friends, let me share a hilarious tale of my recent job interview rollercoaster ride! So, picture this: I chanced upon interviewing for one those new age alternative fintech firms, feeling like a boss, acing every interview level with flying colors. The interviewers were practically showering me with positive vibes about the role and the company. I was on cloud nine!

But hold on to your seats, folks, because things took an unexpected turn. After the initial warm reception, it suddenly went colder than an iceberg. I waited eagerly for responses from the TA team, but all I got was radio silence. Not even a peep. It was like they vanished into thin air!

Now, I wasn't keen on pestering the hiring manager, but desperation got the best of me. I decided to shoot them a message, hoping for some answers. And guess what? They hit me with the most mind-boggling news ever – a hiring freeze! Can you believe it? Talk about bad timing, right? I must have brought some serious jinx along with me.

As if that wasn't enough, I then discovered something straight out of a conspiracy movie. I noticed that the TA team's LinkedIn profiles had that same little green circle, indicating they were open to work.. But wait, there's more! A bunch of ex-employees and other members of the team also had that eerie green circle. What on earth was happening here? Are they secretly communicating in some LinkedIn language that mere mortals like us don't understand?

Oh well, my friends, the job hunt can be a wild and wacky adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. But fear not, for I am armed with resilience and a great sense of humor! So, with popcorn in one hand and my resume in the other, I shall continue my quest to conquer the job market. While also finding the anomalies of the start up world. Here's to embracing the unpredictability and staying positive on this crazy journey! Cheers to the next chapter of my job hunt! 🍿🚀
