I’m sick of being laidoff. Got laid off again today, second time in 4 years in a big corporate layoff. Seems I can’t ever find any respite these days. No matter how hard I work or how much I put in, just bound to be laid off and even though I’ve been recognized officially through merit repeatedly, these companies here in the USA just keep laying people off And then passing all the jobs on to India for 3K a year salary…

So disheartening. At this rate I might as well just retire from White collar work and go and learn a trade as a tradesman, completely redo my entire life goals

    I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m going through a similar experience. Here’s what I learned from it: Generally, the higher the risk, the higher the pay. Corpos pay more, because your job is at risk from day 1. Find a job at a small company; a mom/pop, if possible. Eventually, if enough people do this and don’t get €€ in their eyes with the higher (but much riskier) pay, the corpos will catch on and adjust their layoffs practice or die.
