IT industry going through a rough time, 2 buddies lost their jobs, one at google smashed performance targets, still got canned.
This is that weird thing that happens with memetic desire on Wall Street. When you can’t compete on earnings, you compete on layoff gestures.

Dick measuring apparently still applies even when it is up your own poop chute.

That’s really tough. I’m sorry for your buddies man. I hope they move onto something better.
I know many people who lost their jobs after mass layoffs in IT in Fintech. It’s really sad to witness after the rapid growth in the last couple of years. I was part of the industry for almost 4 years. They ended with me going on a leave of absence for about 8 weeks. I never made my return as I was able to find a job in my actual field. I had to take a considerable pay cut but I couldn’t be happier now that I’m doing something I’m passionate about.

Great to hear mon ami, money is just a tool, it provides comfort up to a certain level, otherwise it's just headaches
