But there's a labour shortage, they should have no problem getting another job 'cause companies constantly complain about how they can't find employees! /s

this layoff shit is eerie. hundreds of people across industries and companies getting canned all at once, all the time, every day. my linkedin feed is full of people begging for work, more and more every day. companies who can definitely afford these people but wanna save a few extra bucks. who's gonna be left working?? what are we doing here

#something something the stock market is good so everything is fine #huge sarcasm there #and then the same people who benefit from mass layoffs will turn around and complain #about all the people looking for jobs/are unemployed/on government assistance #maybe there'd be less people in all three categories if you didn't need a third yacht #i also firmly believe unemployment numbers are artificially low #just look at how willing the news and governments are willing to buy/perpetuate that there's no recession and that the economy is fine #and that the upstanding companies can indeed not find a single person to work for them #also with how unemployment numbers are calculated #and that under employment isn't a category #it doesn't matter if you have multiple degrees and 20 years in a higher paying position with full benefits and pto #if you work multiple minimum wage jobs (because no one hires full time) and no benefits you are still considered employed #given american healthcare is tied to employment #companies are literally killing hundreds/thousands of people so rich people get richer #it's just a slow and invisible death instead of taking them all out back and shooting them #even in canada dental care is tied to employment and given the link between mouth health and heart disease #plus prescription med coverage and whatnot also being tied to employment #it's the same here #between this and pensions it's clear there is no end goal and no actual consideration for the health of the economy #it's just rich fucks looking to get richer before the house of cards collapses #eat the rich and fuck capitalism
