It's likely Microsoft's largest job purge since it said goodbye to 10,000 employees in 2023.

          This is why I make sure I only train people to an incredibly low standard. Training isn’t actually listed in my job role anyway and it ensures job security.

          Yes, training them better would be better for the company. I am aware of that, but here we are. Gotta think of myself, because they sure won’t.

          The way out is to pivot away from now-oversaturated fields.

          I am not sure if there is away out

          There is and has been this whole time a massive blinking sign that points to the way out and it is called “Unionize”

          The way out is creating cooperative companies where the programmers have more votes than marketing people.
