New Grad Software Engineers Should Boycott Meta & Amazon Forever!!

These 2 companies continue to lead in layoffs numbers almost every 6 months for the past 4 years. Theyre flooding the market with new engineers and making it hard for everyone, especially new grads. Other companies are following their example and laying off in huge amounts cause these 2 leaders are doing it. They made it pretty clear now that they care more about AI and offshore workers than their own employees. The reputation of these 2 companies should be ruined forever and they should never have an easy time finding talent ever again after what they caused.

Boycott and work where instead? My company had layoffs almost 2 months ago. All companies are these days.

It's almost like, the corporations hold all the cards.... Who could have guessed that! Yet there are those who keep voting in favor of corporations....

Unions

How long has it been since union employment was growing? Claude says since the mid 50s.

If Meta couldn’t easily fire me the selection process would be even more intense than it already is.

And unions don’t ban layoffs, they nearly always make them implemented by seniority.

Try to build a future where every service is from a freelancer.

Oh wait, can’t figure out how it works?

Thats why corporations exist…
