So...I guess lots of H1-Bs will be sent packing?

Never a good idea to put a public statement for everyone in the company to read criticizing the company and C-level execs. Also, considering the track record of Elon... (calling the cave diver a pedophile when he rejected his submarine, cancelling the Tesla order for a reporter that was critical of Tesla, his Twitter antics, etc..)

Job-hopping is probably the only way to increase your wage.

Bummer about SalesForce. Was thinking about getting a certification.

Are you saying you no longer want to get a Salesforce certification because Salesforce is reducing hiring?

Salesforce is used by a lot of companies who might need your skills.

Exactly. You've just given a list of the industries that my spouse supports as a tech consultant. It's stable work and pays very, very well. People outside the industry seem to believe that Meta and Twitter are the entirely of tech. It's so much more than that.

One cardinal rule I've always heard was "If you're unhappy where you work, quit. If you can't quit, shut up" This is just like that idiot intern who started a petition at work, calling for "A more relaxed dress code"

Of course Elon has said things off the wall comments, but to circulate a letter with accusations of misconduct without proof, is as traitorous as it comes.

A very stupid thing to do.

Not a good time to be looking for a job at Wally Martski, either.

Yup. I'm still getting reached out to by recruiters. I have seen a number of posts on LinkedIn about people getting laid off but I just started a new job as a tech consultant this week. I'm sure some companies will be cutting back but it would seem that others are going to continue needing tech work (no matter how bad it gets).
