There are still plenty of opportunities out there. Layoffs are a social contagion that do very little, if anything, for a company’s financial health. This is all about the trend and trying to “discipline” labor. But it won’t work, especially this time because the US doesn’t have decent childcare (many mother won’t return to the workforce for a year or more) and has blocked millions of immigrants who would normally have entered the country the past several years.
That wouldn’t be a problem for engineers who are good at networking or the interview song and dance, but plenty of talented engineers aren’t particularly good at those things.
The company will lose some talent, sure, but let’s not pretend this isn’t a strategic time for a layoff or pay cut.
