The #Trump admin fired ~600 employees at #VoiceOfAmerica [#VOA], a federally funded #news network that provides #independent reporting to countries w/limited #FreePress.

The #layoffs targeted contractors, mostly #journalists but also administrative employees, & amounted to >⅓ of VOA’s staff. It signaled the Trump admin plans to continue to dismantle the broadcaster despite a COURT RULING that ORDERED the fed govt to maintain robust news programming at the network.

I feel a slight urge to immediately look for and apply to jobs. But I don’t want to do that before knowing what I really want. Where should we live? Do I need a remote role? Do I want to be a product person or strategy or something else? Game industry? SaaS? Manager or individual contributor? So I guess it’s time to sleep, read, knit/spin, binge watch, cuddle the dog, and exercise. I’ll take time to think about the answers to the questions over the next few weeks, but not yet. #layoffs

Today is my last day with computer access from my job before my official termination period begins. All I really have left to do is send a few more individual goodbyes and my mass “here’s how to keep in touch” message. And a call with someone else who also lost their job. And a virtual therapy appintment. And send back my computer by FedEx. And cancel my work phone line (paid personally and reimbursed via expenses until now) #layoffs

Getting fired by an algorithm after 25 years at Microsoft. Company loyalty means nothing. It feels more and more like big tech actually hates its employees.

#layoffs will keep increase exponentially in #US

I saw a hiring video where they said that if you wanted a job you shouldn't try to 'balance' your work with your life... 'we need people that are 'all in' with work' ... ridiculous.
another in which a farmer said he was 'ruined' because he could no longer find 'illegal' pickers that he could underpay for their work and that the few he found (legal) wanted at least the minimum wage (he was pissed)

'work' must NOT be a burden to Life.

All that AI in the code was only gonna catch up with the workforce.
