    “now hiring”

    LinkedIn jobs everywhere also say they’re hiring, but you see the same jobs being listed 6 months later.

    Companies are projecting growth to try and convince investors that they’re still in the expanding phase of their growth cycle, but everyone is cutting left right and center.

    They absolutely will hire new people of course, you just have to take a huge salary cut. Less than what the current people at that company are earning.

    That’s what these jobs are advertising: “There’s work, but we need to know you’ll work for cheaper than our current new hires who we will promptly let go of. No severance, this job won’t last the year.”

      My work is “not laying anyone off”, but they sure aren’t replacing anyone who leaves and are getting aggressive with their HR meetings.

        Attrition is a stealth lay off and it mostly works because normies see no issue picking some slack for the team 🤡
