WOW Oracle Layoffs are intense. Entire orgs are getting blindsided. Cloud, Comms/Marketing, Engineering, Ops, Sales Directors, ICs, even SVPs - all levels. Remote and in-office. Top performers. Doesn’t matter. People with 7, 13, 18, 20+ years at Oracle… gone!! I was told-…

@veggie_eric Hi, polyglot speaking here: best way to study any language is A) 'situational' learning. The way I would explain it is that the brain connects vocabulary with situations. For example, if you always study words at your desk your brain connects the words with that situation (at…

friendly reminder that it doesn’t matter what anyone on social media thinks about the cert or degree you’re pursuing - it’ll likely get you past some HR firewalls and teach you a new thing or two and that’s all that matters

High performers. CUT. No warnings. No logic. Just gone. I’ve heard from Microsoft, Amazon, Intel insiders. Directors, architects, PMs, top sales talent. 5–20 years in. Solid reviews. Internal praise. Then… boxed out. Cold. Fast. Here’s the playbook they all said happened: --…

Didn’t get it but now I know what to expect & the person who beat me out got his degree, certs AND experience. (Do what you will with that information)

Workday is a perfect example of why Ethical AI matters :) Because who’s behind those algorithms, those machine learning models, and that historical data telling their hiring systems to toss out Black peoples applications??? 🧐🧐🧐

Wow. A federal judge just ordered Workday to hand over a full list of employers that used AI to rank job applicants and give them a job market reputation score called "HiredScore". (This is just one of many of these scores btw). Any job you applied for through an online portal…

Now can you use the ChatGPT Agent to: - download malware instead of that free software you were looking for online - accidentally leak your emails to the public - inadvertently share your private photos to social media - book a nonrefundable $10k first class flight to Europe

I've been at Google coming on 12 years, and I'm a great PM I swear, but sometimes I wonder if the biggest value I provide to Google is having friends everywhere so it's easy to skip through the bureaucracy and get stuff done at scale

Completely missing the point. Consultants are decision insurance for C-suite so they can justify things to their BOD without getting fired.

As tech layoffs surge, H-1B demand hasn’t slowed down. Microsoft just cut thousands of American workers...yet they’ve already requested 14,181 more H-1B workers this year, and it’s only Q2. If AI is the reason Americans are being let go, why are companies still asking for…

This has been around since 2022 and isn’t new. Thought it was worth pointing out since it really isn’t talked about enough. A lot of the narrative on layoffs goes to “AI taking our jobs” and not (a) slowing top line growth (b) over hiring in the pandemic (c) this tax burden

No one talks about the real reason driving the ~500k tech layoffs. Section 174 in the 2017 tax cuts turned engineer salaries from an instant tax deduction into a 5yr write off, causing billions in tax bills. It even incentivizes offshoring R&D, which has a 15yr write off! 1/4

In the interview for hiring this guy, I started with a SQL question. He said "that's a dumb question." Naturally I was taken aback by that response. "OK, let's move on then." He was in his early 40s and had a pretty old-school stats background, so I figured a barrage of tough…

@levelsio Not you as well! People repost this chart that is taken out of context every few weeks, not realizing other industries all have the same trajectory. Tech is as “dead” as finance, marketing etc. Tired of debunking this, but here we go again: blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engin…
