Who will fuck up the settings, control panel, registry, etc. interfaces now? The person who keeps putting Candy Crush on the start menu like it’s their life mission?
Dude a senior manager needs to get promoted somehow
It’s probably just another layer of “quality control” that’s gone now.
There has never been a better time to switch to Mint, Pop_OS, or Bazzite.
Already on the way babayyy. Ubuntu gang here we gooooo I know, i know. There are other popular distros but I wanted to start there
Ubuntu is great for begginers, go for it
Of course we need three flavor so we don’t have a single majority and each of them have their own nuisance. Same as JavaScript libraries.
openSUSE is also pretty great, and doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
There really is a Linux for everyone.
Well, shit. Here we go again.
Is there an over/under going on for the rest of the tech sectors 's layoffs this year?
The beatings will continue until tech workers unionize.
I have no idea but I’m definitely going to say the tone of rolling big tech layoffs doesn’t stop here.
Dell just quietly laid off a bunch of people last week
I hope they lay off the world of warcraft class balancing team those fuckers have no idea what they are doing
Did they ever ?
Not really lol. Great time for m$ to get some new blood in there
pre-empting the AI non existent returns
The tech industry is about to become a total shit show. Mark my words
About to? It’s been brutal for the past 3 years.
It’s been a total shit show for quite some time now…
It is very vague and it says it is not for performance reasons. I wonder if early retirement packages are being offered too. If they are getting rid of some management layers they are looking to remove some of the higher paid staff so they can bring in younger folks who will be making less to start and also opening up opportunities for advancement. Over time those management layers get overfilled and no one below them can move up and that incentive is lost.
I used to work for a west coast tech giant. Their early retirement package was: “you are retiring now, goodbye” along with a severance just large enough to disqualify me from unemployment. At least I didn’t have to spend months pretending to look for work.
