       Tech layoffs are class warfare, pure and simple. They won't make the companies more profitable. The stock bump they get will be gone in a month. The aim is to create fear in workers. Class terrorism.The bosses are even saying as much. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/19/opinion/tech-layoffs-meta-amazon-silicon-valley.html"The layoffs are part of a new age of bossism, the notion that management has given up too much control and must wrest it back from employees."The precarity is the point.The bosses want you to roll over and give up. Will you?

       @ryan I'm assuming you mean working class in the modern vernacular way. The Marxist analysis would put tech workers in the working class - sell labor to live, don't own the means of production.I also know a bunch of people who make under 50k/yr who were laid off. Like all the FTE massage techs, and a bunch of FTE data center workers. Probably to be replaced with TVCs in many cases.

       @drandrewv2 I agree 100%. "The age of pacified tech workers is over", I hope.

       @apps I'm just giving Fedilab a try today and so far am enjoying it. One question, is it possible to show self-replies in a thread without increasing indent? e.g. in a 3-toot thread, all from the original poster, it'll be indented twice by post 3 when I would rather have no increase for self-replies.Without this, replies to the last post in a thread are all at the max indent level.
