18 months after losing a tech job...
This is the neat part - you dont!
It’s crazy how the tech employment scene imploded at that time when the free money machine (low interest rates) dried up. I got laid off around that same time
are we all unemployed tech workers? what the fuck
also i have this feeling that unemployement numbers are... not fudged in some way necessarily but like, even the TRU metric which is way higher than "headline unemployment" is still lower now than it was in the late 90s/early 00s pre-financial crisis. the TRU has been consistently going down barring covid but everything is getting shittier and worse for everyone. But the Numbers are still able to go up in some way bc the Numbers have lost all meaning or sense of reality. "the signs of the real have been substituted for the real" - like a zombie economy doing all the things a living economy would do while completely dead, as the cells/people that constitute it are rotting away in a perma-recession
