4,000 will not be just from layoffs

Salesforce is at the front of this shift, with CEO Marc Benioff peddling his “Agentforce” AI tool and recently touting an AI-driven cut of 4,000 “heads” from his customer support ranks. But this didn’t entail a layoff of 4,000 workers, the company said. Inside the San Francisco tech giant, there’s now a growing effort to soften AI’s job replacement blow.

Landed a job within a month of trying

The job market isn’t as bad as everyone’s been saying. Or maybe it was and it scared people off from applying, and now there are plenty of opportunities again. I don’t know for sure. What I do know is that I had several interviews lined up right away, and within a month I got a good offer. The pay’s about the same, but I get better benefits and, more importantly, the culture seems so much better than Humana. Go and apply, folks. You’ve got nothing to lose and a lot to gain.


New hires update

Well Ron , you have lied to the flock! State street is hiring contractors and you know what that means there are no internal jobs they want you to quit or get terminated so you don’t get a package. Bravo suspensions, how cheap can it get?

It's Not You, It's Your Job

Back in the day, people got laid off and then hired back. It was a worker shuffle. A new person would join while another left, but the top brass always stayed because the product wasn't going anywhere.

Today, In AI era, entire roles are being eliminated, not just individuals. The jobs are gone for good. So, if your VP is gone, the product is likely next. You'll be reassigned, and if you can't fit into a new project, you're out.

The old rules are changing. In this new market, ops teams are leaner, and real-time coding is the norm. Everyone is expected to be hands-on, so there's no room for backseat politics. New roles are constantly being created, so your ability to adapt and fit into the changing market is everything.

Don't stay in useless legacy projects. RUN. If not

Expect more layoffs ...


Empty Space Between Events

What happens between the 2nd and 15th? I believe that is when “selection meetings” begin? So that time in between? Nothing occurs?

I’m quite sure advocates have been speaking with job owners during the entire process, especially when the jobs were released.

So is the process like a shark tank? Talent Card flashes up on screen, advocate stands up and addresses the group which has your job owner in it? A bidding war erupts?

Or is this a “we will make the square peg fit in this round hole”, or a “we will fill the square hole with whatever square we can find”, or a “square holes don’t exist because all the square pegs have already been set aside”?

I’ll be ok till the end of the year, I think. I’d rather not move to H-Town as I am actively avoiding it for the time being, however it’s becoming clear the industry is centralizing there. I know…brilliant deduction.

2.5 weeks left. Unfortunately, my “open for work” will always be visible to hiring managers from now on. Loyalty is but a faint memory.


Oracle Carnage

I created a virtual environment test bench for our local office at first, to test Xstore Office in order to replace our bug testing on real hardware. It got so popular that it is now used in a global environment. Never once did I get a raise or promotion, and now they axed me entirely. Thanks Oracle.


Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to Cut 439 Jobs

Bloodbath in Oracle Development

Another day of major cuts across Oracle Database development and other groups. A lot of highly skilled, experienced people with very relevant expertise are being let go. Top performers gone. It looks like the impact is falling more heavily on senior, more experienced employees—though it’s clearly been structured carefully from a legal standpoint. Oracle is not the company it used to be. Sad.

VCF PSO....

..so when exactly would the plug be pulled for the rest of this division, as we all know there is going to be a shift to partners?
Some say end October/Start of November? What are you hearing?


Start voting for yourself!

Companies have to be competitive by relying on cheap indentured labor or outsourcing work to sweatshops. If NM don't, fall behind in the market. To see real change, elect politicians who will protect American jobs by banning H-1B visas, reducing immigration, and placing tariffs on outsourced services from cheaper countries.
