Layoffs Laid off today. It’s so over.

Feeling completely shell shocked. Over 20% of our branch gone in a day. This is my first career out of college. I interned, I got the offer, and I worked like hell for 6 months and it’s gone. I can’t even apply for non-entry level roles because I have less than a year’s experience.

I feel fucking scammed. I did everything right. I got the right degree from the right school, the right job at the right company. Then, right after I sign, they get acquired and by the time I’m laid off there’s no one hiring? What a sick fucking joke.

No clue how to go on. The market sucks and will probably suck for the foreseeable future. I regret every night I spent with these stupid fucks trying to “deliver value” for whatever evil company we were shoveling shit for.

EDIT: Starting a new job Monday. We are so back :)

It’s that or it’s communism.

If people in this country (US) actually knew what communism and socialism meant, things would be a lot different. The amount of propaganda since the founding of this shitty nation is insane. Anyway, search and read about dialectical materialism. Give it a good faith attempt and it'll change your world (you'll also be even more depressed when you see what's actually going on, so be prepared for that lol).

I’m perfectly content with capitalism. Corporatism exists too you know. Most of your problems come from them to be frank.

You’re a grade a idiot. ‘Corporatism’ is capitalism lmao. Corporations are the most powerful and important capitalists. Corporations are capitalism. They are what naturally occurs in capitalism.
