Amazon to lay off 9,000 more workers after earlier cuts
I don&#x27;t know how many of you relate, but a personal level this last few years has left me quite shaken.<p>In 2021 I remember thinking how tech really proved its worth by so quickly assisting our economies through the pandemic with e-commerce, video conferencing and work from home.<p>Sure, things felt a bit crazy, but I remember thinking how lucky I was to land in tech as a career and that it was hard to see a future any time soon where the world wouldn&#x27;t value tech workers highly.<p>Skip to today and I&#x27;m honestly wondering how long I have.<p>We&#x27;ve had a massive influx of new tech talent over the last few years and now we see this dramatic turnaround in hiring which will likely make it significantly harder to get a good tech job in the near future.<p>And in addition to this we have tools like GPT potentially disrupting our careers on a timescale best viewed on the scale of months.<p>It doesn&#x27;t help that I&#x27;m going through a lot in my personal life at the moment too, but I&#x27;ve never felt so vulnerable about what the future holds.<p>I guess I should just be grateful that we had a good run while it lasted, but it&#x27;s hard to think like that when people depend on you to have things figured out.<p>Anyway, I hope everyone involved in these layoffs lands on their feet.
