That’s a lot of layoffs.

So they got all that money from Uncle Sam’s CHIPS Act only to lay off 10,000 employees and make themselves “lean”. Govt funded unemployment.

    You like tech? You like wiring up and programming state-of-the-art commercial automation, access control, and cctv systems? You like to move around as well and work with your hands and tools, all on the same job? Become an electronic security technician. Been doing it for 20 years, it’s great, and always hiring, almost never firing, unless you get caught smoking meth or something.

    Nothing wrong with a more blue-collar style job.

      Similar job is power grid installation. Those are in high demand, and you get yourself a passport and you can make even more setting up transformers in weird places in the world after a few years experience.

      This sounds beyond ideal–I don’t know if you’re trolling, because I have to imagine this line of work is never in demand at all, but hoping for interviews soon, and I can’t thank you enough even if you’re joking
