Thread regarding Ford layoffs

It’s a good thing Ford is now a Tech company ….

Oh, wait….

Have you seen the massive number job cuts taking place right now in the tech industry?

Money manager Charlie Bilello posted a list recently, and the numbers are stunning:

Twitter is cutting 50 percent of its workforce (about 3,700 jobs).
Facebook is cutting 11,000 jobs–its largest round of layoffs ever.
Snap is cutting 20 percent of its workforce (1,200 jobs).
Shopify is cutting 10 percent of its workforce (1,000 jobs).
Netflix cut 450 jobs.
Microsoft and Salesforce are each cutting 1,000 jobs.
Robinhood is cutting 31 percent of its workforce.
Tesla is cutting 10 percent of salaried workers.
Lyft is cutting 13 percent of its workforce (700 jobs).
Redfin is cutting 13 percent of its workforce.
Coinbase is cutting 18 percent of its workforce (1,100 jobs).
Stripe is cutting 14 percent of its workforce (1,000 jobs).
And in addition to these massive cuts, Bilello says Amazon has announced a hiring freeze, Apple has paused almost all hiring, and Google is reducing new hiring by 50 percent.

But here’s the really scary part…

According to Bill Bonner, a 73-year-old ultra-successful entrepreneur whose companies employ thousands of people around the world, these layoffs are just getting started and are just the beginning.

In fact, Bonner says the next phase of this crisis is going to come from a place few people are even thinking about right now.

Bonner says what’s looming close on the horizon will catch almost everyone by surprise and could lead to some very difficult years in American history.

Every informed American should check this out.

You’re unlikely to hear this message anywhere else, and the mainstream press likely won’t report on it for many months to come, when it’s far too late.

Get the facts, and don’t get caught flat-footed. Bonner says there are 4 critical steps every American should take immediately to prepare for what’s to come.

Massive layoffs and collapsing stock prices are just the beginning.

We are in a very strange period of time in America right now, and Bonner says it’s about to get worse.

@OP. Regarding Mr. Bonner, or any "guru" predicting what is going to come, is just that: predictions. Nobody can actually predict accurately the economy during normal times, and these are not even normal times. We haven't been in this situation ever before. Therefore, save your time (and possibly money), and instead of receiving the gospel handed by these made up experts, just go old school: save money, work hard and live beneath your means.

Can’t lump Twitter in with rest of tech layoffs, as that is a unique situation - a pure housecleaning of a company that never made any money and was too bloated.

The other tech companies are doing what Ford is doing - jettisoning long time employees or those hired at over inflated prices during the pandemic and replacing them with cheaper labor ( either new grads willing to work for lower wages or contractors working at market rate but no benefits).

Same thing that has happened to me after Ford dumped me- I’ve already found work, but as contractor with decent pay (market rate a little better than I got at Ford ad career GSR). I still get calls & emails for work, but mainly contract roles….very few companies hiring direct now, except the one lead I have ( former Ford boss now works there snd put in a good word for me) is with a defense contractor that is hiring direct since defense & aerospace are going gang busters and have not shortage of money with work and orders piled up until 2025 and later….
