Will there ever be a time when we're not constantly worried about layoffs? Job security feels like a thing of the past. I'm so tired.

I think if you do your job- and you do it well- you need not worry. And even if you still get cut, you don’t have to worry long if you are a smart, valuable, go getter, or just plain not lazy. Don’t get mad about the lazy comment. It’s true- valuable people are sought after and can easily adjust to something else. Like I said before, now is the time to work a little extra, maybe give up that Saturday to position yourself in the right opportunity- do a little more now. Too many people that should not be around have somehow stuck around. Lots of nepotism and weirdness for years and years. Let’s all get back to work.
There is no true job security anymore. Companies will always prioritize shareholders over their employees and reduce the workforce in an instant if it makes sense financially. Right now is especially bad because Ai is starting to mature and get to a point that it can do the jobs traditionally reserved for a traditional employee. Ai never needs sleep or breaks and can perform it's function in perpetuity. It's not gonna last forever. This bubble will pop and a new normal will come around. The job market will adjust and new careers will open up. It's just a time of major transition.
