What's happening in your neck of the woods?
The company that I'm working for just announced a major layoff... shedding half it's hourly labor force by end of Jan. We're talking around 300 people in a town of less than 30,000.
https://www.resumebuilder.com/1-in-3-companies-anticipate-laying-off-30-or-more-of-workforce-in-2023/ (https://www.resumebuilder.com/1-in-3-companies-anticipate-laying-off-30-or-more-of-workforce-in-2023/)
According to media reports... about 1 in 3 companies are anticipating a layoff of 30% or more of their workforce in 2023. Start the money printing presses, we're going to need more stimulus payments.

All branches are hiring. Mechanical Engineers and Applications Engineer. Might be industry related but I'm feeling secure.

Salary/professional positions are fine... just the hourly that are affected.
Yeah, we had the same issue this year with finding the necessary labors. However, the forecast for next year isn't good, hence the layoff.

Nah, I'm good... Like I said, we had problem finding workers early this year. The company had to increase pay be 20% just to get people in the door. But now with the forecast of sales 2023 slashed in half, we're downsizing...

Supply chain shortages. Can't get components and raw materials. We all get the sh*t from the same source, China. I understand different industries require different goods but it all eventually leads back to raw materials.

Should've listened to my parents 20+ years ago. The price we pay for being rootless in our 20's.

Bingo! Our orders are biggest yet but can’t fulfilled because of raw materials.

You got to do what you got to do because at the end of the day, no one else is paying your bills.

Healthcare no layoff as long as 80% of them beds are filled up which is what is happening now.
The dynamic at tech is weird after the first layoff. Those who got saved are starting to become superworkers. You do not see them hanging out at the lunch room and you don't see people chit chatting like usual. I mean what is there to talk about? Layoff talk and the second wave of layoffs could be coming and you are next?
All of a sudden, they come to work early like they have a point to prove and hoping that big boss could spare their working lives.
Hmoobrock be making $10/hr and he survived while those who makes more are getting laid off. What a dyslexia world we are living in. Dyslexia, see what I did there? :2funny:
-
On the side note, let me show you what some tech companies are doing. So if they know that a bunch of you guys are going to get laid off right? Since we have thanksgiving and xmas and new years all around the same time, they be telling their workers to get two weeks off and burn off your PTO. In this way, when they lay you off, they do not have to pay you for any unused PTO. Sneaky Eh?
The most severance package I heard of from a volunteer quit is 2 years of pay. In California, I think they have to pay you 3 months of severance pay. It's the law. I would like to take a 2 years of pay and go work for the competition right away. Wouldn't that be nice? :2funny:

I had the hardest time finding people to fill my open positions. Had to settle for two entry levels who were willing to learn.
-
No layoffs yet but a hiring freeze. I work for one of the biggest furniture company in the US. When covid-19 hit, we didn't slow down slow down like most places. I'm in a position were they can't afford to lose me. My experience and work ethics makes me an asset. Also, all the managers knows me and they like cars too ;D

Well I was looking for sectionals and everything I wanted was 6-8 months out earlier this year. Do your job!
Joking aside, it pays to be a company asset. Despite the pros and cons, employers SHOULD be more loyal to us/them.

There's a lot of reasons for your wait. Insider info, don't pay for expensive furniture. I've seen how their made, built cheap, and your paying for brand name.

What’s a good quality sectional? Any feedback is appreciated. My last one was 3k and didn’t even last 3 years.

A lot of brands uses the building materials. Your better off buying a sectional that cost a whole lot cheaper. They're all built the sane way. One reason your paying a lot is due to the fabric and collection/style of the furniture. My company has a lot of variety for customers to choose from. Also, brands use the same fabrics but are naned differently. That's how they get you. Don't feel bad if you buy "cheap" furniture. They're all built the same. I've been in the furniture business for 10yrs. You're only paying for the name. I hope this clarifies it up for you.

Yep, we didn't slow down at all when covid hit. Actually, we were so behind on orders that each unit that left the assembly line was already sold. Could not make enough unit for customers.
However, 4th quarter of this year we started with hiring freeze for salary and now moving to layoff of hourly by 1st quarter of 2023. Investment (capital projects) sunk by half this coming year to only $2mills for the plant. We're moving more products to Mexico and building a new manufacturing plant there.
