[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the tech layoffs previously were a bit different. My family is mostly in tech. They are paid very well and assume their jobs are only temporary while their jobs have contracts. It’s a different mindset. And they easily did jump to other jobs (or had two jobs at once or overlapped). Tech layoffs are different than layoffs in other sectors. It’s different when your average 85k fed is being laid off for no reason. The cuts don’t even make sense from a financial perspective and so many will need to be rehired. [/quote] $85k doesn’t include benefits feds get that many other workers do not. The fed perks haven’t been what they used to be but many feds still have something.[/quote] There is no meaningful perk that Fed workers get that is not widespread or better at most professional jobs. Better than the Wal-Mart health plan, certainly. But other white collar jobs blow it away, esp now with higher pension contributions [/quote]
