Many people keep on clamouring on get a job, get a job, not knowing that even the job is not guaranteed.

The CEO can wake up one day and fire your sorry áss as seen on the latest Twitter incident.

Moral Lesson:
1. Have other side hustles or investment stashed up somewhere for the rainy day.

2. If you get the opportunity to move up the ladder in a different organisation with better pay, do it.

3. Don't get overly emotionally attached to your place of work. They can off you at any time.

4. Have it in mind that you are not indispensable, shít happens.

All the big corporations are downsizing. Twitter, Amazon, Meta, Google, etc. What I detest is that it is always an industrial scale downsizing that floods the market with prospective employees with no prospects.

IT jobs always follow business cycles.

If they layoffs


They'll still employ new people to fill in those roles na


It's a win win for some people cheesy
Not in the case of Twitter. They lay off some of the best engineers in the tech space to cut costs. Almost 50% of the workforce. There's no substitute.

Elon musk may regret his decision later on
Nope, He won't. This is the CEO of 4 large firms in the US - firms that he has layed off numerous workers from. This means that it isn't his first time doing so and won't be the last. So, whatever is happening is strategic and done for a reason that he's not new to. Big companies like Twitter have no place for random decisions. Sad truth is that he will succeed.

No...they were deemed surplus. They will give multiple roles to the remaining developers

Not in all cases.

Elon said that Twitter is over staffed.

If you are working for a company that for the past 5 years has not made profit, you should not be secured in your position.

I remember the guy from unilag the robotics expert that was given a job at Twitter by its founder. I wonder what his fate is now. But I trust Naija spirit hustler can never be in one place.

Lol, I don't think that's a problem for the people that were layoff cause they can easily get jobs in any other big tech companies or small company. Having "Worked at twitter as ....." In you CV is a big deal

Yeah bur if layoffs cut across the industry, that becomes a challenge.

Not really, they will ask the existing staff to do three or four people's jobs. I used to work on one project at a time, then found myself working on 4 to 5 projects with the same demand cycle.

Sorry for the minor digression.
Announcement:
Nigerians should not allow themselves be decieved by the noise of the pro-apc posters here. While everyone knows that Peter Obi support here is organic and natural from the average user of nairaland, the APC employ people for the sole purpose of artificially amplifying the parties talking points on social media. So you have few people, creating multiple accounts and generating fake likes and attacking people who want an escape from the misrule of APC.

Don't fall for it, see the owner of nairaland complaining against these people.

Don't be decieved and make sure you sensitise others so they won't be decieved.

Some of his moderators are guilty of that. Also that thing called (I don’t think he is human).

What i keep telling people. Always have a back up plan and do not be too comfortable. Do not rest until you have a daily income hustle because monthly pay is not ideal in this time of inflation.

Unfortunately,you think everybody is looking your own political ways! Sorry to disappoint you,many like me,have nobody to vote for because people like you can't even see the future!
Who amongst those current Politicians that is a Saint or who has not chopped Nigerian Money either - as a Governor, Executive or from Legislative point of view or those who worked in the MDAs, that budgets NBillions for projects that never moved the table,yet cornered the funds and shared the Youths Future?
everything is not working- no lights to move Nigeria to Industrialization Zones, even Fridge is docile and unfrozen ,no good roads - Main Roads and innermost aare oh!
