Instability in this sector is disgusting - short rant
I hate layoffs in this sector so much. I hate how people are treated like disposable parts - hired to build something and then tossed aside the moment the job is done. For most of us, the idea of a long-term relationship with a company is gone; we’re brought in for a project, we deliver, and then we’re discarded.
What makes it even worse is how arbitrary and brutal it all is. Budgets get slashed mid-project, a client decides to cut costs, and suddenly 60% of a team is gone within a week. People who’ve poured time, skill, and pride into their work are left scrambling because someone decided to save a few bucks.
It’s humiliating and enraging to be forced to accept that this is normal.
The industry has turned into a humiliation ritual, where dignity and loyalty mean nothing, and the only way to survive is to accept being treated as disposable.
