    Feeling Planning Thinking

    Today, I reflected on the tough lessons learned from my time in Big Tech after being laid off recently. It’s been eye-opening to see how no one is truly safe in this industry, regardless of their position or experience. Watching others share their experiences during layoffs has been informative, yet it also feels a bit disheartening. Many stories of recovery seem to lack inspiration, making it hard to stay optimistic about the future. I’ve noticed a trend where everyone seems to want to pivot into content creation, which raises questions about the necessity of traditional roles like documentation assistants, especially with the rise of AI. The landscape is shifting rapidly, and I find myself contemplating what my next steps should be in this evolving job market.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I came across some interesting comments regarding the recent layoffs at Caterpillar (CAT) in Nashville. It seems that the signs were there for a while, as one commenter mentioned that when they returned to the office in May after working from home, there weren't enough desks or parking spaces for everyone. This situation felt like a brutal and passive-aggressive approach to the layoffs, as it hinted at the company's intentions without directly communicating them. It's disheartening to see such tactics being used in the workplace.
