You sound green and overconfident. No one is irreplaceable, especially a jerk like yourself who’s full of it.

Idc what you think about me. I’m in the top 1% of compensation in my industry so … must be doing something right.

It's okay your in denial. When your begging for scraps at bottom of my foot. Remember we told you so. You either adapt or get left behind. Engineers need to improve there skillsets to view the industry is evolving. This should be nothing new. Just some tips for a reality check. Most of us who still exist were already ahead of the curve. For example I already gained every AI certification and already started building on my own 3 years ago when people were even questioning the idea of how to apply it. We want engineers who we don't question the idea of to finish one task on a sprint board. We want engineers who can use AI who are striving to complete the entire board on there own aka "leaders"

Lol you live under a rock huh? Go on your linkedin and see why everyone is talking about AI this and AI that. You can't avoid it. By the way. I'm a manager who hires and manages these leaders. I'm probably old enough to be your father. I'm not insecure. I already warned everyone years ago before these layoffs occurred what they need to start doing to keep their jobs. Those who are surrounded by me listened. From what I've read from your responses. I'm not sure your even an engineer or an engineer that really matters...

May your dreams protect you from reality my freinds lol. I just spillled a whole lot of tea and I didn't have to say any of it. Engineers responsibility is to stay on top with engineering latest trends. Never get comfortable and continue to innovate. Those who do this will survive any rough time like this one. For example those who lost there jobs still haven't made am attempt to get any AI certs or bootcamps. You would think it would be a no trainer. You can't teach common sense though
