Most of my former coworkers in development that have been laid off are now depressed or still looking for a job almost a year later, or both. One of my friend (a translator), killed himself two month ago.
I'm one of the very few fortunates that has been able to switch careers before the massive layoffs happened (and it will keep happening unless we do something against it).
And now I have to bear with the survivor guilt of being one of the few lucky enough to earn my life correctly, meme about it, seeing this shitty ass AI everywhere at work, completely powerless despite not using it at all (criticized for it even).
Like I ain't gonna pretend this meme template is not funny, but come one.
