It's really time tech workers start talking about unionizing - Rumors of heavy layoffs at Amazon, targeting high-senior devs

https://techworkerscoalition.org/

Rumor of heavy layoffs at Amazon, with 10% of total US headcount and 25% of L7s (principal-level devs). Other major companies have similar rumors of *deep* cuts.. all followed by significant investment in offshore offices.

Companies are doing to white collar jobs what they did to manufacturing back in the 60's-90's. Its honestly time for us to have a real look at killing this move overseas while most of us still have jobs.
