My employer has been axing so many high level engineers it's not even funny. I think that's terrible for engineer morale. Why would you want to strive to improve and get promoted if it just makes you "too expensive to keep on payroll"?
We need more tech unions and tech coops.

Guillotines we need more guillotines
We need to organize a proper rebellion before we get to guillotines and starting with unions is a place to work from.
Nah. bring out the guillotines and see how it goes.
Add this on top of federal layoffs, inflation, tariffs, higher interest rates (I know they’re necessary sometimes), etc. The average American is getting screwed right now.
