Watch Me Lose My Job on TikTok
notes
the imbalance of employee and employer power continues to cycle back and forth, with technology lending its hand to both sides at different times.
lay-offs are very heart breaking and when used to merely increase profit, it can feel inhumane. these conversations felt important for society to discuss, though i feel the discussion was short lived and already we are seeing the shift back to corporate power as RTO mandates sink in, unions broken and more...
will automations and AI bring back the conversation we need to have?

summary
As tech companies continue to lay off employees, some workers are turning to social media to share their experiences, often in the form of videos. These videos range from quiet moments of reflection to emotional outbursts, and have gained significant views and attention. While some see this as a healthy way to process the experience, others caution against the potential downsides of sharing such personal information publicly. The trend reflects a generation's comfort with sharing every aspect of their lives online, blurring the lines between personal and professional.
