I think about quitting every single day. I have too many little responsibilities running around the house in order to pull it off. Layoffs impacting us big time. Brain drain. Off shoring. 7,000 line PRs. 12 hour shift coverage. Project count tripling. Not sure how long I’ll make it before I have heart issues and become one of those late 40s guys who keels over and is forgotten by the company in 6 weeks. Stressful.

How offshoring affects you?
Leadership asks us if we have friends who are skilled looking for a change. We do. We hire those people. They do great work. They then get laid off 8 months later. Leadership then asks (the few we have…) skilled people in India if they have friends who are skilled looking for a change. They say to find the job postings for the laid off people to use verbatim for the India roles.
