There’s a dude in wallstreetbets who dumped a $700k inheritance into Intel stocks. lol
Layoffs will make the stock go up. It's bizarre.
My experiences working for huge corporations have made it clear what an enormous percentage of corporate workers spend all their time on useless busy work, so in theory layoffs can make a corporation more profitable. The problem is that it's rarely the useless ass-kissers who get laid off.
I just started a corporate job a while ago and they still can't really tell me what I'll be doing. My onboarding plan suggests that in month 2-3 I'll be ready to get into it. Like, dude, wtf?
Just focus on the most important thing: going out drinking with the right superiors.
Ha, yes! I'm also enjoying the second most important thing: the fat paycheck
