Well folks, its finally happening. I work for a major logistics company and just heard from the top brass that they're planning HUGE layoffs. Quite likely I'll get the axe since I'm in middle management... Who is else is screwed in the coming weeks and months?

I'm in Finance. Everything is slowly grinding to a halt. All company related travel was cancelled several days ago and is indefinitely frozen. Any day now we'll be told the office is closing, just waiting for the first employee to be diagnosed and that's that. We'll work from home but even now our clients aren't interested in so much as scheduling calls, and there is a very strange feeling in the atmosphere. I don't expect mass layoffs, because if you think about it the business world is about to fucking stop for at least a quarter, so we're really all in the same boat.

finance here. they're all preparing us to work from home, travel ban, procedures to keep (((the sick))) from getting in the building. we've been busy as fuck the past two weeks, trading floor buzzing because fixed income is going all wonky. we've been having other firms low ball our client's fixed income cuz they scared to hold the assets in their inventory without a premium. Fed lending $175B per day now on repo market, banks probably lending that money to others for subprime collateral, market still hemhorraging value. It's interesting.

Don't think we're laying anyone off any time soon, but if the fin advisor franchises start tumbling down I may start to worry.

Yep. Universities are reacting similarly, mine included. Very real possibility of shutting the entire campuses down and transferring to remote learning. And also since I'm a student employee, there go my fucking hours. Gonna be fucking pissed if it does come to that, and it looks like it might.

This is really just confirmation that we're in late stage capitalism. I hope more people realize this. It's unfortunate that it took a pandemic for the average person to notice this, though.

Capitalism goes way further than just an economic system. Concepts such as profit and competition are presented, under capitalism, as self-evident truisms that are inherent to the human condition, or 'human nature'. People might even call the profit motive, or the idea that competition is healthy, or the infallible power of the free market, 'common sense'. This is the mental and psychological hold capitalism has on the masses. This is despite the fact that profit akin to what we've seen since the 14th and 15th centuries had never persisted anywhere beforehand. Big business is a very new thing, and the endless pursuit of growth is as artificial and unnatural as it gets.

70% of this economy can not work from home. It's impossible to perform their job like that. All of these upper middle class yuppies don't realize how bad it will get.

IT Sec fag here. I work for a large non-profit that provides a mandatory service to the state I live in. I am cross trained to do everyone's job in my department, and the only person in this position. I think that gives me a lot of leverage for keeping my job, that and we don't get any money from the market.

I also have a degree in a completely unrelated field that I have 5-years of experience in. I don't want to go back to it, but I would if absolutely necessary.

Germans love socialism while others get fired:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_time

In 2009, the German government had budgeted 5.1 billion euros on the program, which replaced some of the lost income of over 1.4 million workers. The program was favorably cited in a 2009 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report, which stated that it had saved nearly 500,000 jobs during the recession
