One of my daughters has a degree in software engineering. Her first job was at McKesson. Last year after a year of work, her whole division was laid off. McKesson was hiring contractors from India to do her job, and they asked the people who they were laying off to train their replacements.
My daughter then got a job in the IT division at her local school district. She got married a few weeks ago, and she thought a job at the school district would be more stable. She had co-workers who had been there over 10 years.
Well, 2 weeks before her wedding her whole department was laid off.
My other daughter has a master’s in data analytics. Most jobs are remote, and she just lost her job. She is struggling with remote work.
