“The article does not mention the disruption to American families over the last 20 years.”
The middle class IT worker who was making $110k/yr and supporting a family of 4. On the job for 12 years.
Suddenly, one Friday morning the entire IT shop gets called to the auditorium and given the news.
A year later he still has not found a comparable job, he’s defaulted on his mortgage, lost a car, wife and kids moved in with Grandma.
And he can’t even get an acknowledgement on the 304 resume submissions since.
I’ve seen it dozens of times. Dozens.
Happened to me.
