BT has just announced they will lose 55000 jobs, Vodaphone are cutting 10,000 jobs I suspect the Great Reset has arrived. Corbyn wanted to nationalise Open Reach which just showed what idiots politicians are. Unsurprisingly the Chairman of BT was not against the idea, of course he wasn't Open Reach is a giant white elephant. BT is stuck with a legacy infrastructure they can't get rid of they are phasing out landlines and even fibre optic will not be required for most homes in the future. The 5G rollout has been appalling but is now getting underway for most of us this means we will no longer need telephone or broadband wires hence the job cuts. Meanwhile the unions at Lloyds bank are complaining because Lloyds want to stop WFH, are they for real? Banking is one of the most vulnerable sectors it has already lost tens of thousands of jobs and this is only the start. Some people want a 4 day week plus WFH plus the right not to be contacted outside of working hours. Well guess work they will probably get what they want and more when they lose their job. I had a manager tell me his job was safe because nobody could cover his experience, he was an idiot. Most of his job was vanilla a small part of it did require knowledge and experience so we automated the vanilla and created a new job for the difficult stuff from his role and his colleagues. So is your job safe?

My job's been added to and undermined for years. Nobody particularly wants to do it anymore and there is a constant dumbing down to get recruits. Meanwhile bosses and departments act like c***s and the pay's not great. People then wonder why no one wants to do it anymore. I'm close to leaving. Nearly all my colleagues are well in their fifties. Teaching. I wish the AI bot the best of luck. I'm sure its facts will be 100% correct, just like Google, Bing and Wikipedia are always right. Can I also make a special mention to auto-correct - always so correct. Had changed its to it's and dumbing to dumming - whatever that is. Edited by ASCPFC (19 May 2023 9.40am)

I think after Covid, a lot of people began to see how susceptible their industries were to financial strains. It used to be up to around the 1970's there were still "jobs for life" in a lot of sectors. The 1980's/1990's saw people have around 3 career changes during their working life.

I think this may become the norm rather like seasonal farm work or extra staff at Christmas. Edited by Badger11 (19 May 2023 10.32am)

I miss-read this first time. I though you were referring to Al Pardew. My job's 110% safe. I work in the CPFC treatment room.

My job's safe. I'm pretty sure I'll still be doing the washing up into the foreseeable future as long as I can stand at the sink.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

No job is safe for ever. Its only if you are at the top, or near the top that you have a real sense of how a company is performing and the threats on the horizon. Even with the most stable job, a movement in the market can upset that in an instance. Covid being a brilliant example.

Maybe that’s why gas is being phased out. Nothing to do with saving the planet but to enable remote monitoring of appliances. Atm AI cannot service a boiler
