I’m looking to leverage my valuable experience in #SaaSstartup #PreSales #Leadership at a new opportunity in the field. Please let me know if you have any leads! #FediHire

14 followers · 47 posts · Server fediscience.orgWith the recent layoffs at Posit I'd really like a statement from the company, as to what their strategy will be in the next years. Will they just focus on other topics in R development or will they sooner or later scale down their R development?
Also what does the future hold for services they provide for the open source community like CRAN mirrors etc.?

Tl;dr layoffs are dangerous for the health of our global economy, companies themselves, and employees who are laid off

291 followers · 476 posts · Server federate.socialA few weeks ago, a reporter from Caijing (a Chinese language business publication) messaged me about a story on tech layoffs
We talked a bit about how Chinese tech companies are watching and following US companies, and it reminded me of the ripple effect in both directions...
So much of capitalism & business as usual is unimaginative, and layoffs are no exception, especially the role that social contagion plays

Sadly, shamefully, #DEI advocacy roles are heavily among the first #TechLayoffs cuts.
Thankfully Veni has created a no-charge, public list of underrepresented talent that have recently been laid off. https://www.diversifytech.com/hire
