Health care premiums are expensive, but even the best insurance I've ever seen was a fraction of the compensation software employees were making.

For some fields that's a huge amount of your compensation, but for software engineers it's noticeable but not going to be worth doing layoffs over by themselves.

What an absurd question. You think employers, who are laying people off and claiming AI for shareholder value, are more pressed about their large group plans than the fucking salaries that absolutely dwarf those premiums?

Some of y’all desperately need to stop huffing social media farts.

I can read the news and see things are going up sideways across the globe. You guys are extremely good at flooding the zone with shit. I am asking a question. It is easy to say we layoff people due to AI when the real reason is different. Not every company has shareholders.

You are also thinking about companies having thousands of employees and everybody seem to make millions.

How much do you think healthcare premiums are? Employers are not paying your deductible or out of pocket expenses.
