What CPython #layoffs Taught Me About the Real Value of #expertise : Python

The takeaway you should have from this is that you have absolutely no control over whether your employer will fire you or not, regardless of how valuable you are or how high quality your #work is. And, that attempting to convince yourself otherwise in the manner that you seem to be is probably bad for your career and mental health. You seem, like many people, to be clinging desperately to the belief that large organizations like Microsoft know what they’re doing and make difficult but sensible and well-informed decisions about who to lay off and when. They absolutely do not. I have worked at or for many large multi-billion dollar organizations, and they are all equally mediocre in almost every measurable way, excluding their ability to (sometimes) make multi billions of dollars.

While unemployment rate in Latvia is around 9%, there are some spheres that strives with lack of employees. One of such spheres are supermarkeds chains - there is significant lack of cashiers. For example Rimi has more than 300 vacancies, but Maxima - around 500. Most of the positions are in Riga as it is easier to find another work with higher salary.

Ielīmētas lapas veikalu durvju stiklos, paziņojumi pie kasēm, plakāti, izdalāmas lapiņas un mājaslapu sadaļas internetā - veidi, kādos veikali cenšas piesaistīt trūkstošos darbiniekus, ir daudzveidīgi, tomēr vakanču skaits joprojām ir iespaidīgs. Ne tikai Rīgā, bet arī daudzās citās pilsētās un novados pārdevēju nepietiek, par to liecina gan Nodarbinātības valsts aģentūras (NVA) dati, gan pašu veikalu informācija mājaslapu vakanču sadaļā. Ir veikali, kuros no 16 kasēm strādā trīs, bet neapmierinātajiem rindās stāvētājiem bieži tiek paskaidrots, ka darbinieku trūkst, piektdien vēsta laikraksts Diena.

Et encore un paradoxe letton : Fin Juillet 2015, parmi les professions où l’on constate le plus grand nombre de chômeurs de longue durée, il y avait 832 vendeurs en magasin de détail.
Pourquoi ces 832 vendeurs des commerces de détail sont-ils alors encore chômeurs de longue durée ?
Le chômage en Lettonie concerne 8,6% de la population active
fin juillet 2015. Par rapport à la fin de Juin 2015, le taux de chômage n’a pas changé. (chômeurs recensés dans la population économiquement active) .
(chiffres et article en cours de mise à jour)
selon l’Agence nationale pour l’emploi (ci-après NVA)

Ausmeņa kebabs - two years ago an entrepreneur Valters Murāns opened a kebab place in Rezekne, a city in east of Latvia. They have been working for two years now and there are seven employees in total.

tvijas iedvesmas stāstu blogā TUESI.LV publicēts video par uzņēmēju Valteru Murānu, kurš Rēzeknē atvēris « Ausmeņa kebabu ».
« Es atbraucu uz Rēzekni, nav kur kebabu uzēst, johaidī ! » smejas Valters.
Lai pašam būtu kur apēst « īstu kebabu » un arī citiem tas būtu pieejams, Valters Murāns (27) pirms diviem gadiem nolēma atvērt « Ausmeņa kebabu » Rēzeknē. Valtera kebabnīca ir vieta, kur var ne tikai garšīgi paēst un baudīt latgaļu izslavēto viesmīlību, bet arī satikties ar interesantiem cilvēkiem.

“The graph shows the job losses from the start of the employment #recession, in percentage terms aligned at maximum job losses.
For the current #employment recession, employment peaked in December 2007, and this recession is by far the worst recession since WWII in percentage terms, and 2nd worst in terms of the unemployment rate (only the early ’80s recession with a peak of 10.8 percent was worse).”
