Planned changes: what were the career realities of IT in a week?
Against the background of talks about the increased speed of information dissemination, the compression of markets, the acceleration of growth and disintegration of IT projects, there are thoughts about increasing the share of chaos in the industry. It may seem that someone deliberately stirs up this whole business broth, in connection with which the so-called “Brownian movement” has intensified.
However, there were bright heads, which, whether for their own peace of mind, or for the peace of those around them, included this Brownian motion in the plan. In a plan for change. And this plan, in turn, was part of a larger plan, which, respectively, is part of an even larger plan, and so on. Enormous reductions, unexpected and rapid personnel changes and the very drawing up of the plan are also planned.
Moreover, both employers and applicants are seriously engaged in this. True, recently employers are increasingly thinking how it would be more comfortable to make reductions, and applicants, at the job search stage, are considering how to avoid possible reductions.

The fact that the factories and dormitories of Foxconn , the world's leading manufacturer of electronic components, is not all as good as the company says, has been said repeatedly. Critics have argued that it’s difficult for workers to perform monotonous duties for many hours without interruption, and the hostels provided by the company are not too different from the prison barracks.
Yes, and the suicide rate of Foxconn employees is quite high. The company responded to criticism that the living and working conditions would be improved. And now the Foxconn management has decided to start implementing a plan to optimize working conditions in their factories. The main point of this plan is the dismissal of 60 thousand people, all of them are employees of the same factory, Kyunshan (Jiangsu Province).
They plan to replace people with robots, which do not ask for anything and cost the company less than Chinese workers. In addition to Foxconn, about 600 companies are planning to automate their production.
Former McDonald's CEO Ed Rancy said in an interview with Fox Business that raising the minimum wage to $ 15 an hour will make the company think about replacing employees with robots. “It’s cheaper to buy a robotic arm for 35 thousand dollars than to hire an inept worker who will pack fries for $ 15 an hour,” he says.
Foxconn and other Taiwanese companies have already spent more than 4 billion yuan ($ 610 million) on the robotization of their factories. This money went not only to replace people on the conveyors with robots, but also to research in the field of artificial intelligence.
However, there were bright heads, which, whether for their own peace of mind, or for the peace of those around them, included this Brownian motion in the plan. In a plan for change. And this plan, in turn, was part of a larger plan, which, respectively, is part of an even larger plan, and so on. Enormous reductions, unexpected and rapid personnel changes and the very drawing up of the plan are also planned.
Moreover, both employers and applicants are seriously engaged in this. True, recently employers are increasingly thinking how it would be more comfortable to make reductions, and applicants, at the job search stage, are considering how to avoid possible reductions.
