I am looking for work and man. It is so hard to care. Despite what it means for my life and the life of my wife. Begging for the collar around my neck.

What sort of man are you looking for?

But unironically...

Tech layoffs are impacting women at a disproportionately higher rate than men, representing a possible setback for the industry’s efforts to improve its gender diversity, according to research by talent intelligence platform Eightfold AI.

The key finding: women in tech are 65% more likely than men to lose their jobs.

The research was led by Sania Khan, Eightfold’s chief economist and a former U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics senior economist. The analysis used data including the percentage of women in different roles in the industry in 2021, and the types of roles impacted by cutbacks, using probability theory to arrive at the estimate.

My prior employer actually ran diversity reviews on layoff lists to make sure the layoffs were diverse enough to defend against discrimination lawsuits.

Makes sense

That's nothing, we're firing mostly Latino women and Chinese - Latino women. Super diverse!

Yes, I'm sorry, no I'm not. The first time I heard I was latinex I heard that on NPR and I thought it referred to some people from the marble universe. But it's just the latest bucket to mean "brown people".
