Just a week ago we saw the importance of human talent, and like the great technology giants, including companies of the caliber of Google, Microsoft and Amazon, they do not hesitate to hire former employees of other large companies. experience is a degreeand having passed through top-tier companies, such as Tesla, is such an important “medal” on any resume that it will directly open the doors to any of those giants.
Attracting talented workers is important, but the international economy is not at its best. Just as we were beginning to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine has broken out, a conflict that has shaped a scenario for which we were simply not prepared, and which has shown the fragile balance on which the world economy rested.
Elon Musk has already expressed concern about the future of the economy and openly confirmed his desire to reduce staff and paralyze hiring of new workers. It seems that Google and Microsoft agree with the CEO of Tesla, since both companies have decided to take important measures in this regard that will affect their workforce to a greater or lesser extent.
In the case of Google, the Mountain View company is going to slow down the pace of hiring, and Microsoft is going to cut jobs. According to the figures we have, the Redmond giant will lay off less than 1% of its workforce, currently estimated at more than 180,000 people, which is a relatively small adjustment.
The sensations that the large technology sector transmits to us in general is that right now is not a good time to invest, nor to spend money, It is a good time to save and to minimize expensesand the truth is that it is perfectly understandable seeing how inflation has skyrocketed and the problems that parity between the dollar and the euro poses right now.
We will see how the situation evolves and what changes will occur in the coming months, but we can be clear that the normalization and stabilization of the economy at an international level it will not happen while the war in Ukraine is still active. This armed conflict is not good for anyone, not even for Russia, a country that has been affected by numerous sanctions that are having a considerable impact on its economy, and on its ability to access state-of-the-art technology.
