    For a large company that hires more or less nonstop it’s not necessarily a bad sign. It’s not even that unusual if your social media doesn’t make it clear exactly where you work. If it were a small company, or the large company is hiring for my team specifically, and I didn’t know we had a position open, I would be concerned.

        Depends on the size of the company. If a company has 3000 employees in a job family, and 1% leave per year (due to retirement, personal life reasons, etc.), they need to hire more than a person every single working day just to keep the head count.

          If a company has 3000 employees it needs to be broken up into smaller operating units.

          A company like that will also have zero issue shrugging you off with 500 others without a care because they want to “pivot to AI” or some bullshit.

        That’s fair enough, they are terrible for a lot of reasons. I just wouldn’t take this as cause for particular alarm. The general and all-pervading unease of being a cog in a massive unconscious profit-maximizing metabeing is a separate but very good reason to seek a livelihood elsewhere.

      My company is hiring like mad. We’re growing very quickly. And promoting almost everyone after a year or so. A wild ride.
