Pink slips for purple hairs? Sounds like karma.
My coworker has both his boys working in trades. The 25 year old is making $180k. The 22 year old is still an apprentice and making only $140k.
Meanwhile there’s a shortfall of some 10 million workers for blue collar jobs, and 3.5 million of those are for tradesmen.
Kids today are too mentally and physically weak to do those jobs so they skeeze on mom and dad instead.

Sure beats raising a bunch of YouTube star wannabes!
Being remote does make it easier for management to justify hiring a remote foreigner to replace them, but there's more to it than just "in office vs remote". My experience working with eastern foreign engineers is that even though they speak english, there still tends to be more parasitic communication drag vs with westerners.
I suspect I'll be laid off soon for staying remote, but I'm ok with it - I plan to take some time off and enjoy some of that unemployment money I've been paying into my whole life.

Which part? This is true: Meanwhile there’s a shortfall of some 10 million workers for blue collar jobs, and 3.5 million of those are for tradesmen.
Especially in states like California.
If I was twenty years younger I'd switch over next time I get laid off.
