No, it's not something to celebrate when people lose their jobs. However, the business realities of today mean many companies are looking to cut staff. Of course there is a whole other thread that could be started about who should and shouldn't be cut.
But...if you're a freelancer...does this latest move give you confidence in the future for where you are positioned?
If you do currently freelance, I know there is no celebration ahead. I'm merely speaking from an unemotional business viewpoint.
A lesson I learned long ago during my own freelance years in Central America...sometimes, winning is surviving. Being positioned as a network level freelancer at present would seem to me a better position to be in rather than a recently laid off staffer just starting out.
But hey, I'm just a staffer now. I'm out of the loop and curious if what I see is similar to what others see.
