I think that it’s time that we have a support group for tech workers who are any of:
– Unemployed
– Underemployed
– At-risk for losing their livelihood or
– Trapped in a tech job because of this job market
I’m thinking about getting folks together IRL to talk about our experiences, share support, and maybe figure out what resources or opportunities to get organized exist. Maybe in time this could be a combination of group therapy, access to resources, and more blue-collar Y combinator for folks looking to put their tech skills to work.
What do you think? Would anyone here find that useful?
Do people have ideas about resources that should be a part of that or organizations we should reach out to in order to have some experts offering directions for folks who are looking for them?
Some resources I’ve compiled already:
https://www.spl.org/programs-and-services/civics-and-social-services/job-resources
https://www.newtechnorthwest.com/about/
https://www.seattle.gov/economic-development/start-a-business/how-to-start-a-business
… but I could use more inspiration and/or expertise from anyone who wants to offer ideas or help get something off the ground.
