There are so many useless and incompetent people in the corporate world, and they all had a collective emperor has no clothes moment. Folks like these hate WFH because they fold under the raw and non-negotiable pressure to get work completed. They're only competent at jawboning and backstabbing their way through their career.

There's some kind of magic in lower income countries that makes them immune to remote work productivity issues

Lol they sure get angry when you take their pork and barrel away

Speaking from experience, the H1-B's generally don't go home, total headcount goes up every year, and once they naturalize they're not counted in the statistic. It this terrible tech economy, less is more

Partisan fear-mongering keeps people clicking, that's for sure

Was that ever a thing? I can't say I've ever encountered anything resembling competence in applicants who worked directly for the government. All the heavy lifting seems to be done by contractors

"Trickle down"? You must be listening to a pundit who still thinks Reagan is president.

Our economy has been slowly unraveling since 2023. If Kamala was president now the post-lockdown economic cycle wouldn't just magically disappear.

I would concede that when it looks like a downturn is coming, strong Democrats don't line up to have that on their legacy, so Republicans tend to win

I'm sure it has to so with consistently dropping purchasing power. It's hard to be excited about a job and career that is quickly headed toward median wage

Um, I get it, you're probably retired and above the fray, but us peons have been suffering for more than just this year. All the hiring in 2023 was at sweat shops, and all the hiring in 2024 was at the IRS and the bricklayers' guild Showing up at a job fair feels like when Mary Poppins showed up and swept away the competition with her personal superpower hurricane. I have 64gb already installed in my personal machine, so they can suck it, respectfully...until Microsoft unveils the Windows 13 128gb requirement

Privacy Expecting Dome Ovalers (PEDOs) rejoice

I don't know if you have a US phone number, but it's an example of how when selling something is free the cockroaches take over. 7-10 insurance scam calls a day. I remember when calls costed money. There were very few spam calls, and if you one did come in, the New York accent was enough to tip off a scam

Thats the kinda money you offer when you don't plan on paying. Condolences in advance to the families of the developers who take that offer due to their unfortunate suicide in a month or two

Truth. These fired workers will be replaced with AI (affordable Indians)

They are probably confusing ânobody noticedâ(TM) with ânobody caredâ(TM).

Yay, a new version of OS Update Simulator Extreme.

I haven't touched my existing Xbox in years because I know what's waiting for me...100 gigabyte update culture. If they make updates optional I may consider console gaming again

Governments and media love talking about openings. What about the actual hires?

Dad: There's 4 billion openings out there, just gotta go out there and get one! Now let's go over that diagram of a vulva again on LeetCode on the off chance you get to see one for real
