    So I recently interviewed for a job that I did at a competitor. I was a team leader. I was a Senior engineer. I was going up against 300+ people for a single job and I didn’t even make it to the in person interviews. That’s how hard this market is right now. I have 10 years in the industry. And I can’t find a job besides a store clerk position at a grocery store.

        AI is just a fig leaf for the outsourcing that is happening in the industry. SWEs got too fat and now they are being slaughtered by their beloved mage corps…

        Online they been told to unionized for better part of the last decade but the mocked us for it because why would they do that!!!

        Their daddy good, their daddy treat them right. They are not workers!!! They are future owners 🤡

        Should taken a hint when they were asked to use them Indian or other offshore contractors lol

        You literally transferred know how to wage slaves in India and now they are cutting you loose. GG, played urself

          This is why I make sure I only train people to an incredibly low standard. Training isn’t actually listed in my job role anyway and it ensures job security.

          Yes, training them better would be better for the company. I am aware of that, but here we are. Gotta think of myself, because they sure won’t.

            I know, king, me too. I actually told them if they want me to this sort of thing, I will need to get some sort pay bump for it/proper title.

            I am IC, why da faq would i do people with out extra coin. These clowns must have been thinking I am retarded, which I am, but I also respect my labour!

            Nothing against lower skilled and/or offshored work force but I aint training my replacement for free. I have seen this trick too many times as is.

            FUCK YOU, PAY ME
