Thanks for posting regularly! This detailed write-up is super appreciated.

Corporations effectively run the government.

Yes, absolutely agree.

This is the part not being reported in the news.

Many of us are simply working half as much as we did when we were remote. It’s not worth trying to impress these people. They hate us.

Lazy people with tech salaries. I have a tech salary but I’m not lazy enough to enjoy spending 80 dollars on dinner for two that would cost 35 if I drove my damn self.

You can’t get anything from Uber eats for less than $30 in my city.

$10 wouldn’t even cover ONE of the service fees.

Unfortunately it’s pocket change for them.

Meaningless wager that despite not paying off still probably taught them an enormous amount about reddit and its users.

Ah so you’re just kind of rude, cool.

By all accounts this includes most Democrats.

it’s a bad time to be looking for work in tech.

Be patient, keep your head up. Keep applying. You’ll get something soon.

Sorry you’re seeking in a down market. It happens every now and again in this industry. You’ll get through the eventually.

Most people over-index on maximizing compensation or holding on to stability. But there’s more to work than money and stability. Work is about growth, building connections, working on things you care about, being challenged and creating a legacy.

Fucking legacy? Is this a joke? Who gives a shit about what shitty products they launch for FAANG companies? I certainly don’t - not beyond keeping my resume and portfolio up to date.

Compensation and stability are the only things that matter beyond basic working conditions and a non-toxic environment.
