Can't wait for windows updates to get even buggier ! Seriously though I'm building an all amd gaming rig in november and never using windows again.

I work in games. Its fucking incredible looking at my linkedin. I would say about 80% of my coworkers throughout my career are out of work right now. I started my own company because I was sick of it.

Is it a cooperative one? Or are you on the road to becoming the next shitty owner?

I started my own company because I was sick of it.

I'm genuinely curious to hear how you've found it easier to land clients than employers. In my experience, you really need a good in with a bigger firm if you're going to have any hope of launching a business. Unless your old employer is jettisoning their contracts as quickly as they jettison their staff, that can be tricky.

I want to ask what company so I can see what you're making but I imagine you don't want to doxx yourself, especially not with that username lol

Don't worry sounds like they are setting up sweat shops to keep these people busy.

Yeah, Trump’s making America great by killing white collar industries

True(ish).

and offering factory jobs

Flatly false.

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Offering. Not actually delivering. It's a key attribute of the GOP, make shit up that appeals to the lower educated and fleece the ignorant twats.

But I suppose I need to spell that out to all types.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Haha. Yeah. Stupid Republican voters.

shuffles feet through the tattered remains of all the liberal broken promises

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 2 points 12 hours ago

What's this? Someone said that one was perfect and the other was shit? My gosh!

I agree, let's say fuck it, throw our hands up and just let what happens happen.

They're both just as bad as each other.

Or some equal stupid shit.

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.

[–] drthunder@midwest.social 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Same, I got laid off recently and 12 years of experience isn't even getting me interviews at in-person jobs.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 7 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

You might be too expensive tbh... Their goal is to drive down your wage here IMHO

I am not sure if there is away out.

They did similar things in accounting and law post 2008. Looks tech is this crisis flavor of wage suppression

[–] bufalo1973@lemm.ee 2 points 35 minutes ago

The way out is creating cooperative companies where the programmers have more votes than marketing people.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

The way out is to pivot away from now-oversaturated fields.
