For real. How many of these same people were happy I and many others got fired for not getting vaxxed? I'd say the venn diagram is a perfect circle so fuck them womp womp
Point taken, but remember that gender is a fake concept invented by pedophile John Money in the 50s. The only correct use of gender is for Latin nouns and in some other languages.
For my entire life, outside of Spanish class, the term “gender” was a synonym for “sex”.
Only the drugged out wackos that called themselves “shemales” or “transsexuals” in the dark and smelly rim of society even considered anything else. Outside of downtown street walker sex trade parts of town and prisons you never saw them.
Now that crap has been dragged out into the light and people invent new ways to call them heroes and kiss their hairy asses. Life is worse for everyone including them, not coincidentally.
Yeah right. That’s what they say but I have two friends with “depressed” older mothers. Both are vegetables now. Oops, turned out one had Parkinson’s. The other who knows, but bottom line is neither can write their name anymore.
...and loud accordion music non-stop, mandate to wear underwear on the outside on odd-numbered days, thermostats turned way up, fresh coat of Nuoc Mam applied to keyboards at night...
Progressive millennials core foundational belief is to save the dog with a missing leg and leave the perfectly normal dog in the kill shelter to be put down. That's their answer in every situation.
And the thing is, these tech employees (i myself being one) make 150+, 200+, 250+ salaries. Do that for a few years and you should be VERY financially stable in case you suddenly lose your job.
And having big tech on your resume gets you a foot in the door to so many other places. Yes they might have to take a salary cut, down to $170k, but boo fucking hoo thats still 3x what the average american makes.
Yeah, I'm sure employers are crawling over one another trying to get some of those "must have absolute psychological security" big tech employees. Which adult daycare do you work at?
I run my own company now. I did 2 big tech companies, found out i do much better at smaller companies where people pride you on work getting done, not if you did project management work when you were an engineer or set your goals according to the 6 virtues HR lists, and during covid started my own LLC.
"these tech employees (i myself being one) make 150+, 200+, 250+ salaries. Do that for a few years and you should be VERY financially stable in case you suddenly lose your job."
That amount is low by more than a factor of 2. Stock comp has pushed mid career people like me into the $500k - $600k/yr range.
Early 40s senior software engineer here. Only ~$200k base plus a modest bonus. No equity based comp.
On the plus side, I’m not living in SV paying SV cost of living. I’m working remote up in Alaska. While not the cheapest, it’s definitely nowhere near Palo Alto COL.
Per year? That would be inflated. It really gets hard to measure past ~150 range because thats when stock becomes a bigger and bigger thing, then there are the rules on when you pay taxes or not (up front can be a huge benefit to you), etc etc etc.
When i started my own business i had 25-30% the revenue coming in. That was all i needed to maintain my living - cooking steaks, camping, an occasional vacation. Everything else was going to retirement or just being blown.
I've been in the working world since 1985. I have worked between 3 months and 8 years in a job - my overall average is 3-4 years if I were to shit out a number. Layoffs have been, on balance, more common than any other reason for my leaving a job (as opposed to getting fired, going to a better job, relocation, etc.) This experience is the same for a sizeable plurality of people my age, especially in the big ol' (home sweet home) tech industry.
These kids are likely in their 20's still, so I'll give them a partial benefit of not viewing life's experiences with a large enough scope, but I'll say that they'd better toughen the fuck up, and fast.
Thanks to Biden and the Fed, 2023-2025 is shaping up to be worse (and sharper) than the Dot-Bust, and the Dot-Bust was a fucking doozy.
The first time I was laid off, it hit me kinda hard (but nothing like this crap). I’m in my 40s now, was laid off from a remote dev job a few months back (mortgage company). I went to the kitchen, poured myself a drink, sat on my deck for a bit, then started making calls / sending emails looking for the next thing.
Another wondered whether they should "keep working super hard," asking, "Does it matter?" Their fears were spurred on by allegations that many of those who were let go had been high performers.
Seriously tell me this isn’t the Bee. They’ve independently rediscovered the layoff process like it’s a new thing.
They should spend time at my last employer. A close friend of mine dialed me in and let me listen in on the all-hands they had after their big layoff late last year (I got laid off too, he was bored, called me up and asked if I wanted to listen in, so...)
Gist of it was, the survivors were told that the only way they would be considered "safe" from a layoff (but no promises!) was to be one of the top 25% performers of their team. I watched (via LinkedIn announcements) a lot of top talent that I knew there jump ship in the weeks immediately after that.
I can only imagine one of those little Googlers losing their shit in the face of a typical all-hands meeting led by the shitbirds I used to work for...
Yeah it's utter insanity, I worked in tech I could tell stories. Bunch of weak, lazy, bullshitter cowards with chips on their shoulders and no fellowship to their fellow man.
We had this notion that the Bill Gates types had some idea what they were doing and we'd have flying cars and shit, instead we just got cameras stuck to everyone and our free speech taken away from us so we couldn't communicate how fast our society was going to shit.
Our institutions have been infiltrated by those who thought they could compete but had never been measured or tested, because those results were obviously bigoted. We have destroyed meritocracy, we have given these petulant shits a free pass to blame those who give a damn for their failures. Why should they try? Why should they sacrifice to better society? We have wiped their asses for them every step of the way.
When you replace all hard working, competent people with lazy crooks and bullshit artists you end up where we are now, with intellectuals like Scott Adams talking down to us why it was the smart move to destroy society.
It means they're idiots whose "religion" is the feeling of safety, security, and surety.
They desperately want some vague authority entity to guarantee them everything in life, so they push pro-government agendas where the government magically provides them with everything simply because they exist (healthcare, retirement, UBI, etc.)
They are generally weak, emotional, and desperate hive-behavior lemmings who only feel safe in large groups because they're subconsciously cognizant of their inability to fend for themselves.
Someone tell them they can feel psychological relief through cutting, then afterwards check their horoscope to see if it worked. Problem solved. All they needed was some simple guidance.
Basically they're demanding adult daycare. Watch some of the "day in the life" instagrams by twitter/google 20-somethings. Basically two half-hour meetings each day, with free gourmet lunch, massage chairs, etc.
As a software engineer I've come to hate Google employees so much. They are some of the best paid and most pampered workers in an already pampered industry yet all they do is complain. It's never enough!
I went to a top tech school so I can say first hand it's an amazing place to be. I'm in my early 30s making about $200k (I'm not in the Valley) and have never been unemployed longer than a week. The day I start complaining about the terrors of a layoff is the day you need to start kicking the shit out of me since I've clearly lost touch with reality.
No wonder Google isn't making money on these people.
I haven't worked with functional programming since college but it was a really cool paradigm. It may be because my introduction was via lambda calculus, but I tend to see functional programming as computational concept first where C is "what is the processor doing" first. It doesn't surprise me that Clojure self-selects for very talented people.
It helps a lot. I'd say the section I work in (firmware) swings right of the industry, but more importantly it's mostly composed of people who find the technical challenges interesting. Teams like these tend to value individual competency over "psychological safety" so I've had great working relationships with lefties.
I'm in my early 30s making about $200k (I'm not in the Valley) and have never been unemployed longer than a week.
woah, early 40s, making about that much (also not living in the valley). And in my most recent job hunt I had to reject several lowball offers (130k was the lowest) to even get that. When I was your age I was pulling about $90k, doing C and Ada work.
I'm definitely at the top of my income potential right now, perhaps a little over compensated. Some of it was luck, but I'm pretty good at what I do and played my cards wisely.
Basically I was a mid level engineer at a small but growing company ($105k + great benefits) and my position grew to senior when my boss quit. Despite being the only person who understands their (fairly complex) firmware stack they saw it fit to give me a 3% annual raise and no promotion. A large telecom company offered me a contract at $90/hr which I took, I also continued contracting with the aforementioned company at the same rate on the side. 7ish months pass and the new CTO decided it was a huge mistake to let me go. They have a few hardware projects that are direct blockers to growth and I'm the only one who needs no training to start.
Infant emotion in adult bodies. Fuck 'em all. In pioneer days these people would be dead on the trail with coyotes picking at their bones. They have no survival resilience at all. I would bet many of them can't sustain personal relationships worth a damn either, fragile egos. The guys need to man up and the girlies bitch-up and learn to serve tables.
Oh my, did their itty bitty feelings get hurt by this white supremist action by the patriarchy? Welcome to the facts of life you entitled brats. Grow up & move on. You created a hell on earth for a lot of Americans. Now go find a job sweeping floors.
That would honestly be hilarious since the faggots that got laid off probably support that type of program, or at least support/vote for the people that abuse it.
Therapy was paid for full through out covid, that’s when I fired my therapist, you guys are way late to the party! Everything they have copies of, I do too 🤔
Those of us whose livelihoods were threatened for not taking the experimental gene therapy were given no psychological safety.
I'm sick of our society catering to and being run by the weak.
For real. How many of these same people were happy I and many others got fired for not getting vaxxed? I'd say the venn diagram is a perfect circle so fuck them womp womp
Instead of giving them a safe space... they should be put through mental fatigue exercises... you know the kind they used to mentally break people.
HELL on Earth... for those who raise hell on earth.
Plus Donald Trump speeches.
...and people calling them by their real gender.

That’s what I’m talkin about
You evil son of a bitch
YOU BASTARD!
add in Baby Shark for good measure
I like baby shark, fight me.
You'd like that, wouldn't you? Sick masochist.
Can we bring back electro shock therapy? Can we electrocute a few of these f*****s?
Electro shock therapy helps people and is humane, despite that stupid move from the 70s that got all the psych hospitals shut down.
It helps people lose their memory.
only if the voltage is too high. but, for truly helpless people you have it give it a little bump in output
Yeah right. That’s what they say but I have two friends with “depressed” older mothers. Both are vegetables now. Oops, turned out one had Parkinson’s. The other who knows, but bottom line is neither can write their name anymore.
Yeah, I’d rather get the clot shot. https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/ect-dangerous-either-side-pond
Lobotomies, but I doubt there'd be much difference in the before/after results.

Yep, forced 24 hour watching of the levan polka and vibing cat video. That'll break their resolve.

Sounds something you endure when working one cube over from the office flamer during pride month.
You know individually they are weak but, when they are bundled together they are a mighty faggot.
I would normally point out your comma placement, but that would make me a giant bundle of sticks.
Weak-butt
Probably not as weak as buttgig the transportation secretary's.
He probably got the job because bidet heard that he had extensive experience with trains.

The weakness of people today repulses me. Nothing but a giant, squirming mass of slack-jawed faggots everywhere.
It's gross, and they're forever vacillating between arrogantly attacking and begging for validation. It makes me sick.
They cry out in pain as they strike you.
It's those weak soy hand bones breaking.
Good times create weak men
(We are here)
Weak men create hard times.

Eh almost. Its not nearly as bad as its gonna get

I got laid off so I learned how to lay pipe. Unvaxxed too so now I’m commanding over 7 figures.
I've been laying pipe since I was 13, but I never got paid like that. Oh well, it was never about the money.
I can believe it. Skilled tradesmen round here charge insane rates and yet are still always booked solid.
I live in rural Wyoming and also work remote.
And you’re pulling $500k?
Yeah, some years closer to 600, some years less.
You must be in a very specialized field. That's crazy money for a software engineer.
Per year? That would be inflated. It really gets hard to measure past ~150 range because thats when stock becomes a bigger and bigger thing, then there are the rules on when you pay taxes or not (up front can be a huge benefit to you), etc etc etc.
The smart ones live as if they made 80k. But most squander it on consumer goods they don't need.
When i started my own business i had 25-30% the revenue coming in. That was all i needed to maintain my living - cooking steaks, camping, an occasional vacation. Everything else was going to retirement or just being blown.
This is probably the most perfect comment i have ever seen on PDW.
Thanks, fren. Can't say I agree, but it does sum up the sorry excuses for humans I see on the daily.

This will make you a sexual tyrannosaurus rex...just like me! 🤠
No one ever knows what leftists are talking about. Their sanitary bubble is too rarified.

This bubble was at least 4x bigger than that one.
Ivory towers for hothouse flowers
What does that even mean?
It means please promise not to fire us because that would be upsetting
Upsetting leftists is good strategy. Don’t give them psychological safety Google
Their management are commies and so by definition don't give a shit about the workers.
Seriously tell me this isn’t the Bee. They’ve independently rediscovered the layoff process like it’s a new thing.
It means we have failed as a society and the people who are building our future are immature children who want that future to be a cage.

Same at other tech. Some of these soy millenials and zoomers are going to start cutting thenselves or something if they don't get their (soy) latte.

Based on your name your choice of programming language probably insulates you from weak-minded/low IQ individuals who couldn’t handle it
There is one particular language (not C) that attracts they type of people I like to work with. It's a modern take on the manliest of manly languages.
Gonna guess Rust or something functional
Rust has attracted a truly toxic group of leftists, strangely.
Definitely one of the gayest languages, judging by its developer community.
Clojure is my personal fav, being a Lisp. Hard to find jobs for it though.
Bingo. I know a few people who took a pay cut to go from a Java shop to a Clojure shop.
I haven't worked with functional programming since college but it was a really cool paradigm. It may be because my introduction was via lambda calculus, but I tend to see functional programming as computational concept first where C is "what is the processor doing" first. It doesn't surprise me that Clojure self-selects for very talented people.
It helps a lot. I'd say the section I work in (firmware) swings right of the industry, but more importantly it's mostly composed of people who find the technical challenges interesting.

I've never met a lefty firmware developer.
But..mah latest framework is better
woah, early 40s, making about that much (also not living in the valley). And in my most recent job hunt I had to reject several lowball offers (130k was the lowest) to even get that. When I was your age I was pulling about $90k, doing C and Ada work.

Learn to weld.
I don't even want any of those useless fuckers anywhere near construction or engineering.
Learn to prostitute? Learn to sell body organs?
I wouldn't take their vaxxed shit for free.
They can't handle jobs where there are consequences for being wrong.
I suggest handing out a complimentary Sting CD to all employees.I hear they are very soothing.
🎶 free, free, set them free🎶
Psychological safety? Anybody who puts those two words together with no jest should be immediately punched in the mouth for their own good.
Oh my, did their itty bitty feelings get hurt by this white supremist action by the patriarchy? Welcome to the facts of life you entitled brats. Grow up & move on. You created a hell on earth for a lot of Americans. Now go find a job sweeping floors.
I got fired and laid off a few times in my 20s. I highly recommend it to build resilience. You don't want to become like these communist libtards.
Moreover, didn't Google basically force all these dumb dumbs to get triple vaxxed? They're all going to have VAIDS soon and will be unemployable.
Almost all of them are Democrat Communists, so I'm sure they gladly took the clot shots.
I posted this before - but google could easily fire another 100,000 :
https://twitter.com/gurgavin/status/1617322068328210432?s=21
Anyone know where to find the other videos like this one for other tech companies?
I bet the main reason for over hiring and overcompensating devs at these companies is to lock up the talent to prevent upstarts from challenging them.
“I can work for you for $100k and do cool stuff, or I can sit on some grossly over staffed team at Google and do jack squat for $350k.”
What a bunch of fucking snowflakes. Melt that shit
Hahahahahaha fuck you.
Oh did the poor babies get their little feelers hurt?
I wonder if the hard times ahead for a lot of millenial lefties will move them toward being conservative....nah, they usually double down.
They'll double down... however, there may be some very hard tomes for lefties upcoming.
If we hit a far worse recession, the jobs that die out first are the more cushy ones. The office jobs and such.
It's the hard jobs that involve certain skilled labor that cannot cease to exist. They will always be in demand.
Anyone asking for that should be the next to go.
Awesome, they just helped HR make a list for the next round of lay-offs. Thank you SJWs, very cool!
Faggots
Leftists, grow up. Reality is what hurts you when you get things wrong. You got it wrong to think the world owes you anything.
That Hindu musk mfer was waiting for a reason to cut 80% of the company so he can h1 visa in the commie owned brics pact nation China india
That would honestly be hilarious since the faggots that got laid off probably support that type of program, or at least support/vote for the people that abuse it.
Grow up. Welcome to the real world.
Snowflakes!
LMAO.
Hilarious.

Heh heh, fuck the soy commies at google
