This hit too close to home. I’m now in my second forced job change in 3 years, and honestly I’m trying to make the most of it by using this job change to move to a larger city, just like how I used my last job change for a big bump in pay and benefits. It’s been a goal to move for better resources for my special needs child, but now it’s also about ensuring more resiliencey in my finances because if the next place lays me off I’ll actually have no shortage of places to work within a 30 minute commute rather than commuting an hour like I did a year and a half ago and like I’m likely to start doing again soon. This shit makes me seriously wonder how people manage to work at places for 20 or 30 years straight
Or for the political bent, we need to make layoffs more expensive and tip the balances on mergers and acquisitions to make those far harder. Force companies to pivot to meet a competitor or die
Having a job sucks. Not having a job, and constantly being ignored or rejected does a number on my mental health too.
A company I applied for gave me a take home assignment, I said that I would only do it if they pay me. They said they would pay me. The project took me about 2.5 months. Now they have rejected me saying it is not good enough, didn’t pay me for the work I have done. It has been an all-around hell week for me. I hate being taken advantage of like that. Fuck whatever enables people or companies like this.
Bro, which company expected you to do a take home assignment that took 2.5 months? Name and shame the fuckers.
The company is called GeoStru, which is their Sales and Marketing. The offshoot of that, that is responsible for development is called Engsoft SRL. It is located in Romania.
Having a job sucks.
Not having a job wouldn’t suck if it wasn’t for the fact it usually means you also have no money.
Having no money sucks.
It would be cool beans to not have a job, but have money.
Having a job is fine. Having something that gives you purpose is actually healthy for you. But I guess it depends what you do and you need to work for someone nice. It is the mandatory part and the “squeezing every penny out of you” part that sucks most.
Also, switching jobs when it gets tedious might be a good plan. Make sure to stick around for a couple years though, or else they’ll see on your CV that you won’t stick around long enough to be worth the effort.
literally my life on most jobs, fuck capitalism
Isn’t it wonderful when your VPN client refuses to connect repeatedly until you realize you need to reboot your PC or restart the VPN service… and then go change your underwear.
Me when I badge into my office, and the reader doesn’t let me in on the first swipe.
Cool.
Post it across as many parallel subs on the fediverse as possible. Nobody will notice. It’s not like they’re connected or will stack them together based on when you post them or anything.
Oh no you noticed. Maybe I shouldn’t make this post a crosspost that literally links to original /s
It’s for people that don’t subscribe to both subs. You can always ignore the second one and scroll away.
