I picked a bad time to burn out on software engineering, it seems. Now nobody is hiring for any technical roles. Or rather, nobody’s interested in hiring a former SysAd/DevOps fella that’s a few years outta practice.
Whelp. Guess I’ll keep working at the Amazon Warehouse and doing DoorDash.
I can’t wait to burn this system to the god damned ground.
Until recently I was in a similar situation (IT). Had some interviews that seemed promising until I mentioned work-life balance being very important to me which immediately changed the mood of interviews (one guy actually laughed at me when I said that).
Seems like most of these companies only want people who are desperate enough to do anything. I hate that not wanting to spend every waking hour on the clock makes me “not a team player.” Like, sorry I actually want to enjoy my life outside of work, I guess lol.
Seriously. The “culture” that seems to permeate IT globally is absurdly toxic and self-loathing. Don’t want to work every waking hour “for the pride of the company”? Boo, lazy deadbeat! Want to be paid for the extra hours? Boo, greedy lazy deadbeat!
…Fuck me, why am I sitting in classes for computer science right now?
Education is still vital, we will need comrades of all practices and disciplines to help rebuild once the dust settles. Even Lenin, Stalin, Marx, Engels, Mao, Castro, Min, and almost every other socialist leader were formally educated in a capitalist system they later overthrew.
Y’know what, that’s a valid, relieving thing to point out.
Realistically its copium whenever someone says various statements along the lines of education will always have great value or whatever.
But if you have already started the course. you should finish it, because being a dropout is the worst possible scenario for you.
If you had not started the course, obviously you could avoid the debts entirely. Remember to limit the number of courses you attempt to the bare minimum and do not start courses on a whim.
What happened to nobody wants to work? Now people want to but can’t?
Nobody wants to work - for the money they’re being offered
Miserably working is better than starving to most people
Absolutely true. That’s also one of the levers the bourgeoisie use against the workers
Biden pissed me off in part of his question answering after recent elections. He said he delivered on a good job market with a low unemployment rate, which is fucking bullshit because these tech oligarchs continue to lay off workers by the hundreds and thousands.

The Fed is egging this on despite the fact that most of the inflation is currently being driven by record corporate profits. 53.9% of the increase in costs in the nonfinancial corporate sector are attributed to fatter profit margins while only 8% is because of labor costs…8%.
Haven’t heard about this breakdown of components of increase in costs. Any source?
Yes :)! It has tons of economic jargon, but maybe you’ll have a better time of understanding it fully than me.
Here’s a reading of it by the PSL.
Its working
just not for us
Dotcom bubble 2?
It’s definitely what it’s starting to look like.
