The “anonymous” survey asked this question with two choices: I agree or I’m looking for opportunities elsewhere

Nobody is saying what they are doing is illegal. And complaining is what people do to vent, you don’t have to read it.

It’s seems par the course for Amazon to just treat employees as disposable, and they’ve burned so many regions’ working populations’ proverbial bridges that I recall LTT highlighting an article saying Amazon can’t find people to employ because they’ve already cycled through everyone.

Anecdotally, I’m suddenly getting recruiters from AWS asking to interview me, and it all makes sense now. They want to replace the remote workers with new people who don’t complain. Fuck that, and fuck them if they think people should be apathetic to this strategy.

That would piss off the voting base that actually votes though

Probably the same people who use git cli instead of ide plugin equivalents

Well, don’t think their IT positions are competitive when it comes to salaries, compared to major tech companies. Also considering their offices are in Vancouver, you probably aren’t going to work their to make bank.

It’s a bit of a selection bias out of necessity…

Well run cost center departments don’t boost quarterly results, ergo they are deprioritized.

They are looking out for themselves rather then the company, because of the incentives in place.

We are living in weird times where stock price doesn’t really correspond with company health, so their actions reflect against that metric against all others.

And then you play Xcom 2 and realize that Dota 2 was meditative by comparison

They make birth control monitors and they’ve been producing a lot of false positives.

was lucky to be well off to get an education which provided a way to land a cushy SW job. Mentally stressful at times sure, but I didn’t have to take shit from somebody and worry if I could afford my next meal. And I see the same ego on the other side here, where people sneer or condescend towards min wage workers.

So many things we take for granted are just down to luck, or lack thereof.

Now I don’t know how it would feel to be wealthy. Where money ceases to be something you need to think about on a day to day basis, but I think that’s when it just becomes a status symbol, and you have to make more only because the Jones bought their 4th yacht, so of course you can’t be seen with less than that! It never ends, and that’s why I think rich-ass capitalists can never have enough, because in their mind the competition never ends and no amount is ever enough.

Unless she is has some sort of disability, you typing for her just seems like enablement.

How pathetic do you have to be to gatekeep a celebration?

Yea, what happens in SOMA fucks with me whenever i think about it.

Digitizing consciousness for use in simulations, and spun up and down in an isolated environment like they are some AWS service.

Blue pill is irrelevant. You already rich if you can convince family to buy stocks.

When you search or do any stable sort, I would think you want your primary attribute to be the one with most finite values? That way you are front loading the pruning of the search space.

So it’s actually on favor of Japanese style

windows updating the UI/UX with every new OS kills me. Wheres the ‘fuck off’ option when it asks for me to set up my personalization options and info?

I just wish they would literally and continued supporting Win 7. Everything after is just subpar from a usability perspective imo.

It’s a smart clock

fuck tipping culture. Why I never dine in anywhere, unless its a one off social event.
