Pretty much. I recently left a horrifically toxic job in tech (security side.) Despite being a top performer a middle manager of mine hated that I asked if we could change some processes and beat me down for almost two years before I quit. I was called emotional, overreactive, “to let [manager] have his way and everything would be cool”, and so on. Pretty much considering leaving the field permanently and as you said - just look at these comments :p
Looks at article, glances at comments, yep
Please re-read my comment lmao. :p
lol no worries I get it, thanks for apologizing <3
I love how you read what I said - which wasn’t in relation to this direct article - and then strawmanned me so much I’m fucking choking on straw irl from it. Dude, take a break :p
Genuine ask - no BS or anything here. Has anyone else seen like the same three posters on this sublem bombard it with some of the most hilariously pro-Hamas biased content I’ve ever seen? Like, effectively personal blogs being passed around here as literal legitimate news being reported. It’s WILD to see in real time.
You didn’t read the article did you lol :p.
I mean, get mad over your feelings towards either Israel or Hamas, but let’s be brutally honest - there’s nothing wrong with this. You’re going on an entirely public website specifically made to network with professionals or advertise your workplace - and you post anti or pro ‘hot button topic’ statements…I mean reap what you sow?
Are you using strict privacy settings? If not, do so. I have never seen an anti Adblock notice on YT despite watching quite a lot while working / listening to podcasts etc. Never had an ad either. /shrug
Y’all…get the hell off chrome and chromium. Firefox and uBlock Origin lmao. I have no idea why so many people still use these browsers when there is a free and fantastic alternative that has been around longer than chrome has - and is more secure/privacy focused to boot.
I had so many negative interactions with my now former manager over this. We worked primarily remotely with occasional in-office days and he constantly complained normal back-and-forth communication on projects or delays by teammates on certain sections of said projects was because we weren’t “collaborating in-person.” Nah, it’s because the project wasn’t staffed properly and unclear expectations were set by bad management. Shrug, who knows if we’ll ever get rid of this nonsense
I mean, I have a chronic health issue and without recent advancements in systemic medications I’d live a horrifically painful and potentially socially isolated life. I’m thankful to be taking medications that make my life enjoyable - if for nothing else than to spend time with my dog <3
From what I’ve seen nearly every position requires university-level German or native. Definitely impossible to achieve in less than 2 years at best haha
Wut. You really have to be reading my comments in bad faith to get that take from what I’m saying. I didn’t say “AI/ML bad smash all tech.” I said it’s current deployment and iteration in our systems of economics in most of the west is not a positive thing as it stands. Make huge societal changes and economic model shifts, and I’m all for it? But at the moment, it’s likely to do far more harm than good?
Yes? It is? But are you so naïve to think that will ever happen in the near future? Does anyone see the reality of politics in the west and think this will happen in even a decades time? I’m not pessimistic as you implied in a previous comment, I’m a realist and I would love to see the supposed magic bullets referenced here work out. But, in our systems, they likely won’t? Am I taking crazy pills?
I…are you well?
I’m not even being hostile, your argument makes no sense on its face.
Logically it doesn’t even correlate to your conclusion, what???
My point wasn’t that “tech is bad” nor did I make that point anywhere in my comment. My critique was that this “tech” you seem to be a huge fan of is not going to deliver some worker’s paradise - it’s going to make the average labourer (yes that includes office workers) unemployed or severely underemployed. If employment wasn’t the determinate of our livelihoods, then sure! Great!
But, we don’t live in that world. Why is this so hard for STEM lords and tech bros to get? It’s like this delusional techno-socialist utopia that’s being envisioned without any scrap of reality lmao.
I…am questioning the sanity of this community.
If we lived in a socialist worker’s paradise, then yes relieving menial work would be fantastic.
But we don’t. None of us do. Why in the hell is advocating for a reduction of labour needs a “positive” in a work reform community when all that really means is that jobs will be lost and not replaced with little to support those that are now displaced. What the fuck lmfao
I mean it’s not surprising, it’s just hilarious that this same cycle repeats with these hyper optimists that have zero comprehension of history nor any liberal arts training and act like gods in their playgrounds. Oh well, Icarus and all that.
