âCompared to your parents job market is a great job marketâ my mom bought branded new Toyota Corolla and a home in 1998 on a secretaries salary. Yeah Iâm sure itâs the same. Totally.
Your employer doesnât care about you
Company's won't train candidates, but they will complain about a skill shortage..... go figure!
Companies require more experience, more knowledge, more time from employees, but refuse to train them, refuse to give new people a chance and pay people less.
Getting a job is ridiculous.
It's a job trying to find a job.
If you have a job right now, cherish it.
As a former tech, so many tech recruiters are clueless. Years ago, I had a clueless Millennial recruiter â who was a refugee from the then-tanking banking/mortgage industry post-2008 with no tech experience or education/training whatsoever â ask me in the middle of the âinterview,â âWhatâs the difference between Java and JavaScript??â not as an interview question but because she was genuinely confused. A similarly ignorant Boomer âtech recruiterâ asked me what agile development was. Recruiters waste your time, donât need a background in what theyâre recruiting for, constantly lie about the position/employer, and are very phony. Iâm glad companies are finally getting rid of them and HR personnel (who often share similar traits).
Garbage society
Even earning 150k salary for one person is living a middle class lifestyle although comfortable. 20+ years ago could live like a king
Gotta love it. Watching a video on people struggling to find jobs, money is worth less and less, then get an ad for some frivolous meal prep service.
AI was meant to liberate us to do things we loved. But with corporate greed that wealth wonât be shared. AI is marketed to us as improving our lives - but if we donât get a share of the money the companies save - we cant enjoy the things we love. This negates the real reason for AI in the first place
I always tell my friends/ family members before they abruptly quit their job, to already have one to go to⌠I have friends that are unemployed and have hard time finding a job.
Doesnât help when companies are on this constant shift in maximising profit by reducing head counts. The closure of brick and mortar of physical stores
The answer is simple math. The value of a person (worker) diminished while the value of an influential/valuable person increased (higher barrier to become one though) has gone up.
im completely burnt out on looking for jobs its so overwhelming
As person who struggled to get a job after graduating undergrad in 2008 right into the recession. This doesn't surprise me. Too many companies are thinking of their bottom line and not the workers. And now with AI taking over, finding jobs will be even more difficult. Bet on yourself and your knowledge, that is what I'm doing.
I have a bachelors and masters. Can't imagine what that would cost today. It is silly.
So the rich keep getting richer and everyone else gets poorer? Huh, this hasn't happened before right? đ
