Apple>over 100k employees>making new phones with a better camera and charging 1500 goybux per phoneTelegram>30 full time employees>made 1 billion in revenue in 2024This era of white collar jobs being at the top of the food chain in the working world will be a short lived era.These companies make ridiculously high profits and have no reason to reject applicants who went to a no-name school with a psychology degree.The more they hire, the better the company's performance looks on paper.Essentially, these people get paid to answer random emails about bullshit and have meetings about a project that will increase profit margins by 0.2%About 1/3 to 1/2 of the people in the management team for most corporate jobs are sort of useless and mostly do paper pushing.Unless you are working in STEM, then your office job is functionally useless. AI can replace around half of all white collar jobs.
>>61566057Youre right but I see something slightly different.>Telegram>30 employees>1 Billion in revenueThere will be those that start and run businesses, and everyone else. Im sure the first 1 person - 1 billion ARR startup is already founded. The real answer to all this is to leverage the utility of AI for yourself and build something for yourself. All large orgs trend the way youre describing. Pic related is what modern FAANG software engineers do. Rentseeking behvaiour.
>>61566752management is the one who approved the project. If one can’t understand bait/poison pills, then they shouldn’t be management.
>>61566752Pic related is what corporate MBA assholes do to otherwise fine functioning companies because of their obsession with "continuous improvement" projects as proof of your suitability for promotion.This is not "rent seeking behavior", it's retardation sitting in the C-suite, and it's not limited to software companies. Most C-suite people didn't start the business or rise through the ranks, they got hired from the outside with years of "executive experience" and lots of letters after their name. It's almost worse than hiring your own kids to run the business. Schools don't teach creativity, they teach "creativity" (like painting racing pin-strips on the side of a commie-block sky scraper and calling that new and innovative).
>>61566909well I do often read smug retarded developers talking about the lengths they go to make their code inscrutable and shitty so only they can maintain it...
>>61566057apple is a hardware company.telegram is a software company.codeNIGGERS get the rope.
>>61566752>Im sure the first 1 person - 1 billion ARR startup is already founded.doesn't the guy that made Minecraft and sold it for $4B already count?
>>61566935That's not what happened in that pic though, is it? Dude (Chick?) deliberately fucked it up to get a promotion to a different department because that kind of thing is the only avenue available for promotion.
