I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and will start working again soon. kinda nervous since i quit stimulants and will have to raw dog the new job. i hope it's not too hard to find motivation when i start. every day i say i will brush up on my new tech stack and then i do fuck all.

I guess it depends, I've worked at USPS, FedEX and Amazon warehouse. As long as they allowed headphones I didn't mind, shifts flew by quick.

All of this while working in one of the physically most uncomfortable and unfulfilling roles possible. I have a degree with a decent grade, I have a good depth of knowledge regarding business and accounting, ask anyone from my co-workers at my work to the professors and teachers that I did not get along with and they would tell you that I am obviously intelligent, yet the only work around here is shitty fucking warehouse jobs.

Luckily he realized as I started my rant that if he got me going he was going to pay overtime (I'm a consultant) for me to tell him he's an idiot, so he interrupted with a "oh right, you were in calls all day, my bad. talk to you tomorrow".

how do you workout during your lunch? i always find i need at least an hour and 15 to get my shit done.

Non-technical middle manager, I've been tasked by upper management to monitor the number of PRs, Jira comments, and tasks completed by the devs each sprint, and to take action if any engineer appears to be underperforming (ideal metrics are 1 PR per week, 1 jira comment per week and 1 task completed per week)
How should I approach this? Should I call a meeting with each dev and address the issue of not submitting enough PRs? I'm not very technical, so I'm concerned about how to handle this without getting negative pushback from them...
I swear to God this isn't bait.
2 devs so far chewed my ass saying these metrics make no sense.
How can I explain to my manager these metrics make no sense?

I would kill every single one of you with my bare hands if it would grant me a Green Card.

My gym is about 30 seconds walk from work which helps, I keep rest periods to 60 seconds tops (this doesn't work on heavy day unfort), I do a PPL program so don't need a dozen different exercises for each body part, can get it done in 45mins.

>>103007394

Have them watch Busta Rhymes' hit single "I'm Gettin' A-rab Money"

I am working on a project, if you are a full stack developer I would love to talk to you and I would happily to offer equity in my company and cash if you were to help me. I have done the research, I understand the business, the customers, I have formed a business strategy that I am confident with, the only issue is my current partner who oversees the technical side of the project is taking far too long to complete things which should be relatively straight forward, he insists that he understands what he is doing, I have given very clear instructions, but it seems he is having trouble with the workload and implementing some of the ideas, and this rough patch has hurt his motivation I think. I think an extra pair of competent hands and some fresh eyes would be invaluable right now. I am attempting to learn the technicals to help him or develop some of it myself, but I can't do everything myself and I think it will be a while before I am sufficiently competent. Please let me know if you are able and willing to lend a hand, I will fill you in privately about our project if you provide me some form of contact, ideally on discord.

>>103007394
those metrics are arbitrary, but not high

you need to be technical to measure performance. and know if a dev is taking too long on something than they should.

those 2 devs who said they make no sense, as in they are too high, are probably low performers imo. if they mean they are arbitrary, they are correct.

how are you a manager if you can't code?

>>103007508
drop an email

I joined a startup months ago as a dev. got offered CTO soon after as the previous guy was just like your guy. rn I am heading development and turned things around, launching soon. can lend a hand on the side.

>>103007394
the metrics make no sense, maybe be more intentional on grooming and focus on making sure if possible that work is broken down such that that's the minimum.
Like what is the error they are correcting for?
I'd portray it as a way to make sure
"we are breaking down stories such that we are able to complete one in a week on that format" and encourage devs to figure out ways to break them down in grooming?
being a manager seems like hell

>>103007472
I have zero context buddy, but I can tell you that software productivity is a very complex topic so I suggest you read a book about it

Laughing my ass off at all you lazy WFH saying 1 PR 1 comment and 1 task complete per week is arbitrary and can't be used to judge underperformers
it absolutely can
us folks form the unemployed thread would be willing to complete 10 PRs 10 comments and 10 tasks per week if it meant we got the job, even if it was total bullshit for show shit made just to please middle managers

>>103007394
You work with your engineers and make them understand that it's you (together) against the managers and you figure out how to make it work.

Bosses will fuck you over for any (or no) reason. Underlings will fight like lions for you if you treat them right. Remember that.

>>103007707
I finish around 6-8 tasks per sprint and the equivalent number of PRs, how is 1 even questionable

>>103007472
you should ask your devs for feedback, not here.

in the end, a non-technical is never going to be able to accurately judge the performance. you need to get them to give you feedback on each other. or if you really need to, get them to agree on a number of points for each task or something.

Why are you higher tier teams so mean?

I just found out that my advisor wrongly suggested that I was finished with some of the requirements and I'll have to finish school next fall instead of this semester (I go to a very small school). I accepted a return offer at a pretty large FAANG company with a start date in May. I'm kind of panicking right now and I have no clue what to do. My hands are genuinely shaking and I feel like throwing up.

Yeah the US is a completely dysfunctional shithole of a sinking ship but at least I get more money to spend on goyslop

>>103008209
if you got the offer then who cares?
also I'm laughing at your suffering

>>103006737
I am a turbosperg and I can see why people enjoy it. They rarely have to do anything, they just talk, and talk, and take notes, and talk more.
Me? I have to sit down, think things through, and fight the spirits of the computer.

I am not saying I want to be a manager, I would kill myself if I had to attend that many meetings. But dumb people who get LE LONELY if they don't talk will find it much easier, because they are literally wired for that.

>>103008242

Fucking man up and talk to your dipshit advisor, retard. The fuck do you think tumblrposting on 4chan is going to do?

I am constantly underperforming. I take forever to do my tickets. I'm trying so hard to keep up, but I'm too retarded. Actually last sprint was the first sprint I ever completed all my tickets on time.
I'm on 2 different projects, and I'm struggling so hard with switching between the 2 especially since one of them has me doing things I have never done before.
I don't even know what questions I need to ask most of the time. And when I do ask I feel like my lead dev is too technical. I end up asking another junior who recently had to do similar tickets for help and that actually helps a lot more. Usually I just end up staring at other repos and asking chatgpt to explain concepts to me.
It's over for me. I can see it in the quality of my work too. I just start rushing shit out so I can complete it on time. I'm stressing out so bad.

>>103008414

Wtf? I make 65k/year and I'm far from being "rich". And it's Portugal by the way, pretty much the cheapest country in Europe. With 60k/year you can barely afford a fucking T1, not to mention you will never buy a house because it is almost impossible nowadays.
That's pretty much the reason I'm trying to relocate to the US. Salary in Europe sucks massive cocks.
By the way, any eurocuck here who moved to the US to work? Was it too hard to get a job? How "hard" is the job compared to Europe?

I just started around 4 months ago. The first couple months I actually almost quit, but I stuck with it because I had nothing else.
I was starting to kind of get used to it and I finally met my deadline for once last sprint, but now it's just back to not knowing shit and being thrown in to the fire.
I already mentioned I need more guidance to my scum master/manager and lead devs, but no one really has time to help me except the other junior I mentioned and I think he's also stressing out. I don't wanna bother him too much either, so I usually just type my questions in the team chat, but I honestly don't understand wtf they're saying.
And a lot of times it seems that I'm actually supposed to be doing something else and my tickets need to be adjusted, but I don't know how I'm supposed to know that initially especially when I am doing stuff I've never done before.

>>103008630
The best way to transfer is to get an L1 visa and have the company apply for a Green Card the moment you get transferred. Portugal and Spain should have a lot of USA multinational due to their position. Going there with the H1B visa is nearly impossible.

I have off Wednesdays and she’s coming over for lunch and to see my apartment. I didn’t talk to her out of stripping but we did talk about that. We also made out but no sex yet and she didn’t use me for betabux. We literally hung out all day yesterday and nothing of that sort came up. I genuinely think she likes me bros

I knew this is being tracked to measure developer "performance". With this system the rational dev is incentivized to write slop code as fast as possible and to accrue technical debt (not my problem). Also it is best to slow down your peers as much as possible by withholding information, giving wrong information and being extremely pedantic in code reviews and requesting changes multiple times, boosting your performance relative to them. It's absolute bullshit but the incentive alignments are completely messed up on every level of the company.

>>103013187
rational devs are already managers, also, while bruteforcing works to some degree it is better to gather allies and convince others to gang up on the weak in a stack ranking environment. Also, this is probably expected by mgms and part of the unwritten requirements what does 'senior' mean in your title

I've been slowly pushed towards this kind of job even if I always stated that I don't want it. Now here I am, still managing my team long after the old colleagues/bosses have left the department.
The only thing that's different now is that I enjoy ruining the days of non-technical people in the corporation. It gets me hard knowing that paper shufflers are forced to interact with me and my blunt takes. They hate it. The more blunt and direct I am, the harder their job is, because their whole existence depends on stuff moving very slowly. Calling them out on their bullshit is also something that I enjoy a lot, they never seem to expect it and there is nothing they can do about it. All they can do is to lower their heads, to stop using their laptop cameras during the next meetings and to lower their tone with me during further meetings.
All these things are happening from my home. It's a decent life if you need a lot of money, not very spiritually fulfilling, but definitely worth it if you get high on power-tripping on retards whose lives depend on bullshitting their way out of anything and on passing responsibility to others.

You forgot that the europoor is taxed around 75%, has to wait months for a doctor's appointment with the great "free" healthcare (or just pay up from his own pocket kek) and will likely get stabbed by a brown person during the train commute (that is 50 minutes late).
Oh and if he lives in a city where there actually is a job that pays 60k, he also will pay like 20k in rent (of the 30k net income that is left).

- high COL cities with shared cuckboxes
- either a 1 hour train ride or a 1 hour commute
- either long waitlists in public healthcare or extortionate private healthcare costs (yes, both of you)
- no privacy, and the government up your ass

euromoors also have:
- sales tax on top of everything
- no AC, and less space to live in

I have been to the doctor many times and if the physical examination shows there might be something that needs more than just rest and OTC painkillers, I've always gotten more in-depth examinations issued.

What, you WANT stronger drugs and more hassle for something that goes away with some rest/time? You know that less medication (especially stronger painkillers) the better right? You're not supposed to pop pills if you can avoid it.
Sounds to me like you had a RSI, the doctor ruled out anything more serious with a physical, and you got mad because you expected to get strong painkillers instead of getting told to deal with it for a while until it goes away.

You can see the effect of over-medicating in the US, everyone there is on Ritalin, SSRIs, stimulants, and/or something else (often multiple at the same time) because doctors give them out like candy which easily creates addictions.

any remote position you see on linkedin or indeed gets applied for by about a hundred people who could probably do the job, probably a few hundred unqualified people, and a few thousand indian or web scraper AI bot sent trash applications. any job where applying is easy as pressing a couple of buttons may as well not be appliable to at all, because in the end the hiring people will be looking over half of linkedin to find their man

any on-site or hybrid position has probably 1/5th or 1/10th of these numbers. except the indian-based and web scraper applications. those remain a constant. the job being on-site in texas is no deterrent for a man living in india.

to answer your question: it might help to get really creative around what jobs you apply for, ie. look for places that aren't even explicitly hiring, or their hiring portal is essentially hidden from scrapers. that's how i got my job. either that or just become a spammer like many others and go for the "0.01% chance times million" strat.

>I'm tired of all of the humiliation rituals, I just want to work
the bad news is that the humiliation rituals are still on the menu for the foreseeable future. however i think there will eventually be some kind of regulated system to handle hiring, that allows individual merit to shine a bit more and allows spam to shine a lot less. companies feel just fine humiliating, ghosting and what have you with applicants, but they themselves feel the sting of the system they've created and actually can't efficiently find good help anymore because of all the spam and the application optimization (lying, gaming)

>>103014388
The real question is, why does it cost $50,000 to fix a broken leg?
It might take a doctor 1 to 2 hours at most. At a really high pay of $100/hour (how much do YOU get paid per hour?) this would only be $200.
How much does the bandaging cost? $10 retail price, cheaper if bought in bulk?
Where do the other $49,790 go??

How do you deal with depression with corporate life? If I were unemployed I'd probably be the same way but even worse since I don't have money.

At the same time dealing with a shrink just seems unproductive. Maybe meds but they won't make me me anymore. Like there's a sense of comfort that whatever I'm feeling now is pure. It may be pure sadness or pure anger but at least it's mine.

>at least u pay 50 cents less for 12 eggs
do you know the difference between 50 cents and 50%?

again, i am not defending germany, i am telling you your shithole is expensive and dangerous, while other shitholes around the world are cheap and dangerous. stop defending the undefendable, both the US and europe suck massive dick and are infested with niggers.

>a remote job implies it does not discriminate your paycheck based on the location, right on the money literally and figuratively
also for some "100%" remote jobs you have to come to the office location once or twice a year.

to be honest as a euro, i saw a lot of inherent value in being european in terms of the social security and better societal cohesion, but nowadays, at least in my country, the government is dead set on being like the US in every regard except having the money, the resources or the opportunities. i have some schizo theories how this will pan out in the next decade
>recession in both america and europe
>european countries do what they do best, which is refusing to accept what is happening and trying to regulate out of it like "as per new law, we are no longer in a recession" which just makes the economy more retarded
>try to import more workforce to make up for the aging populace, but no one ambitious wants to live in europe anymore so they just get people who are either incompetent or want to coast
>economy flounders even more
meanwhile
>the US recovers from the recession on account of actually being somewhat competent at handling them, and due to good resources, industry, etc.
>sees europe with a massive number of young professionals who are fed up with their retarded gerontocratic governments
>takes a huge number of them in
>europe's economy shits itself even more because of loss of labor force, which means more retarded moves by the government, which means more ill-advised immigration, which means more emigration to the states
>feedback loop until europe is a desolate labor camp to keep old people alive, and the US is becomes the least shit country to live on earth

>>103014885
yeah I guess. I left my last job because I was the only retard doing work while my coworkers were just on insta but I just wish I had the drive or direction to get my projects done. At my point my brain's like "it's not on my table so I don't give a fuck" but then my boss acts like it's my fucking problem if I don't get it done and I'm fucking like what's the motherfucking point, this fucking team doesn't even want to cooperate.

>>103014892
there is no such thing as a european, you can be swiss, french, german whatever, there is very little common between them. The EU is probably the most corrupted governing body and they hate the single most important thing there is: people having the freedom to do as they wish

This, it’s usually hard to fire individual fulltime employees and has a ton of bureaucracy involved unless you do something for cause like not show up or if it’s layoff time.

Im pretty sure you have to fuckup like five times at my company after multiple written warnings and theyre having trouble getting rid of useless devs in other teams

>>103014911
there is a lot of commonality in how euro countries handle their economies, their demographics, and so on. every eu country has a growing population of old people and no plan how to handle that aside from "muh immigration" and "make young people work harder", even if there are no actual jobs because these countries have accidentally optimized themselves out of being useful to anyone else. in the end, the reigning sentiment among the leaders in these countries is confusion and indifference, like they don't know what the fuck they're doing, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.

the US is pretty similar to europe in terms of demographics but they've been minmaxing their industry and economy for the past 100 years. even if you stop considering that US just has a high GDP, the country also has actual wealth like oil, specialist industries, R&D, a highly talented and motivated labor force, and a bunch of people running the economy who generally understand what makes it tick. if you're american you might think your country's leadership is retarded, but consider that they're keeping the recession in check by threading the needle with interest rates while securing as much real wealth as possible in time for the recession, while at least my government thinks that they can fix every issue if they just shuffle numbers around hard enough

Give it to me straight, is it even possible to move to Switzerland with a permit these days?

I take some antidepressants that really don't make me feel any different, desvenlafaxine
if you're familiar with the suicidal ideation scale it basically just takes away 1 point (out of ten) off it for me, just enough for me to not hit the planning stage quite as often, but it's not like what people say that it makes you a completely different person or whatever
wouldn't recommend it if you're not suicidal mostly because it's annoying to have another thing to think about in your routine and discontinuation symptoms are ass

as for therapy it's literally meant for the shit you're talking about, therapy is a meme for real mental illnesses but for the average normalfag "ahhh work is tiresome" stuff it can be pretty nice to just have someone that can listen to your rants
I think it was worth it for me even though it doesn't take care of my mental issues because it takes a huge load off what I end up ranting to my gf/family/friends, but otherwise I'd say skip it

best piece of advice I can give to handle the day to day struggle is doing drugs just don't be a retard and track your intake so you don't become a complete addict

any process is better than no process
you NEED someone whose job is to take screaming from stakeholders and convert it into prioritized tasks which respect the devs time commitment
whether that is a scrummaster or whoever's responsible for writing the project docs in waterfall doesn't matter, you just need someone in-between devs and randos otherwise you end up with everyone from every team screaming at tech until they find the weakest link who will accept their "super urgent task guys!!" and burn themselves out doing it

usa takes around 2.5 million immigrants a year while having a smaller population than the eu

>>103014943
Do the bare minimum at your current job to make sure it's still an option if your potential new job doesn't pan out. When they ask, tell whoever is assigning you work that it's an unrealistic deadline for X, Y, and Z. They're probably just a retard who doesn't know how to set realistic expectations with their boss so they hand those expectations to you. These people need reality explained to them so they can parrot to the higher ups that it can't be built that fast. Be sure to ask them what happens if it's not done by X date because it will cause a short circuit in their monkey brain and buy you time

>>103015125
based on the image you used in your post, i assume you are too retarded to understand these things. but i will spell it out for any other posters

typically those immigrants are a net positive for the US. the US has the privilege and the sense to pick the best and the brightest. canada and many euro countries don't have that privilege, because these countries are not typically anyone's first choice if they actually want to work hard, and nowadays they also have very little scrutiny over who they bring in. it turns out importing 500,000 deliverymen doesn't drive your country's economy to actually make some cool shit that other countries might want to buy, and instead it just impoverishes it further and drives the skill labor to leave for somewhere that doesn't tax them to shit. and because these countries are run by fucking idiots, they STILL don't get what the issue is and continue to double down on this plan. they just look at the age pyramid and say "need more young people" and that's the extent of their thought process

FUCK AGILE AND FUCK YOU

I got contacted by a recruiter recently. Based on what he sent, I do not have the required experience. I mentioned this, but he still wants to go through the process. I think that I will be able to pick up the work fairly quickly, and the pay range is great. I wonder what motivated him to reach out to me? Am I just there so he can have another name to give to the company? Maybe I might actually stand a chance of getting the job.

I'm too much of a brainlet for LC so I'm stuck working at boomercorps. Should have just grifted and became an industrial engineer

>>103015048
I do, but I'm pedantic
https://agilemanifesto.org/ this is agile, aka common sense
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(software_development) this is not agile, as you can not from the very first principle

He's basically making himself busy so he doesn't get laid out

the company i work for "implemented" scaled agile framework, or as they called it, a scaled agile hybrid
so two years later we are still working towards fixed scope deliveries that are explicitly timed to meet product launches and test gates
they even brought in some suitfag to educate everyone and explain how SAFe should be applied, and disregarded his points completely
also, good luck getting safety certification if you don't have comprehensive documentation or millions of hours of operation to claim "proven in use"

>>103015479
True, I'm going to see if this opportunity pans out and prepare like I stand a chance and hope for the best. At least if I get an interview, I can practice those skills.

Trust me you don’t want that. Working in a plant fucking sucks. I worked as an engineer at a plant in the middle of nowhere straight out of college dealing with shithead operators and management all day. If we needed to install a piece of equipment I had to be there, didn’t matter if it was on the weekend or late at night. I got a masters and a data science job specifically so I didn’t have to do that shit anymore. As stupid and pointless as these jobs can be, they’re a godsend compared to the alternative

I made 60k fresh out of college. Making about 350k now and managed to not lifestyle creep and so my retirement savings is looking pretty nice.

The number of workers earning 100k in Germany is tiny, plus you're leaving out energy which is crazy expensive in Germany.
