PMs DESERVE THE ROPE
>>103112682Why they did (((they))) removed the unemployed general? Why are (((they))) so afraid do admit that the tech jobs are not coming back?
>>103112864>Tech jobs aren't coming backMaybe not to European shit holes. America is back baby.
>>103112765Lower your cost of living and increase your revenue streams while getting investments with the money you're saving. For me that looks like owning a rental property that I only break even on but that's a long play. I've got my stock portfolio with more aggressive ETFs. And then I'm married so living expenses are shared with the wife.
>>103112915>>103112765Rental properties are only a good idea if you're already very good at DIY home repair/improvement stuff. If you're not stay far away because you'll probably lose money.
>>103112932I'm renting out a condo which is basically zero maintenance. But yes that's a big consideration. Either a place that doesn't need maintenance because it's new or managed. Or that the cost is low enough that you can make profit even while hiring a contractor now and then.
>>103112765No, real estate is a boomer meme. stick with stocks and bonds.
>>103112906Are you stupid? Trump is planning to enact tariffs on China and European foreign investment. This will cause a massive slowdown in Tech as companies are no longer willing to invest in US economy. There will be more layoffs, as companies continue to increase the use of AI in their processes. 50% of Googles software is written by AI.
>>103112974Boomers are some of the richest people around and the population is outpacing new homes every year. Don't necessarily look at rental properties but at the very least buy an affordable home that you plan to live in long term with the end goal being that you don't pay for housing anymore.
>>103112992Based and self-destruct pilled.
>>103112992Written by AI and reviewed by humans after asking the AI to write the same thing 4 times. We just switched from copying from stack overflow into copying from gpt. Tech jobs are going to grow in the next year but you'll stay unemployed. Funny that.
>>103112992>50% of Googles software is written by AI.lol
>>103112992Look. the options are hire Indians here or hire them there. I don't like them here.
Asking again:Say I have 5 tasks to do on the sprint (a week). I have 2 meetings a week on monday and thursday. Is it a good idea to finish and hand everything in before the thursday meeting or better to wait and push something on a friday?On the one hand I would be seen as a fast guy if I hand in everything but probably they would give me more work?I don't know. Anyone experienced here can chip in?
>>103113013I can't tell if it's better or worse than 50% being written by Indians.
>>103113035Hand everything in early and wait until scrum to start on the next thing.
>>103113035Finish at whatever pace you're able and then slowly submit for review as the week goes on. Depending on the size of your team you might end up with extra work if you work too quickly. But also just be sure to block out your calendar for "foundational time".
Work itself in the modern sense is The Satan. It drains your soul rapidly regardless of what field you're working in, medicine, law, engineering, trades, whatever.You're forced to participate in a game that you never signed up for. Instead of having festivals with people you love in your community and relaxing, you're forced to "commute" to an "office" and complete "tickets"Worst of all, there is nearly zero correlation between merit and your salary potential, so you're not even really in control of your own career/earning potential, which automatically means that you should be doing the absolute bare minimum to not get fired and not exert even one joule more.My advice to you is to start your own business or do some sort of passive income grift. Drop-shipping, a fake OnlyFans with AI generated content, whatever you can muster the will to do.People who create "jobs" are demons. Don't let NEET faggots ITT tell you otherwise. Some people are prisoners of their own mind and actually get hard at the idea of being taken advantage of, and using their short time on this Earth to make some hook-nose shareholder another million.t. 11 yoe being an engineer at a variety of levels (junior, mid, senior, now staff) working at both product development companies and research labs. they're all equally horrible, not because of any given trait of the job, but because being alive in anno domini 2024 necessitates "work"i also did blue collar tradie shit as a teen under my dad for money, just as horrific, but at least you get to be outside and talk to normal human beings instead of autistic bug people
I can't find /utwg/ so here it goes. How do I find a job in this market? I have several internships and projects. US Citizen and willing to relocate. And yet I've sent applications that I get no call back for. What should I do?
>>103113085Here's a job. Go make a /utwg/ thread.
>>103113098
>>103113098Can I get some advice from you employed people though?
>>103113085invent a time machine. become a top performer and make contributions to foss. network. build something very impressive on your own. those are quite literally your only four options good luck.
>>103113109No
>>103113082I think I've read this pasta awhile ago in a /twg/ thread. Are you the author of it? Did you find a way to break away from employment and do your own thing?
>>103113109If you pay attention and don't spam it's ok. There should be at least a 3:1 employed to unemployed poster ratio though. If it looks like there are too many unemployed posters (*posters* not posts) then don't post.
Should I cash out my vacation so I can buy a motorcycle outright? I'm essentially already a wfh neet that works maybe 5 hours a week
>>103113247yes vacations are gay
>>>103112556wyt anons
>>103113261Unironically correct, I haven't had a true vacation in years since I have no friends it would just be pathetic
>>103113394Wrong. You're depriving yourself of an excellent experience if you've never traveled overseas by yourself. Get drunk with your Airbnb host in Thailand, pay a TukTuk driver to haul ass through the street and wind up at a lady boy show. Good shit me brudda.

>>103113098I've noticed people here act like they can't make threads themselves. Why is that?
>>103113458u sound scared
>>103113467it u make a thread it messes up ur Security Clearance
>>103113544im the founder of /utwg/. i'd be lucky to get a copy of my own birth certificate now.
>>103113467Baking is for women. It's why /smg/ is always slow making threads too. There's none here.
>>103113653/smg/ moved to /bant/. The /biz/ thread is dead.
>>103113675And the /bant/ one typically waits until they hit the image limit.
>>103113544Saying nigger repeatedly on this website has already ruined our clearances
>>103113426This is probably bait but if not this is exactly what I am talking about. That is completely pathetic and makes anyone who isn't a detached loser cringe with pity
>>103113426If you want to get drunk with Asians just go to the DC suburbs. There are plenty of little Asian Ghettos out there. No need for the plain ticket and visa.

>>103113931ur mum is gay for liking ur dad. u were born in the gay, molded by it.

>>103113995SUCK MY FUCKIN ASS YOU GODDAMN STUTTERING FUCKING PARROT
>>103114009Yeah. This is why Lesbians don't really exist. Women are inherently the gay sex.
>>103114029But you are going to be smoking meth and having gay sex in Thailand, right?
>>103113082How much money do you make
>>103114040I'm not that anon. I don't smoke meth, not gay, not going to Thailand.
>>103114029That's out since there aren't many kids these days anyway. Halloween is the holiday for getting drunk at house parties with your other childless millennial friends.

Since switching from IT to Dev Manager, I’ve realized the insane amount of bureaucratic processes we have to follow (this is just related to dev performance, I have hundreds of other processes I have to follow daily).- Monthly self-eval: Devs must submit a detailed monthly self-evaluation - Manager evaluation: Dev’s manager evaluates them monthly too.- Weekly team evaluation: Dev's direct manager evaluates the "team" as a single unit every week.- Quarterly upper management review: The direct manager’s manager steps in every quarter to assess the team as well.- Each dev's “buddy” (more senior dev they're partnered with) performs a monthly evaluation of their performance too- TL assesses sprint quality after each sprint.- TL's manager reviews sprint quality too (non-technical manager)Now, management expects me to sift through all this data weekly toghether with Jira to identify any "underperformers". They don’t see the redundancy—they just want more.When I pointed out that the sheer volume of surveys and performance checks is beyond redundant, my manager brushed it off, accusing me of trying to "work less."In his eyes, productivity means creating more processes. Only colleagues who add extra layers of bureaucracy get rewarded, never those who streamline.Am I being a baby?Feeling disillusioned... Is this really what management is supposed to be?Because if so, I’m tempted to just go wild creating even more pointless processes—like they seem to want—and drown everyone in surveys and meaningless reports.
im gonna have a fucking breakdown bros im really trying my hardest and all i get is ignored and rejected, society hated me from the beginning
>>103114392>tfw this is unironically true for me and when i was trying that every guy turned me down
>>103113467Unemployed spotted. When I have any sort of request I summon the helpdesk.
>>103114989That's insane. Top companies do performance reviews like once or twice a year. The signal to noise ratio on weekly or even monthly reviews must be really bad. Your company's management sounds terrible. Don't give in, try to find a better job.
>>103114767>knows his shit>very responsive>sometimes argumentativeWhich I consider good, but maybe they think I'm too argumentative. I don't know, whatever. PLOWING AHEAD.
>>103113085Post resume. Previous experience is critical, it's what every person is going to first look at when they see your resume.
>Be on the verge of posting resume here for critique >See something in it that looks/sounds retarded and I think I would get torn apart for on here >Panic >Fix it myself >Repeat for hours on end huh, my anxiety disorder is finally useful for something
>>103115045I think this level of insanity is because we're contractors. If the client's company doesn't like us or thinks we're underperforming they can just ask for a replacement in like less than 24 hours
>>103115099Don't dox yourself on this site, you fool.
>>103115149It's kind of funny because I was simply anonymizing it to post here, and while doing that I realized I had tunnel visioned all the edits I've made in the past year and my resume was actually a total clusterfuck so I'm redoing the whole thing.
>>103114989I have a semiannual performance review and scrum every other day and that's it. I think your company is just super fucked. That's the most I've had too, my first company was even lighter.
Studying leetcode and system design for interviews is making me want to kill myself
>>103115384I think the most leetcody interview I ever had was just to reverse a string in C. It's very rare you get serious algorithms questions in practice.
>>103115384No pain, no gain>>103115475Many companies are doing leetcode interviews nowadays. My last interview had a more complicated variant of a leetcode hard.
>>103115475Where do you live, and when did you last interview? If anon lives in a tech hub and is interviewing in current year, it's likely he'll have at least three leetcode interviews per job app.
>>103115720NoVA.
We started documenting things and creating a knowledge base. One of the autismos on my team jokingly said to write them as shittily as possible because if not, once they think they know all we know, it's over and we're now interchangeable. Is that true? What is the point of a knowledge base?
>>103112906
>>103115919won't happen. you'll just get more retarded questions. documentation is a meme.
>company starting a "one commit per day" policyerm
>>103115974>"typo"
>>103115974lol gl with that
>>103115979yeah, management is incredibly incompetent while it's true that some devs in our company are lazy, i'm getting tired of management "inventing" new ways to "measure" productivity
>>103115919it's not true because that implies the people looking to fire you can read, but yes thats why grognards hoard info, never document anything, and even outright obsfucate their code.
>>103116122Useless workers are just karmic punishment for useless managers.
Well, it's something
>>103116305does this mean more companies will hire?
>>103116344yeah sure go get a job tiger you got no excuses now
>>103112880just because your jewish line went up doesn't mean the jobs are back>>103113085we are fucked> willing to relocatewhy would the third world (which is where the tech jobs are going) hire you when they have plenty of local people they can hire? it's over
ONLY 10 MORE YEARS PLEASE LORD CHRIST ALMIGHTY
>>103116557>tfw if I threw $10k into NVDA 10 years ago and didn't touch it, I could simply retire right now (not lavishly, but it would work)
>>103116627Ye and if you threw 10k into zoom 5 years ago you would have almost none of that now. No point in dwelling on what could have been, anon. For every right decision, there's was a bad one.
>>103116557You should buy an RV or take a vacation. No one needs that much money. Give some back.
>>103116795Give back? I donate 30% every year, anon.
>>103116802lmao why?
>>103116344Theoretically yes, but not immediately, and not by much

I have an interview for a test engineer position tomorrow. It's like 80% hardware focused and 20% programming/scripting. I've only ever worked as a programmer.When the recruiter asked me what I know about computer architecture I just put on my best trump impression>Yes computer architecture I know all about it I'm the best at computer architecture you won't find anyone as good as meSo now I have a panel interview. What do I need to know?

r8 my resume pls
>>103118207I think my drinking is going to kill me in the next 5 years and I think if Id stayed in something like accounting that kept me around people and busy i wouldnt have developed a problem.but who knows, Ive always had a problem regulating. and covid was probably what sealed my fate

>>103118396>Remove objetivewhy?>Pad it out with some personal projectsWork projects aren't enough? I don't have time for extra shit man
>>103118336Get rid of the intro
>>103118402NTA but it's fallen out of fashion in general. It shouldn't be a whole section but can be a cute way to take up whitespace if you need to.Yours isnt an "objective" as such but it's still too long and mostly just says what the rest of your resume will. it should be no longer than one line, and should be treated as a preamble more than a summary.Also>2nding bullet points>"pouch sortation" might be real but sounds incredibly dumb and lame, fluff that shit up>remove references, that's also dated and it goes without saying that you should have some (and employers don't check or ask for them as often as they used to)>"vocational" is presumably your schooling; make education its own entire header>you obviously know how to make lines so why is vocational followed by ...........................>none of this actually matters because no human is going to read it, just add bullets for ATS>Pad it out with some personal projects"So what should a real interview consist of? Let me offer a humble proposal: don’t interview anyone who hasn’t accomplished anything. Ever. Certificates and degrees are not accomplishments; I mean real-world projects with real-world users. There is no excuse for software developers who don’t have a site, app, or service they can point to and say, “I did this, all by myself!” in a world where Google App Engine and Amazon Web Services have free service tiers, and it costs all of $25 to register as an Android developer and publish an app on the Android Market."
moving soon. new jersey.
>>103118207yes, deeply. My plan for the next few months is to learn to mask my 'tism-like traits and social ineptitude so that I can move into sales or some boring recession-proof career.
>>103118207no? I'm just playing a role anyways. free money is free money.
it's nothing serious.
>>103118207Nah it's pretty sweet. I make a ton of money and get to work with smart and cute Chinese girls. What else would I do?
bros, what's the point of tech recruiters when the market is oversaturated with applicants?
>>103118751most applicants are shit
>>103118780How shit could they possibly be? I don't believe that most people signing up for programming jobs can't do fizzbuzz.
>>103118784i only know how to do fizzbuzz because it was a meme not to know how to do fizzbuzz.
>>103118784The bar is way higher than fizzbuzz
>>103118784it's not so much that they can't as that if you don't do the exact same implementation the interviewer would, they execute you
>>103118751Since it’s so oversaturated, cold applications all go straight to the trash. There’s no time for hiring managers to interview everyone or even look at the resumes, they’re busy doing their actual jobs. Recruiters are the ones sifting through all the shit to find people worth taking the time to interview.

I recently learned there was an entire team of (mostly immigrant and non-white) women at work whose primary responsibility can probably be automated with a Django site.I want to propose this to my boss, but my boss is an immigrant woman.How do I bring this up without revealing my power levels? Maybe I should focus on economics? I don't even want compensation, or a budget. I'm gonna ask our VM admin to spin up a Ubuntu VM for me. I'm just and misogynist so I'll do it for free.I know she's ambitious, saving the company from having to pay the salaries + benifits of a dozen employees would be good for her career progression, right?
>about to go to sleep>suddenly figure out how to fix the bug
the sun also rises.
>>103119305Start with hypotheticals. If I could automate processes, are there rewards? What value thresholds do you guys care about? What if I eliminated entire jobs or departments? No rewards? Then don't do it. Example from my past: hey boss what's the reward structure for landing a new client?"None but we should look into it"Okay let me know.And I never put one minute of effort into sales. Thus I never felt fucked over.

Tell me that I’ll make it. I don’t want to hate myself anymore.
>>103120835>repeating Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms for the third timeHave you tried understanding data structures and algorithms?
>>103120869Kinda sorta. My professor’s lectures do little more than make me feel frustrated for not being able to follow him, and when I try to study the notes at home I become overwhelmed by the information. I don’t ever feel like I’m learning anything or making any progress when I try to study this shit. It just feels like I’m aimlessly reading extremely tedious shit for no reason.I’ve heard others say that’s “normal”, which makes even less sense. I mean, I definitely get the impression that *most* of my classmates have no idea what’s going on, and in our class of like 26, usually ~10 of them never show up.
>>103120933If you're overwhelmed with information then it's because you don't understand what you're hearing.Take it a chunk at a time, learn basics before advanced concepts, learn vocabulary, learn why not just what, etc.
>>103120835>so depressed that even adderall doesn’t help anymoreStimulants make stuff like this harder not easier. You need sleep, exercise, and a small amount of good food. Not drugs.Then you need to just sit down and try implementing the algorithms over and over again. Failing to do it will give you a good intuition for what's going on.

>>103119072I think a lot of you guys don't know or have forgotten that other fields have had bubbles just like CS has. The difference with software engineering/programming is that you can kind of just take your bowl and leave, you don't *need* anyone else to make money it just makes it a lot easier.Law is a much more competitive industry. My brother who is way more focused and hard working than I am is a lawyer and I watch him really struggle and grind. Meanwhile I barely show up and make more. I've even been fired and it took me a pretty short amount of time to get a new job.Things are absolutely worse than they have been but if you don't hate CS/programming it's still a good carrier.
>>103118444>but it's fallen out of fashion in generalI hate that there's a "culture" for resumes that you have to keep up with.I've mostly ignored it and done fine. I'm not fucking do that. I'm good at what I do and charge a fair price, take it or leave it.

>>103121240in general once you make it your resume drops all the "fashion" and "culture" stuff to pack in more than 30 words about what you actually do. most of that stuff is for fresh out of high school kids
>>103121716I'm not understanding how globalism means they can't have certain shapes
>>103123596Different rules work for different kinds of people. If you push the same rules on everyone a lot of things just become completely unavailable to them. (for example Indians and Mexicans being willing to cram multiple families into one housing unit while the Anglos kick their kids out at 18 to compete with them.)
>>103118444>in a world where Google App Engine and Amazon Web Services have free service tiers, and it costs all of $25 to register as an Android developer and publish an app on the Android MarketNice soundbite from someone who has clearly never actually attempted either use free tiers or register as a developer android/apple app stores.
>>103123731Smart phone app stores were always more about intercorporate relationships than hosting or technology. A lot of people weren't aware enough to realize this though.
>>103123528You could try hiding among the Chinese. Plenty of Chinese companies have offices here and they're not exactly keen on hiring poos
>>103123566>most of that stuff is for fresh out of high school kidsResume tweaking is also mostly just a way to pretend you have some control over the processThe micro details of your resume don't make a noticeable difference, it's just to keep yourself sane with false hope that your response rate will go up because you moved a section or changed a word

>>103120835Hey, man. I'm sorry things are rough for your right now. Your immediate problems are difficult, and I know how you feel because I've been there. I almost failed a couple classes as a sophomore because I was overencumbered by college, my part time jobs, and interview prep. It's a lot. But you can do it. Find what's blocking you from making progress in your class, for example. Is it distraction? Remove it or spend several hours every day at a library with nothing but your books until you figure your shit out for the current workload. Is it general lack of energy? Get more sleep or consider talking to a doctor about it because it might be something that you can be treated for like depression. DS&A is tough, but the fact that you've had to repeat it a few times tells me something is off. Just find out what that is, address it, and then keep moving forward. You'll do fine :)
>>103124017i hate posters like youpsych dropout faggots who think they have all the answers when no one even asked a real question
>>103124017>Hey, man. I'm sorry things are rough for your right now.>>103124043Man I fucking hate that and all the adjacent phrases. Shut the fuck up. Either you have a solution or you don't in which case you shouldn't be talking.
>>103124043i was going to do psych years ago but couldnt even be fucked to finish high school lmao. yeah nah, psych is what you do in uni when you have no fucking idea what to do after hs. it's a way to waste time and money without your parents thinking you're a wastoid. not that it works on everybody else.what was i saying? oh yeah, my one regret i had back in hs is that i did not drop out sooner. i fell for the learn2code meme years ago and it actually paid off. hell yeah, me brudah.

>>103123528my company's head office is in quebec and we only have one indian on the entire IT/IS teamnot sure if this is normal for quebec companies
Not a team lead but my team's been helping me on a big cleanup and I want to reward them on our RTO day. Pizza seems corny as fuck but I can't tell of any other option (+idk i hate doing food since everyone has dietary restrictions including myself)
>>103124338it's pretty normal. the jeet fears french, and french people in quebec are pretty nationalist and right-wing. the anglos tend to lean left but are more O B S E S S E D with BBC and diversity hires tend to be big bara black males. all the chickenheads work in medical administration

>>103124384is it coming out of your pocket or company funds?if it's your pocket then pizza would be corny and maybe even disruptive since that's a lot of food to put out and be sitting around all day, your workplace might not appreciate that. and if it's a surprise, people might have already packed lunches or just not want pizza that day.I would get a big back of those Lindt orbs. i've never heard of anyone allergic to chocolate and you can leave the container out so people can check allergy info. they're individually wrapped so even if they aren't in a chocolate mood, they can pocket a few and have them later. a tin of Quality Street usually goes over well too, for the same reasonsbut the gold standard in canada is to bring in a big case of Tim's -- one of those coffee tankards and a few crates of timbits. because it's commercial goyslop it has never touched real food so most people won't have an allergy to it and people on diets or whatever can have ONE timbit and not feel bad. i think the only thing it hits is celiac disease since it's still wheat flour cake doughnuts. it also doesn't "compete" with whatever food options are already present and is something you can snack on before/after lunch.if I had 50 bucks to spend on one day of office treats, I'd go with>big tank of good/iconic coffee>doughnut holes for some>filled chocolates for others>>103124408honestly the only reason I don't move back is because I already have work here and an in to get more when I want it. when I retire I'm 100% moving back to Montrealspeaking of, if you move to Montreal, you don't have to know french... but it's also jeet central because of that. walk down the street and it's all fuckin' jeets. but still, the culture is at least slightly less tolerant of jeetery and most of them are there to go to Concordia and then flee to the US

>>103124387>brings up BBC for no reasonSeek help
>>103124604it was a joke but really, in Quebec most of the DEI shit going on is more focused on black people. Historically, blacks have just been around longer and there are not that many naturalized citizen jeets who aren't high caste property owners living off rental scams. And because the tax breaks you get for being a homegrown industry don't pay you out as well if you have any foreign personnel or investment, H1B style scamming is more rare. Quebec gives out TONS of money for Quebec companies to stay Quebecois, and incentivizes non-qc companies to establish satellites there and hire locally. That's why about 10 years back so many media companies suddenly established new offices there, they get huge tax breaks and outright bribes to build a building there through SNC Lavalin and then staff it exclusively with people named Jean-Something

Tech didn’t blow up, you just need to be smarter.Set up a router that vpns to your usa address, go work in asia.Booom now you’re a 1%er who has unlimited cash and cute girls everywhere.
>>103124694that implies there are jobs available at all, let alone full remote ones
>>103115475>>103124566>It's very rare you get serious algorithms questions in practice.It depends what's meant by "serious algorithms"FAGMAN-style leetcode interviews don't like to ask you to code something that requires much prior knowledge, you don't ever asked about anything deeper than the little baby graph algorithms. There is stuff in Cormen that's way deeper than any leetcode interviewWhat you do get asked are boatloads of 1D array questions that a monkey could solve in O(n^2) but require some cheesy ad-hoc asspull to get sub-quadratic complexity
I'm honestly in the same boat as >>103113085. Graduated this spring. I have projects. I have an internship. I'm good at talking to people and generally interview well, but I rarely get interviews. I don't really want to post my resume here, but I have had several technical and non-technical people review it and tell me it looks good. I have applied to around 150 jobs at this point and heard almost nothing back. "Networking" is probably the key here, but I don't see many opportunities to do that at my level.This is not a vent post. I'm earnestly asking for advice here. Also, the fundamental problem with /utwg/ is that it's a bunch of unemployed people asking other unemployed people for advice, so I hope someone here with experience is willing to give their 2 cents.
still haven't done my required trainings lol. but at least i found out i only have 5 to do instead of 6.
>>103124685The fact that women do not have the level of second-order thinking that you ascribe to them, that if other women can be automated away, so could they since they are a woman too, is an important factor to keep in mind!
>>103124721perishthere are no jobs. over half of postings are "ghost listings" and of those they demand the best of the best only for their bullshit AD janitor jobs. Even when they relax those requirements, they usually have bizarre other ones instead. For example, last time I interviewed at an MSP, they told me basically that I interviewed very well, my experience was appropriate, and I'd likely have been hired quickly if only I had a CDL. A fucking CDL. To work at an MSP doing remote support. I guess they really meant it when they said "remote", or maybe HR karens and IT team leads are just fucking insane and have no idea what they want or need.
>>103124712You can nab full remote at a lower tier company, it won’t pay as good as FAGMAN but you’ll be in Asia with a white collar salary. The envy of all expats.
>>103123528In the US, anything government-affiliated usually requires US citizenship so you won't get fresh off the boat Indians.

>>103124886>Maybe that's true for the Canadian equivalents?It is, there are government jobs that only hire citizens for security reasons, the only issue is that Canadian defense spending is something like 1% of US defense spending. There are just not even a fraction as many of those kinds of jobs here

I'm going to drink 4 Colt 45s and chain smoke today>>103124983>>103124886akshually DND recently dropped the requirements to join the military to just having a long term visa, basically. you only have to be a "permanent resident" and not an actual citizen. we don't have as many intel/paramilitary agencies as the US either -- in general, the agencies' charters are pretty broad but also incredibly restrictive and hostile to starting new agencies or allowing overlap. For example, in the US you have the FBI, DHS, ATF, etc., then every state has its own police, and then there's eight gorillion specialized agencies like the National Zoological Park Police. Here in canada, all that shit is the purview of the RCMP who has its own sub-departments/taskforces and only two or three provinces have a provincial police agency, and only two of them are older than a decade. You have five or arguably six or more military branches that all act mostly autonomously and all have land/air/sea assets of their own, we have three and the army has to call the navy just to drive larger boats around inland.About the only time they line up is the US has the CIA/NSA dichotomy, we have CSIS/CSEC who have similar division of labor/responsibilities. at defense contractor agencies, they're jeeted up as a matter of course for all business under crapitalism. canadian homegrown "defense contractor" companies like CAE or Ultra or whatever tend to be very white but more because they're 99% retired CF technicians who joined in the 80s, moved to public service, then to private contracting, and are now doing the legendary Quintuple Dip. And if you're not in that old boys club, they are happy to tell you fuck off, they're full.

>>103125163Yes.It's when you shit your pants but you're a zoomer.
>>103124886>Dunno about the rest of Canada but I could understand being homesick for Alberta. I've visited Calgary a couple times now and it's pretty great.banff is pretty nice for the nature and I like calgary, but alberta is pretty much fucked economically long-term I think. they should be doing what texas does and pivot to tech/green energy but the oiltards in that province want to triple down on a resource that could unironically end up being like coal 10-15 years from now and turn alberta into a rust belt state.
>>103125278it's already happening. a lot of the oil left to exploit is in tar sands and shit where it's too expensive to extract to be worth it, or in places requiring lots of fracking which pisses everybody off already. alberta is gonna be a poorfag province soon and not even have any social safety nets in place since the province is perpetually out of money due to not imposing taxes and oil companies slowly pulling out due to extraction costs rising and populations being less tolerant of their ever more exotic (and destructive) practices
I made a mistake, I lied and said that my previous position was actually as a software dev and now I have 2 interviews lined up.Do I ghost them and go back to being honest or do I see how far I can take this lie?

>>103114989The hospital I’m working at right now suffers from that level of BEYOND INSANE micromanagement that you’re describing. I got in trouble a couple of weeks ago for pressing the “cancel” button too many times on the machine for dispensing medications. When my boss called me into her office to discuss how I could improve this, I was literally too bewildered to understand what the fuck she was even asking lmao.Anon, is some dickhead statistician working at “corporate” running spreadsheets on how many times people select the fucking CANCEL option on a med machine. I have racked my brain for like a week trying to understand what possible fucking use they could have for monitoring this, and really the only sane thing I could conclude is that they’re not doing it because it’s useful or important— they’re just doing it because they *can*. I fucking hate inept bureaucrats so much that it makes me want to puke. Don’t be one of them, anon. Use that brain of yours to find a way to improve things. Don’t contribute to the further disillusionment of rational order that we face every day.
>>103130610>Anon, is Meant to say “THERE is”
>>103130610Uh this is tech workers general anon, not nursing general. But since you asked, it's because most nurses are drug addicts and can't be trusted with unrestricted access to medication.
>>103130772>unrestricted I’m not a nurse, I’m this anon >>103120835. Every single transaction that is made on those machines is recorded and can be pulled up very easily. Only a genuine retard would think they can steal narcotics out of one without getting caught within a week or less.The way nurses ACTUALLY do it is that they document that they gave a medication to their patient (i.e. morphine), then skip the step where they have to physically hand the med to the patient and just pocket it themselves. We have had nurses stupid enough to think they could just take the med out of the machine, though, so I can’t blame an idiot like you for believing that monitoring the number of times the cancel button is being pressed AT ALL is actually helping to solve the national opioid crisis.
