>>109284416>No feet smelling techPlease anons its a billion dollar idea.
I got a new job because I looked around and realized none of my coworkers have improved or learned anything in the years I've known them it's quite disheartening to watch
>>109284374dude, this place smells like fucking WEED ofc I want to take my entire hour to fucking breathe instead of smelling chain smokers all day longif you felt insulted you shouldn't have given me a job that gives a full hour break
Where are the useful links in the op, like uptime status checker etc?This place got turned into /g/'s HYDErabad-park. Barely anyone talks about work or tech.(Also: it's only Thursday)
>>109284838I can't believe they removed the leetcode link. How are all these future menial labor workers with CS degrees going to toil in futility about getting jobs that don't exist if we don't put a link to leetcode in the OP?
>>109284869These are utwg links.Also you seem to be mad to be called out on how offtopic these threads became.
Ugh this sucks man I've been trying to look for a new job but my mind is constantly like>FUCK ALL THESE ROLES YOU'RE JUST TRADING ONE SHIT FIELD TO ANOTHER SHIT FIELD>YOURE GONNA GET RAPED FUCKED AND MAIMED NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO>IF YOU QUIT YOU'LL BE FREEEEEE YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE SAFER LOWER PAID JOBS OR YOU CAN DO YOUR HOBBIES AND GET PAID THAT WAY FOR A WHILE YOU'LL HAVE FREEEEEEEEDOMfuckkkkkkkkkk I know it's not practical but my brain REALLY hitting the fuck all this corpo nonsense ride it till you're out then liveeee
I shouldn't have gone into IT. I should have risked it and did CS. It's even worse than being an unemployed programmer. I should have listened to /g/. Instead I fell for the networking meme and am stuck at an MSP making 24 an hour doing an utterly insane amount of work with an impossible on call rotation.
>>109284937>24hr Networking ITholy shit are you underpaid. Is that good or bad for europe?
>>109284903Ok but have you even heard of a website called LinkedIn?
>>109284838>Where are the useful links in the op, like uptime status checker etc?I'm the one who has posted links in the last threads, and some retard (probably a janny who thinks he's funny) keeps deleting them and posting shit from linkedin and xitter.they also moved the links to the unemployed general because, again, they think it's funny.
>>109284869>>109284960>noo don't read tech news to be informed of new trends and talk to other tech workers elsewhere, or visit linkedin to look for new jobsI can smell your mediocrity from miles away. I bet you are indian. you certainly smell of putrid shit.you obviously do not belong here, faggot.
Most security engineers couldn't engineers themselves out of a paper bag
>>109285072None of us even CS fits the engineering description. Even my CCIE holding network engineers are severely lacking problem solving skills. Can't even fire them due to contract requirements.
>>109285072no one in computer tech is an "engineer".
After 7 months, I finally had a crumb of work to do today, AND got added to a meeting series. The gods are finally smiling upon me fellas.
>>109285083I'd save that title for EE/Physics who work on Radar/Satellites and have actual PE licenses. Likewise all of the Semiconductor designers/engineers have Phd's and who the fuck gets a PhD in CS to go work at google?
>>109285064you are in the wrong thread. take the seething to >>>/utwg/
>>109284838>(Also: it's only Thursday)
>>109285117go back, rajesh. your warm cow dung is waiting for you to eat it.
>>109284416This isn't crazy—it's respectful.
>>109285183wtf thats literally meexcept i dont' go to the barber because i'm bald
>>109284374>get a job for company that has never had it before>just wanna build cool shit to make everyones lives easier>millions of request for people wanting stupid shit daily>on top of half-assed solutions or external hosting powered by indians I have to clean up constantlyshit fuckin hurts
>>109285072it's their role to stop you getting into the paper bag
>boss talks about how he talks to ChatGPT for hours and how she thinks it has empathy and emotion>Everything has to be "AI First" and we're expected to use agents and Copilot for everything>Unironically told us we need to do more vibe codingOh it's never been more over >Said we should use Gemini to turn documents into podcasts we can listen toI can't keep faking that I agree with all of this shit it's genuinely going to give me psychosis
>>109284912>LOWER PAID JOBS>SAFER
>>109285457I don't care how much emotion a robot can feel i hope it feels pain when i call it a toastigger
>WFH network analyst>Have 5-7 other analysts always online working with me so I can just sit back and do nothing unless explicitly asked to do something>Tickets are almost always the same and whenever something challenging pops up someone else does it>Know fuck all about networking and find it boring as shit>Sometimes do nothing but move the mouse around so it looks like I'm active>Sometimes I just get fucking high and drunk and goon throughout the entire shift>Have been like this for almost 3 years now>Coworkers might have started noticing I literally do nothing for weeks on end and my antipathic unfriendly attitude>Boss still congratulates on my good work every time we have a one on one meetingI thank God and all his angels in heaven for letting me experience this bliss.I promise that starting tomorrow I will be a good worker, I will cherish this job, I will take it seriously, I will start giving a fuck about Cisco. I promise I will react with the laughing emoji at their stupid jokes and I'll even make some too. Please God, don't let them fire me.
>>109285497Just put something kind of heavy, like a spoon, on your touchpad. Makes it so you don't have to do the mouse wiggle every 5 minutes. Keep up the good grifting anon
>>109285497If no one shat on you this entire time its because the rest of your coworkers are job hoppers taking that experience elsewhere and see it as a nuisance to deal with lazy people. They are their own worst enemies in many ways since its easy to talk about issues with coworkers but they need the job exp more than it is to deal with you.
>>109285432And their solution is to demand everyone stops making paper bags and then throwing a fit when when they're told it's unrealistic. Effective? Sure, if it can be done. Clever? Never.Luckily for them, they can just train their users about how to handle phishing threats and pat themselves on the back when they tell stakeholders they've saved the company. And yes, I'm mad and unreasonable.
Anons, is this normal or am i being gangstalked? >281 jobs applications>17 interviews>every week i get 2-4 interviews>this week got 6 different whores pretending to schedule an interview>i talk to hr and reply yes to everything>still never go to 2nd round>whores dm me on linkedin trying to schedule an interview>say we can do at x>they ghost me
My workplace head office is having a celebratory morning tea on a Friday, and offering to fly in everyone interstate. I really don't want to do a 2-hour flight each way for one day, but I know every non-attendance has an optics cost.
>>109285055Thanks for clarification. What about amazon/google/365 online status links or orange site and stuff that'd scare normies away? Are these unfunny too?>>109285153I started losing track of the weekdays. It's on ebig meeting about meetings and showing code and configs into lunch breaks.>>109285707Aren't you paid extra for travel?
>>109285903>Aren't you paid extra for travel?Economy, lowest fare, daily meal allowance, accommodationNo extra pay
>>109285703so basically 99% of the time HR only needs one person for the full organization as far as the hiring team itselfthe HR that deals with actual money payments, onboarding, background checks, that needs a few more people, all responsibilities can be sharedin order to make it look like they are doing work, because every week there is a management meeting, they need to report on what they are doing, nothing says what they are doing as the numbers of "number of leads interviewed" and "number of interviews secured" and "number of leads approached"TL;DR if you own a company and it you have a separate HR department -- fire them all, leave one person.
>>109285064Tech is dead retard. Bookmark cybersecuritynews and that’s all relevant information you need e.g. about when you need to brace yourself for an upcoming mass device rape by Microsoft
>>109286013Microshit and Apple is like 60% chink jeeted. Prepare to migrate to linux but for real this time.
>>109286036least delusional Linux fanboy
>>109286049Valve was microshit employees get gud nigga.
>>109286036I started distrohopping Q1 2025 from mint > arch > ubuntu > debian > xubuntu and settled on xubuntu in Q3 2025. This is works so much better than winshit in every metric and its an outdated meme distro.
>>109286079XFCE rat wins all races. Aside from Microsoft office everyone i know uses Opensource software anyways.
>>109284605Yeah, most people are lazy and stupid.
>>109285939Well, at least you gave me an idea. I will avoid all consulting companies for a month, only apply to staff and see how my ratio of app/interview changes. An interesting fact is that from 281 apts, 17 interviews with hr i never talked to a single client. I tell these jobs are fake
>>109285703>>109285939>>109286118These sound like normal numbers to me from my experience in west europe. 2% interview invitation rate. Ive only had one well dressed MALE recruiter hook me up with an actual interview for a devops position, and it wouldve been a hit if the interviewer didnt become all tsundere because i talked about how ive been studying cybersec in my free time a lot, and he interpreted it as me having a passion for that or something that i should chase. I immediately cba anymore when an interviewer or employer starts filling in these blanks for me. Like retard im here in person interviewing and i said im interested and you said you were interested in me as well. This shit is like highschool dating.Anyway i suggest you do the same experiment i did. Make a duplicate resume with a fake name saying you’re a girl. I applied to 20 positions this way and got 60% interview invitation rate. You really dont hate femoid HR cunts enough. You NEED a direct line to your future coworkers or lead. Networking is everything. Or buy a 5090 and pretend to be a foid i guess.
>>109286156>This shit is like highschool dating.Maybe the job was fake, he was just wasting your time anyway and looking for an excuse to reject you. Back in the covid hoax i had a bizarre experience. This car company made me do 4 rounds of 1h+ "interviews" and these guys were talking about life and shit, as an excuse to "know me personally" and "see my soft skills", to this day i think those guys lived alone and were feeling lonely so they pretend to interview people just to talk to someone.Seriously, i went to college for nothing, cant stand these stupid games and humilation rituals. I liked this profession before AI but i dont see the point in keep going after that. All i want is a last job to make a smooth transition to another manual labor carrer, although, if i dont get a job by november im just giving up and start aplying to mc donalds. Fuck this all.
>>109286156Also another interesting thing i saw in my last job:>get hired as contractor with a woman and another 60s grandpa>team at company is alot of 60s guys, a black intern, 2 white contractors working at same company as contractor for almost 5 years>4mo in>the company hires the woman as staff>8mo in>the black intern with 1.5yoe is hired as staff>2 white old contractors are kept as contractors>we ofc work in humiliation open office concept>hear my boss trying to negotiate with his boss to hire a perfect match for an open position (aka his friend)>rejected because f/m ratio>12mo in>get fired>the 60s guy probably got fired since he was white too, but idkBut anyway, AI will kill everything anyway, no need to get mad at esg anymore.
what do you guys recommend taking the remote consulting gig or the office hardware job? Both pay the same but I wonder if the hardware stuff is harder to automate.
>>109286239AI and the unstoppable jeet flood*Im already investing in more tangible things of value such as looks and strength and with a little but of luck i will be tradding it up in east europe soon working a menial job. Fuck IT, fuck western women, and fuck brown people.
Someone convince not to pivot careers and go to Law or Med School, or something that's an actual PROFESSIONWhy the fuck should I keep working for corporations? The culture is dogshit I'm just a number on a spreadsheet. Public service at least has meaning in it, and professionals have fuck off leverage, self-regulation, and autonomy that we don't.Like fuck I've even considered becoming a priest enrolling in a Catholic theology school. At least that's based on something real that matters to humanity. Not dealing with Jeets, MBAs and grifting middle manager women who think they're contributing to society when all they're doing is being a busybody in jew daycare.I fucking hate Jeets and Indian culture so much. I fucking hate corporate America and MBA culture so much. These people need to burn.
>>109286277Med school 12-15 years of college/medschool/Residency/hands on to make real money8 years of law depending upon country but heavily saturated. I make more in IT than most lawyers btw 160k$ USD yearly.
>>109286277>med schoolAlready being overrun by jeets. Its easy to take advantage of old or sick people>law schoolGood idea but you need to be a sociopath to really thrive in this fieldI myself was thinking electrical engineering or finance
>>109285410>>109285457>>109285703>>109285939>>109286036>>109286156>>109286191>>109286239>>109286269>>109286277Is tech really this bad?
>>109286307Learn to weld has become learn to flip burgers.
>>109286277Healthcare and legal services already corporatized and filled with sleazebags. They're not noble professions the way you think they are.
>>109286289I don't care about the time commitment. I'll do 2 years of baccalaureate classes and do 4 years of Med School. I like studying and learning. It's better than dealing with fake corporate culture. You're learning and practicing some real rather than having to interact with barely literate Jeets and retarded corporate cucks all day.Law school is only 3 years in the US. Market is saturated but I'm fine working someplace rural. >I make more in IT than most lawyers btw 160k$ USD yearly.Idc about money at this point. I'd stick to tech if I say. Law would be a salary downgrade, and medicine would probably be net even in the long term considering the years of schooling.>>109286290>Already being overrun by jeets. Its easy to take advantage of old or sick peopleTrue, there's Jeets in medicine. But I'd be a Doctor and could tell retards to fuck off because I'd have leverage because fuck you I'm a doctor I'll go work for another hospital or clinic. Almost like this is a profession with standards sn ethical codex and self-regulation. Unlike whatever the fuck tech and software engineering has become. What an awful fucking culture we have.>Good idea but you need to be a sociopath to really thrive in this fieldReally only for biglawn I.e. corporate law. I'm not fucking touching that field with a ten foot pole. I'll open my own law office or work for the local county.
>>109286277See, i went to college and actually enjoyed working with computers and coding but AI killed it. My idea now is to get actually useful skills (in cs all useful software already exists, all you can do nowdays is ai shoehorn for b2b saas shit), then try to work for people and skip corpo and jews. Even if i need to end up cutting grass for people.If i could go back in time, i would choose a degree or carrer with real world, useful skills to let me deal directly with people. Remember that epstein said to let the goyim deal in the real world. Finance, AI, webdev, these things arent the real world. >>109286269good luck, i think it is the best choice given our times
>>109286307You have no idea how close we are to mass death/destruction events due to outsource/ESG incompetency and gigakike greed from AIslop
>>109286324Everything is shit but they're less shit. And I'd have leverage.>Dealing with a fake foid nurse playing office games? Fuck you I'm the Doctor and you work under me.>Dealing with a retarded middle manager healthcare admin? Fuck you, I'm the Doctor. Fill this lab order and get this done or my patient will suffer.>Dealing with too many Jeets in my current clinic? Lmao bye retards I'll move to rural Minnesota and get a free $300k job at a hospital who desperately needs physicians because millennial faggots don't want to live anywhere that's not a city.All the same applies to law except the salaries are lower and you have less leverage immediately. Law has the advantage of zero Jeets and it's equally portable. And I don't give a shit about the money. Corporate culture is only a real problem in law if you work for biglaw or are an in-house lawyer directly for a company. Obviously avoiding those. I'll do public service and actually help people.
>>109286368>MinnesotaEnjoy the Carrabin doctors who have priority over you for getting hired around black (((people))) aka somalian's
>turning 30 in 10 days>no college because i was broke as shit and kicked out of the house at 18>no energy because working retail 60-80 hours a week is killing me slowly>no portfolio, but i'm pretty good at everything involving computers, have done a little html and java coding back in the day for my own personal things but never saved them for long termIs there even an in for me in the tech world or am I just fucked? I'm not looking for a 300k salary job, I'd be fine just making 50-70k, as it would be much easier and better work than I currently do (my full time job I'm making around 28k yearly and my second part time I'm making like 10-14k yearly). I know everyone says "just get certs," but does that really help when all my work experience has nothing to do with tech and I have no schooling beyond my high school diploma? Right now it's either this or trying to find an electrician apprenticeship and get my life turned around, but I'd much rather prefer tech since white collar work sounds better than being surrounded by hispanic drug addicts and drunks all day even if electrician work isn't as bad as most blue collar stuff.Anyone find themselves in a similar position such as me and found a way to make it? I'm also a white man, so I feel like I already am at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to hiring due to all the DEI/H1B/Overseas hiring nowadays.
>>109286340>>109286368Law, medicine, clergy etc. are not perfect field but they are 100000000* times better than tech and corporate culture faggotry. The main thing is you're a professional, in the full sense of the word, and actually get respected and have job stability.Fuck I'd rather be cop or truck driver too. They have more respect and stability than we do. Even academia is slightly better which is saying something with how awful university admin culture is and how shitty faculty are treated. But at least you're teaching and learning real stuff.
>>109286394
>>109286394Don't go into tech. This industry is dogshit
>>109286394>30 no degreeYou have better chance of getting a help desk job with a masters degree & 15 years of experience than you ever did in the past.
>>109286359What makes you think that? What tech software could fail due to Jeet and Kike greed retardation? Plane software is heavily regulated it won't suddenly fail and have plans dropping out of the sky. How often do you think they're updated?
>>109284416>Illiterate retards doing retarded things>>109284428wtf?>>109284912Every three years or so I hit my limit with the corpo bullshit, check out, get fired, and have to spend six months job hunting again.
>>109286409Remember Crowdstrike?Anyway, if you look at government tech spaces in fx Netherlands, people who make decisions are entirely enthralled by the AI scam movement https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-16/eu-india-move-to-expand-ties-beyond-landmark-free-trade-dealNow combine this with jeet “talent” being imported to the US and EU in the millions, and HR roastoids being room temperature iq tech illiterates, and eventually something will fall through to the cracks and cause a critical system failureJust go innawoods atp
>>109284937Damn I work for a rural msp and barely do anything. Most of the time I'm just being paid $30/hr to drive somewhere an hour away. I graduated a year ago. We aren't on call and I comp my hours so like if a big install takes 12 hours one day I just work 4 hours the next one. My rent is $1000 for a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath apartment here. AI still can't pull cables or install a rack or be outsourced to india so I'm pretty good with being equivalent to a car mechanic not an automotive engineer considering the programmers are all losing their jobs en masse to ai (all indians).
>>109286409It won't be planes falling out of the sky (yet), it will be errors in software causing delays, scheduling problems, programs that are shitty to use, worse quality control because they have to rush, shit gets more expensive because of this, security problems. Slow decline in quality like with boeing until we reach Soviet tier ineficiency because everything is owned by 4-5 companies and their cronies.Also>Muh regulationThey mostly exist to prevent smaller competitors arising that can challenge the big monopolists. Government and business are two hands of the same giant.
>>109286394>Is there even an in for me in the tech world or am I just fucked? Maybe not now, but I bet there will be an increase in demand for programmers when companies become aware of how bad vibe-coded apps are.> I'm also a white man, so I feel like I already am at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to hiring due to all the DEI/H1B/Overseas hiring nowadays.That's a myth. Vast majority of people in the tech industry are white. You can look up the stats at the bureau of labor website.
>Offer call>They offer me 20k less than what I asked>Ask for 15k of that at least>They cut the call

Any tips on handing layoffs to underlings without burning bridges?
>>109286651Yeah make someone else do it lolmao
>>109286651You're burning bridges regardless. Being afraid of laying off people is the first step of a failing company.
>>109286657I am that someone else :(

>>109286724You will seriously regret it. Chances are you will get the boot 6 months after joining.
