>>539268485Employees have all the power. They need but take it.
>>539268485What do these people even do all day that's so hard? All basic tech infrastructure everywhere is already made and coded. What are they actually working on? The millionth useless Google update that does nothing but make YouTube load worse?

>>539268485So?I can binge on meth and work for 4 days for 14 hours and have razor focus the whole timeI have always wanted to work in biotech and this filters the brainless idiots that can't understand the severity of their actions.
>>539268638Complex systems used by hundreds of millions or billions of people get very complex bugs to fix, where the consequences for failing to fix them or fixing them wrong can be very expensive. And at that scale, if even 0.01% of users encounter the bug, it's still thousands of people. This is why these dudes get paid so much, or at least they used to.
>>539268571you don't get it. they aren't even fucking necessary or won't be very soon. if they own nothing they have nothing >>539268529either this or produce energy to trade or your own food because there's nothing needed from you otherwise.
>>539268485This is employers retaliating for employees having too much power in their view in 2020-21. Also tech employers have long resented the high earning power of software engineers and tried to figure out way to fuck them over by importing Indians, outsourcing to Indians and now the new meta is trying to replace them with AI. Disgusting behaviour.
>>539268698What can I say? Horse breeders in 1912 were pissed, too.If employees are useful and required for the business to function, then they can hold the power
>>539268741If it can be encoded then you can brake the code and then use cheat codes.Get bent retard.You think you aren't standing on the shoulders of titans?
>>539268804take your meds dumbass
>>539268567amen to that
>>539268485Im an opportunist so yeah
>>539268485>startup working hours...Startups... in 2026... in the current economy... mmm I am calling this bullshit only a suicidal idiot would settle for a startup job with the AI bubble.
>>539268638>What do these people even do all day that's so hard?A very very complicated version of digging holes and then filling them back in. Then their company shills it as production to financial markets under the hope printed money fomo’s in.
>>539268485>Techbros get fuckedKek.
>>539268822I just speedballed last week I need to take a break from the ice and snow
>>539268638I dont know about these adult daycare tech companies in America, but in general the situation in tech is bad, there are a lot of unemployed engineers with good Resumes going around, and its global, its happening everywhere.As there are few positions available the companies are using it as leverage to make working conditions harsher because developers are now unwilling to resign due to an all time high job insecurity in tech.
>>539268485>this is the polar opposite of 2021>the consequences of all that izzat farming, job hopping every 2 months for ever higher salaries and compensation packages finally came to roostGood riddance. Fucking morons. I hope they put a huge chunk of their salary away for their future at the very least and didn't blow it all as it came in on toys and "culinary experiences."
>>539269441Prior to 2020, tech companies coddled their employees and did everything imaginable to pamper them, bonuses, snacks, nice facilities. After 2020, they seem to have developed a guttural hatred of their workforce and are doing anything possible to replace them with cheaper labor (Indians) or AI. Unclear why this is.
>>539268691Yeah they always use bullshit excuses exactly like this but what do they actually DO? I know how coding works, I know it can be fucking hard to fix things sometimes, but what sort of bug would be so demanding that you'd unironically pretend you're being worked hard ALL DAY when you're still ultimately sitting there in a comfy chair in front of a computer monitor?
>>539269621Its not that hard.The issue is that there are hundreds of lines of code and not all debugging programs may find itBut acting like bug smashing is hard because nobody enforced proper documentation is anyone's fault but the asshole looking for job security
>>539269504Because the demand for coders droped dramatically, think about it... do you need new tech? I mean do you need a new streaming platform? new porn-site? new chat-bot app? a new crypto? another failed metaverse? a new reddit? a new chat app? a new email provider?when you analize the market 10 years ago the tech sector demand stagnated and trended downwards, that is why when AI was "the current thing" all companies jumped to it, not because it was trendy but because the companies were losing contracts.Corporate contractors is even worse, companies are no longer spending large sums of money in new software, ERP software is becoming more mature and you dont need another salesforce.On top of that windows is releasing low-code tools like power-automate and power-builder so that any retard can code or make pipelines using the windows cloud environment.The era of software developers being the corner-stone of tech is fading, we will still be around and those good enough will keep the job, but the demand is decreasing every year, all that needed to be coded has already been coded, no need for new tech. So in that regard tech stagnated.
>>539269504>Unclear why this is.It's not the whole story but a decent amount of it has to do with stock package vesting schedules. They want to show the number and quality of their workforce to signal that there are good things on the horizon for the company to drive stock prices ever upward for when people in high level management and above have all their shares vested or released. But obviously once they're released and have been sold off the stockprice is nolonger any concern to them resulting in them often fucking off and the new guy coming in and having to tighten the belt to pull the company out of the nose dive it was set on when all any of the now gone executives cared about was the appearance of a positive trajectory.A perfect example of this dynamic in action at multiple levels, especially if you know anything about the gaming sphere, is Bungie. If you look into the legal action between Bungie inc and Marty O'Donnell, that basically established the blueprint for what they would do to any employee who climbed through the ranks and got anywhere near having their stock packages fully vested. The more recent bit of trouble they're finding themselves in post Sony acquisition relates to the "appearance of a positive trajectory" thing I previously mentioned.
>>539269855That's a pretty believable explanation. Amazon even started heavily backloading their stock packages to mostly vest after two years, knowing the average employee tenure was less than two years, so they would never have to pay out most of the stock packages. Deeply cynical, anti-employee behaviour.Also another speculated reason for the tech industry rotting is that Amazon and Meta are basically training camps for managers to become evil sociopaths. A lot of those people have been fired or left and sought employment elsewhere. But they bring the mercenary, hateful quasi-cigarette company culture with them and end up ruining wherever they go to. Those people are pretty widely dispersed across the industry now and have probably soured the culture of dozens or even hundreds of companies by now.
>>539269621I've worked one of these jobs before, you get a pile of really vague error reports, get told it's costing X million per day and are let loose trying to find the issue. And you have to dig logs, analytics, databases, to find the root cause and do it under time pressure. And it might be an issue that only occurs in one country, non-determininistically, or maybe only on one kind of browser or phone device. Repeat every day. I'm not saying the compensation is warranted, but it's not an easy job and people burn out quickly.AI has made this kind of thing much easier, but it used to be a lot of grinding manual slog.
>>539268485Why do people even work? I don't understand wanting to slave away every day. I'm 40 and never worked a day in my life.
AI is only gouging web devs rest of tech is fine.
>>539268638Ai slot machines have to go brrrrrrr. Round and round they go with flashy lights, images and texts.
>>539269504Globohomo jews realized tech was an easy ticket to the upper middle class so they had to put an end to it.
>>539270063> AI has made this kind of thing much easier,And yet worker drones are working even moar. Discrepancy.
>>539268485Fake news; 996 is a Chinese thing, not a silicon valley thing
>>539268664Never methd. Take 30mg Adderall and it does very little anymore. I also see a world not worth saving, no mystery to anything. Things are worse than they seem even here, it's not doompilled, people are becoming unnecessary to the largely unseen monied class
>>539269504Millennials suck. No real empathy just power fantasies. We haven't even begun to see "brutal" in Big Tech.
>>539268485Techbro massacre is the only good thing that's happened post covid I can think of. Pure schadenfreude.
>>539268485>muh 996!In China this includes a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day. Still brutal, it not the 72 hours everyone pretends it is
>>539276469lol yeah. they are required to be IN the office but the work is hardly work. food delivery, drinks breaks, gossip. 5 simultaneous group chats on weixin. when a chinese says they are busy it just means they are under the control of someone else, not that they are working
