@Stahesh Boomers got higher paying jobs with a good handshake.
Now we have to compete against people all over the world, and AI.
Now you see why I was so upset when I lost all my clients.
I CAN'T WAIT until I never need a job again
Getting replaced isn't my issue.
It's the misaligned workplace incentives are.
1. Higher ups will actively sabotage you and refuse to promote you if you're good at your job because they feel threatened.
2. Companies will not give raises commensurate with inflation so you have to job hop to get a raise even if you like the company▶️
@basedbagel @Stahesh
i solved that entire situation by being a contractor, depending on the area you can even have your own small business.
That means I get hired to actually work and do the hard part or try to fix the shitstorm after it hits the fan. I never get to coast along though - so it's a trade-off.
Many "colleagues" can't do that because they either need a monthly stable income, are scared of being unemployed or negotiating high rates or are ok with just doing the bare minimum daily.

3. No matter how intelligent, productive l, and diligent you are they WILL promote some DEI bitch over you. (In my field it's not so much racially biased but they LOVE pushing females)
I always thought it was just me until I started my business and cut my workday by 1/3 and got just as much work done without braindead middle management on my dick.
It's unacceptable that I had an easier time starting a business than getting an ENTRY level job
