You guys I just had an epiphany.
I applied to >1,000 jobs for MONTHS to get my 1st job after UNI.
I sent out ~100 proposals to get my 1st client who I still work with to this day.
This market is SO TRASH that I had an easier time getting a client than getting a job.
Let that sink in.
@basedbagel With internet it has same problem as dating market.
Now you can get people that are specially filtered for specific requirements.
I for few day watched this guy he talks about. How the job market is bad
@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
@basedbagel @Stahesh
If you are working on a job that can be replaced with AI or low iq niggers, the issue is your profession. Most professions I know are actually becoming more valuable, specially if you're intelligent, productive and have a good work ethic.
Just look around, almost everyone is borderline retarded. The labor shortage is gonna get a lot worse, the business that can operate with minimal overhead will inherit the economy.
If you wanna advice, let us know what area you're in.
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▶️
I do not get why companies have middle management to tell you how to do your job.
When they have zero skill or any knowledge how to do your job
Not to mention they get often better pay than you. When you are the reason they make the money
LIke if this person can´t do the job without somebody checking on him every 5 min. Why the f you would hire them
This is why I like night shifts where managment is not present and everybody can do job in peace
Lol that shirt is TOO accurate.
The reason is that A players hire A players and b players hire c players.
A players are expensive and are more likely to leave. Also companies ❤️ hooking up their B-/C player buddies with a job.
After all who wants to spend 8 hrs working w/ folks you dislike?
These B/C players promote people dumber than them not to threaten their position and join up their C/D- player buddies.
And thats how you end up with this toxic mess we have today
@Stahesh @basedbagel
Personally, the only use I found for project/middle managers are:
- They can find someone for me in the company that I don't know but need to talk to
- They go into useless meetings that I would otherwise have to attend
- When someone is trying to push an unrelated task to me or my team, I always direct them to discuss it in a meeting with the manager
So, basically, it's like an intern I don't have to train
@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
