Yep, that's been 100% my experience. I don't know what a "brogrammer" is, only that apparently I am one and they are scum. And I've been here for 3 years. It's been getting worse; two years ago people would at least talk to me for more than a few minutes at a time. One year ago people would grudgingly give me a chance, but you could see them clocking out once tech stuff came up.
This year, the resentment is palpable. And I'm so tired of putting in so much and ... I just can't do this anymore.
- lawnchair_larry 9y agoCan you blame them? You took their homes. I would resent anybody who took my home.
- leggomylibro 9y agoYes, I can. I didn't take shit; I don't own property, and at this rate, their precious houses are in no danger from me. So mission accomplished; congratufuckinglations. And I'll bet you dislike Trump's anti-immigration policies, to boot. So do I, but unlike people here I put my money where my mouth is.
- jacalata 9y agoWhat is that even supposed to mean? You donated money to immigrants, maybe? Unlike what you imagine other Seattlites do? Also, it's silly to think that you'd have to own a house to be part of the "taking their homes" equation.
- lawnchair_larry 9y agoI'm not sure why you made it about me. Every tech worker in Seattle and SF is able to afford the very high rents in those cities while the local population cannot. They are absolutely being pushed out by the influx of these people who are raising the pricing floor.
