I am no fan of cryptowhatever, but how are you any better?
- smt88 4y agoOur customers are unable to hire enough analysts to work as Excel jockeys, even at $160k+/year salaries. Most of them have at least 5 job posts up for analysts at any given time. Our software automates the tedious parts of what analysts do, so our customers can take down their unfilled job openings and make their analysts happier. It's not saving the world or even making the world a better place, but it's a software business that does what software is supposed to do: automate work that humans can't or won't do.
- nurettin 4y agoAt least at Facebook they don't have to rationalize taking over jobs and destroying lives through automation.
- smt88 4y agoPretty dramatic! All software eliminates jobs. If a computer does something that used to take humans thousands of hours, jobs disappear. The question is whether those were jobs people wanted or needed. In our case, the answer is no. Our clients are extremely traditional and would prefer to throw more people at these problems rather than adopt software. The only reason they're talking to us now is because people are quitting these jobs and they can't find anyone to hire to do them. We've never eliminated a job, but even if we did, these are Ivy League accountants, often from wealthy backgrounds. They're all going to be fine. One of them just quit our client's company without a job lined up, just because she hated the Excel work so much.
- nurettin 4y agoHaha good times. Anyway, to feign moral superiority is despicable. I will make sure to filter this kind of person while hiring.
