> creating a crisis for recruiters
Weird angle. Isn't the actual story the high levels of burnout in developers, rather than the inconvenience this creates for recruiters? The article is more balanced, but why lead with this?
- willcipriano 4y agoRecruiters are just barely part of the managerial class so they are more easily emphasized with by others in that class.
- ok123456 4y ago"Won't someone please think of the recruiters!"
- altdataseller 4y agoI know a few recruiters who made close to $1 million in fees in the past few years. I dont feel sorry for most of them
- mym1990 4y agoProbably not a great representation for the whole field in general.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoReminds me of; ‘Loads of men are killed in war, women most affected’
- georgeecollins 4y agoOr more commonly: Stocks decline today on news of unemployment. I sure feel sad for those stocks.
- rob74 4y agoActually, when a company announces layoffs, its stock tends to rise (unless it's in such a bad shape that even major "cost cutting" can't make the punters more optimistic).
- joshlemer 4y agoOr "no damage to car after cyclist killed in traffic accident"
- trinsic2 4y agoLOL
- cjbgkagh 4y agoI cringe every time I hear people celebrate the price of housing going up. Due to financialization we have an economy predicated on the necessities of life becoming increasingly expensive. I fantasize about the opposite; ubiquitous low cost quality housing available to even the most destitute. Sometimes I feel we're in Idiocracy and we're watering plants with Brawndo and wondering why the crops are dying.
- slg 4y agoI have never heard of worklife.news before, but it seems to be a site more targeted at managers, recruiters, HR folks, and the like. Not surprising or even necessarily bad that they would frame a headline to highlight the story's connection to its audience.
- vkou 4y agoI mean, if this were real, and this actually created a 'crisis' for recruiters, then this would be a great thing for them. Given that hiring is slowing down, and all.
- NikolaNovak 4y agoWell; a both cynical and charitable take: We the techies do fun techie things in the service of business. As such, developer burnout is a proxy impact, and inability of business to advance business goals is a final impact :-/. (Basically, daily I'm training my ops managers team that when they update directors/executives, impact is not "Process XYZ inadvertently set up flag ABC on table QEW due to lockwait timeout", but "300 employees had their union dues incorrectly deducted" )

- trinsic2 4y agoI was thinking the very same thing. I like how they diverted the problem away from the real issue to benefit them - sarcasm.
