That job you can't be fired from, that ensures employment as long as you want? It's in the public sector.
But Republicans especially and Americans generally are allergic to the public sector.
So really you want that lucrative highly competitive job without the competition.
If after 20 years at a company at 45 years old some kid from a developing countries is better than you at your job that's on you.
- ok_coo 4y agoAgreed, I see plenty of tech jobs in the public and non-profit sectors. Problem is that they're not paying what would be considered acceptable to a big tech worker. I saw a 20-something on TikTok saying that she feels like her compensation should be ~500K/year. That's a rate at our org where you're talking about multiple exec salaries combined. It's not based in reality for the vast majority of the country. This feels a bit like golden handcuffs.

- psychphysic 4y agoOnce you realise it's just a more palatable social security system you see why governments don't care about its shortcomings.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> That job you can't be fired from, that ensures employment as long as you want? It's in the public sector. No, its not. You can be fired from public sector jobs. Many of them (outside of high level ones, e.g., where you are or serve at the pleasure of some elected official) have due process protections, but people can and do get fired from even those.
