The masks have finally fallen.
Vote with your labor and be willing to change immediately jobs (that is why remote is great). If you did not like what the manager said in a random meeting quit on the spot, find another job online. No more notice courtesies.
It's gonna be great.
- hasty_pudding 3y agoThere's going to be no tech jobs in America is what's going to happen. That's where this is headed.
- whatever1 3y agoYeah this is what Amazon said about warehouse employees and now they have to pay them $25 per hour and offer free tuition programs in addition to fat sign up bonuses. Workers have the power. They just need to remember it.
- hasty_pudding 3y agoWarehouses have locality. Digital jobs dont.
- whatever1 3y agoI don't see OpenAI hiring for the digital jobs of engineering and research in Slovakia or Thailand. Weird, they probably missed the memo.
- hasty_pudding 3y agoOpen AI pays $800,000 a year salary for highly specialized machine learning engineers. Way different than the bread and butter jobs most of the tech industry consists of. Open AI has maybe a thousand jobs out of millions of jobs in the tech industry. I wouldn't say its a good sample.
- taopai 3y agoWhy? You think they'll outsource work to foreign countries?
- KeplerBoy 3y agoWhy would they continue to hire in the most expensive labor market?
- whatever1 3y agoBecause it also happens to be the best talent pool. And because US happens to be the market that every company dreams to dominate.
- billy99k 3y agoThey have already started outsourcing to Canada at 60% of the cost. One of my clients outsources all large projects to a company in Ukraine (The HQ is there, but the developers are in other parts of Europe). The time zone isn't too bad, their English/communication is nearly perfect, and it's at a fraction of the cost here in the US. A large year-long project that I was the tech lead on that involved moving our legacy systems to a brand-new system (this includes all of the coding, etc) cost the company around $90,000. There were 10 devs on staff.

There were 10 devs on staff. Sounds like complete BS. Even just taking in salaries, that's $9K/year/dev - even living in Ukraine you would make more than that. If you've moved out of the country and are in Poland for example, that's not a livable wage.
- BazookaMusic 3y agoThey were probably not full time on that project. Since it's a contracting company, contractors can be assigned to many projects.
