> Have you considered that the bitterness that drips out of your posts here might be part of the reason you're having trouble finding work? Bitterness? Have you considered that you're reading my posts wrong? Having a different political opinion than you does not equate to bitterness. No - I'm not bitter at all. And as I've made quite clear on linkedin, I want nothing to do with an employer who tries to strong arm me out of my freedom of speech and expression, so I wouldn't work for the likes of you. > I don't know what you're like in person Correct you don't. I'm awesome.

        I have never even thought who was replacing me or worried about my job being replaced by “foreigners”. I’ve had 10 jobs over almost 30 years and I’ve been laid off twice - once when a company got acquired and once this year and I got Amazoned last year. It’s never taken me more than a month to get a job once I started looking. I kept my skill set and resume up to date, always prepared to interview and I have a great network. Yes I am a minority and I’m damn good at what I do - strategic cloud consulting with an emphasis on application development. Yes I’ve worked for a FAANG (direct hire). Trust me, companies didn’t just hire me either at BigTech or a strategic hire at startups or to lead million dollar+ projects because I’m Black.

        Good to know. Thanks for your feedback. It certainly isn't fun to hire, train and then be replaced by foreigners. Going years without being hired is especially difficult. Being raised poor, white, hyper religious, kept out of college and forced to teach myself everything from high-school onward made the struggle even harder. I can imagine that being black as you say made your struggles different than mine, but difficult none the less. Keeping ones skills up to date certainly is essential. I too have never worried about foreigners replacing me. I do not have a great network. People most certainly don't hire me solely due to being white. Interestingly, the current issue isn't so much getting hired as it is getting an interview at all. This has started after the rise of chatgpt. No one has bothered to ask me what the issue is and has instead jumped to conclusions which I'm personally quite entertained by. As I said in my original post: my situation is unique. (Edited some words for clarification)

  Thanks. Having a "bitter taste" in this metaphorical sense does not necessarily mean that a person is inherently bitter. I am not a "bitter" human. Nor would I say any of my posts are "dripping" in bitterness, as Schnitzer claimed. But again - if someone wants to pass on a hire because of that post, be my guest. I wouldn't want to work for such a petty individual.

    These people are just suffering from ODD right now. They can't handle a world-view that makes them bad or evil, and so they will do anything they can to make you look evil/crazy/unhinged/depressed or bitter.

      I believe thst it's just socially inept trolls who don't like my political statement. They're demonstrating their lack of ability to judge character - basing their whole assessment of my personality on alleged red flags in a few sentences that were made in response to their backhanded "advice". Typical internet incel behavior. I am not deterred.

      I exclusively hire US citizens physically located here. Try again.

      Its quite strange. I'm being piled on for saying that I support American workers over immigrants (which is literally Trump's position) and I am accused of being bitter. I'm actually doing great considering. Would love to have a job, but if society won't allow me, then I'll simply use the system and continue building video games, not my fault. Blame Elon etc.
