Sure, if you think about it, layoffs are actually good for employees career growth and the chocolate ration went up to 20 grammes per week.

TLDR but i searched the linked page for america and the only mention is a theory, no proof: "In 1930 Austrian-American economist Gottfried Haberler detached the doctrine of comparative advantage from Ricardo's labor theory of valu

Europe has great employee protection but it is not always this panacea either everywhere. When I worked in Paris, I started at 10 am (to avoid rush hour on the subway), but rarely left before 7 or 8 (instead of 6) and it wasn't uncommo

That's rough. Hope you find the job you need soon. I wish money management was taught in schools. My family didn't have money so how were they supposed to teach me about compound interests. And those growing up in money may not re

I've learnt this lesson the hard way recently. I dislike my projects failing and missing deadlines. So in addition to pushing back against unrealistic expectations, I caught other people's dropped balls and filled the gaps of un-b

I was so surprised when I realized stat holidays were paid as a % of the previous 30 days salary in canada.

Clients that won't use the docs and need handholding can pay for service: sell them training, and you can use the docs already written as the training material.

uhm, hard disagree. Harassment is the #1 problem blocking helps with but... I block anything the platform suggests to me as a form of protest against it shoving click bait triggering channels in my face. I see this as resisting getting forc

Not sure how the dialog went irl, but if the conversation was that adversarial and with as little diplomacy applied, I'd not hire the person nor accept the role if I was on either side of it...

I think part of it may be they're not saying no until someone else is actually hired just in case they need a fallback, so everyone else gets to wait however long it takes for the role to be filled, most likely...

There's already industries that think you should pay them for the honor to work for them. (at least companies within said industries i worked for, in gaming, luxury, sports... it's not uncommon). I'm surprised they didn'

Same, I was always either able to interview fully remotely or had my trip and hotel paid for even for junior roles.

As someone learning programming with an llm, its 50-50 as to whether it saves or costs me extra time. This is mostly because if i don't know that i'm asking for the wrong thing, the llm won't correct me and provide code that

agreed, last application i sent, i had an informational with the hiring manager. They told me to email them my resume in addition to the official submission process so they can tell HR to find and flag my application for interview. I didn&#

wouldn't poeple just flag everything as their fav 5 and put high numbers of hours not actually spent on the application? unless the system can track all a candidates applications, this seems moot, and if it did track all that yuk no th

I guess the idea is to do this while you are employed so that you already have the connections when you need them. I can't think how anyone finds the energy to do this after a day at work though. You may also build this at work via for

What I find mind blowing is how unqualified people manage to land jobs while qualified people may not even land an interview. How does this even work?

- It can be a side effect to keep your unemployment insurance which is conditional upon proving you are sending applications at a given pace. I'd probably need to apply to random jobs if I qualified for it because there isn't a ro

Rather than what city, I'd say you need to find out what neighbourhoods in each city. I used to take a 1h commute to a community garden for the people there, instead of helping at the utilitarian community garden on my own block. Movin

Sounds like you might be burnt out and could use a break. If you're just roleplaying your belief in success at this point, maybe it shows in your job hunt and is the thing getting in your way. That said it's tough out there and lu

Did you not experience the golden age of ICQ, irc, msn chat? It is absolutely possible to form strong friendships entirely online - it just takes the same amount of time and effort to nourish them. I still have fond memories of friendships

The advantage in France is that friend cohorts are likely moving to Paris roughly at the same time. But moving further out into the suburbs or returning to the province / a city nearer their hometowns to start a family is comparable to

I believed I needed to befriend like-minded people for the longest time, and only recently did I realize that held me back - my closest friendships now are with not so like minded people and they are more fullfilling and stronger than any s

This could now be (partially) solved with remote work.

There was barely enough money to pay for the last week of wages, would you expect employees to volunteer to achieve that? I'm not defending what they did, but doing the work even one more week was not an option afaik. At best they coul
