I think that you should work with companies you align well with. It is good for your well-being, your self-respect and eventually your career, but also it's good for the company too. Not sure what you find so controversial here

It's not about functioning it's about integrity. As a manager you represent the company, and you represent the decisions. If you are not able to do it sincerely, you either do what the author describes or you go somewhere that ali

Ideally if a manager cannot stand behind what the company is doing barring minor or temporary disagreements, they leave. That's what I've seen the best managers doing before - not sure how it works in the current market though

How are cities and states pressuring companies?

To actually measure efficacy of any measures, you need to implement them in isolation. It is really hard to evaluate how working from home is affecting productivity while simultaneously doing mass layoffs and pushing people to replace their

But it's absolutely essential that you chat with HR and sales people at the coffee machine!

If only there was a way to communicate remotely.

US doesn't seem to be such a country though?

I wonder if it can be a genuine attempt to save positions. E.g. the board might be asking why they keep remote employees in the US instead of letting them go and hiring in a cheaper location

Isn't it possible to just not give people severance packages?

Can't wait for this to be consumed by LLMs.

I mean, if it reads like that, if probably wasn't meant for you. Which is fine, internet has a lot of content for the most obscure niches

Do you think US companies decide whom to hire for no reason? Not being available for interviews locally, not speaking English natively and needing a visa sponsorship already puts you at disadvantage compared to the local talent. If they sti

It doesn't have to be as dramatic as companies loudly announcing they are moving abroad - US is in a different political era indeed. But it sure will affect the decisions on where companies grow their headcount and where they shrink it

We have the talent in Europe, they are just paid peanuts. If moving to the US was not an option, the balance on the labour market would be even worse (for the said talent).

The conditions look like the only requirement is being a professional with college degree. I am an immigrant (not to US though), so looking from this standpoint. If I wanted to move to the US, H1B would be a pretty straightforward way for m

US has the highest salaries for software engineers in the world. If this is what suppressed salaries look like, then what do you think they should be paying? I think if the labour pool is further restricted by measures like this one, it can

Not for tech workers from these countries though.

Fallacy of grey, now I know how is it is called. I see it used by C++ programmers to dismiss Rust a lot. Nobody claims that Rust is a perfect language, the argument is that Rust is a better language than C++.

Rust is a systems programming language, it was absolutely designed with the second use case in mind.

If frontend has finally settled on something, I am really happy for frontend devs. Changing frameworks every year should be really tiresome and hardly deserves to be called innovation

And if you have enough young people, which Europe does not.

Well, unless we manage to reverse the trend I guess.

Maybe they will. Or maybe they will use the power of their economies to figure out a solution while Europe downshifts into complete irrelevance

Everyone will see how well Europe is doing as a result and follow our lead for sure

What if we leave our children an impoverished Europe and a world dominated by authocraties?
