Just thinking about all the roles I’ve interviewed for across from someone with 2 yoe asking a version of an A* algorithm implementation for web development. Sounds like a decent place!

It’s a bad thing for everyone who depends on the company for their livelihood. The company that decided to hire them, the management that used their headcount to justify a higher valuation. People are burning out, working the jobs of 3 peop

It only takes a few people missing an exit and swerving to create a bunch of traffic. So many people are used to not navigating manually anymore I can’t imagine it doesn’t have a big effect.

Haven’t worked in 2 years due to having to take a leave of absence for early life trauma that I desperately needed to process to be healthy. Just now coming back in and it seems I can’t get my resume past an ATS HR system if I’m not current

Yes. Any yellow flags are instant rejections even with referrals right now in my experience. Had to take time off for health and getting nearly no hits with 10yoe and a good resume.

All those taxes are already being paid. It’s to ensure that the contract worker gets worse insurance and next to no benefits and therefore costs less, and also so that you can get rid of them whenever you want for someone even cheaper.

It’s a person who commutes from Tracy and lives with 5 other people in a 3 bedroom house and doesn’t have health insurance because they can’t afford the subsidized rate nor the deductible. Their mask is impenetrable and only drops once they

Red badges and the equivalent elsewhere make up an astounding amount of who actually works at most major companies. They’re the poor and working class to the gentry (FTEs) and the elites (FTE executives). They’re paid 50% of what their cont

I don’t think the working world is at any risk of going too extreme at valuing employees. It is the exception which is why we’re even talking about it. Their promotion process probably has more to do with product fragmentation as anything.

Goodness yes. Your relationships literally are your career at small startups. Your reputation means everything. Not to mention the nepotism and the privilege - the people with truckloads of money meeting for dinners afterwards while those w

Slack sold to salesforce and became a corporate product suite. The purpose is to do integrations with as many things as possible so that you get locked in, and easy billing between your company and salesforce. It is a business angle not a p

Right but it’s also debt that doesn’t need to be incurred, which puts people way behind the starting line, especially when the student loans come due and people can’t afford to pay for a house

Personally I don’t think it’s ideal that people who are going into less lucrative but still incredibly important societal roles should have to give up the ability to have basic needs like stable housing met because the cost of getting into

I’d just prefer that companies serve an array of purposes such that it is no longer exclusively about making shareholders as rich as possible. There has to be a better way. If all the actors in an economy act sociopathically, that economy i

Sure, here’s an article related to a study on how the brain stores traumatic memory differently from just last month! https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/neural-patterns-diffe... Also this study related to the neuro

This thread may need an updated title to clarify that this is regarding their mass messaging service. Still wild about it being the lowest common denominator of state laws.

It doesn’t have to be coordinated. It’s often people’s livelihoods being crushed for the benefit of a few investors.

When employees have as much power as employers, there can be a free market. Without some form of employee power structure, that will never happen. Alas - only the very top percentage of employees in top industries can demand practically any

I would always rather be in a union than not. Sometimes unions can be opaque or byzantine especially in older industries, but what is always opaque is management. Having fair pay and time off is something I’d rather not leave to whoever hap

I have never once heard of a problem that QA folks end up in project or product management too often, and almost always have the problem of not being able to escape the QA org despite many years. Most companies are extremely resistant to p

I find it ironic that computer scientists and technologists are frequently uberrationalists to the point of self parody but they get hyped about a technology that is often confidently wrong. Just like the hype with AI and the billions of do

Because important problems (to me, like hunger, health, shelter, etc) tend to cost money rather than make money. To me, most ventures nowadays are about making money more than solving big problems, because the problems have mostly gotten wo

With respect, you said that they are explicitly prevented from suggesting working interventions by their code of ethics, which is an easily falsifiable statement.

Community MH is IMO functionally the same as the public defender system. We do not spend enough on resources to care for populations via this arena. In a ton of ways we treat mental healthcare the same as crime. I'm considering leaving

There’s a shortage of network providers because the network tends to pay peanuts, they mandate the usage of only a few treatment methods that may not be effective for the client, and make actually getting reimbursed a massive administrative

That’s completely false - there is nothing in the code of ethics that precludes sound advice. The reason why a therapist might not reply “stop doing x” is because saying that is ineffective. It’s dramatically understating the complexity of

There’s a few big factors here - one is the amount that insurance will cover is extremely low - experienced psychologists won’t make more than $130 a session on most insurance, regardless of speciality or niche expertise. Medicaid is worse
