@ContrarianSaver Though some will see it as weakness tbh. People don’t want to believe those judgments are out there but people will judge you for just about anything even if they won’t admit it
lots of people calling bullshit. if only it were so. hard to accept a narrative violation. if the doordasher knew how little the guy in the mcmansion actually worked, there would be blood in the streets
I'm 38.
At this point of my life/career, I have so many friends working corporate W2 jobs making $200-400K/year (mostly in NYC/NJ/PA corridor) who just don't actually work that much.
One friend makes $250K as a manager at a biotech... all he does is send pictures of his chicken coop or other DIY projects all day during the week.. no idea what value he actually provides his company.
Then there's my "jiggler" friend who you might recall... guy makes $250-300K and just plugs a "mouse jiggler" into his laptop and just goes to the gym, homeschools his kids, tans, does yard work... all day. I ask him what he does and he can't even articulate it...
Another friend makes $150K at a remote startup and just travels around the world all the time... don't ask don't tell situation on where people are at any given time... but does seemingly little actual work.. maybe 1 hour a day.
This is truly what's going on out there... BS W2 jobs all over the place. And AI is a bubble?
Really?
@kylecordes@vrexec for sure - and I have to believe some of it is by design, especially at some of these SaaS orgs where the lock in / switching costs are so high. most of the time I don't blame the customer facing person as they are just a cog in a machine designed to limit changes
@kylecordes@vrexec nothing reveals this more than when you are directly accountable for something a vendor you rely on indirectly influences or controls and you try to get any kind of change to happen. the quagmire of incompetence at these places is staggering
@Arthursoldman@buccocapital lol nothing would make me happier but until then, these morons won’t get promoted for regurgitating whatever the free version of gpt spit out
@Chudfish14921 lefties think they are informed because they compare their "enlightened" thought process to the noise spewing from their aging parents and see themselves as superior
@Chudfish14921 right leaning folks refusing to acknowledge the damage the boomer parents who only consume and repeat Fox news talking points of the week are doing to the overall brand is a losing strategy
@mhp_guy It took many years of pain before owners finally accepted my insistence on excel proof of concepts before any software tool purchases. 99% of perceived problems are just lacking a dedicated place to write shit down.
@CostaKapo@SteveOnSpeed I swear they think the last decade and a half of their career should be a free ride. Don’t they know how unhirable most of them are if they get axed?
@OnlyCFO time to vibe code a universal tool that takes spreadsheet information and plugs it in to vibe coded tools. but it can wait for after happy hour
