Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.
With recent 12k layoffs, have to do more with less. Incredibly stretch goals that are unattainable which makes me think they are using it to justify further layoffs. Recent change in RTO policy = 5 days a week.
Should developers unionize? 🤔 Y or Y not? 100k does not feel like how 100k felt 4-5 years ago TC: Less than UPS workers YOE: WouLdnT yOu LikE 2 KnOw#engineering #engineering #software #swe
The Teamsters have reached a tentative deal with UPS, ahead of what would be the largest strike in modern U.S. history. It would raise minimum pay for part-time workers to $21/hour. Current part-timers would get up to a $1.50/hour additional raise. UPS would also hire 30,000 full-time jobs. The cont...Read more

We need to implement that you have to do the same amount of push-ups as your TC every year. Aka if you earn 100k post tax you have to do 100k push-ups in a year to maintain that TC. If you only do 80k push-ups that year, you have 20k withheld until you do the amount. TC: 220k
Faced with an existential threat to their livelyhood due to Gen Ai the WGA (writers guild of america) and SAG (screen actors guild) have used the limited power that they have strike withhold their labor for the future of workers in their industry. Few understand the threat of AI to specific kinds o...Read more

I shall be joining amazon soon. Do they send monitors for hybrid workers. If not, what am I supposed to be getting from a UPS package billed for 29lbs? #amazon
The more articles like that exist, the people will see a reason to get into the tech industry. People see those articles and instead of majoring in CS, they look into that instead. This is good news. We need to do anything to desaturate this industry and keep people away. Whatever it takes. When pe...Read more
What do you all think of mandatory recurring stock grants *in addition to* a livable wage for all employees of publicly traded companies? I'm mostly talking about Amazon warehouse workers, McDonald's burger flippers, Tesla factory workers, UPS drivers, etc. This way, as the wealth of the company r...Read more
Friend left me a voice mail today. Her husband, co-workers, and higher ups in the food chain got axed today. I think he works for Accenture. She said it was a very large layoff but was not specific on numbers. Haven't been able to reach her. Any one hear about this?
We are all educated people, yet some of us fall for the dumbass "unions lower wages" propaganda. Lets even set aside the fact that unionized workers have a higher median income, and police unions get away with wanton murder. I only ask you to consider this: it doesn't matter what you and I think ab...Read more
I love supporting and working with start ups and small business. If you work at or own a start up. Less than 100 employees and are interested in savings on insurance. Significant savings on auto, home, business, workers compensation, and even pet insurance leave a comment.
So we can shut down everything when management does not agree to our salary demands. Look at what UPS workers achieved through a union. Getting paid 170K for delivering packages that is unskilled manual job. If we don’t form a union, the management will squeeze us more and more to give to these unio...Read more
Seriously, no C-Suite people are providing any real data to back up the need for RTO. In fact, WFH data shows workers are more productive. This is purely an ego thing from C-Suite people. They need to feel like they are powerful. They can’t get that sitting at home. They need workers seeing them in...Read more
