A friend shared this video with me and "That's what the money is for" has become a regular response to "well, X is a good idea but obviously so-and-so won't want to do it" at my workplace since then. What I'm trying to ask is should I watch the rest of Mad Men or is being aware of this exchange enough

It's an excuse for why the starting salary is poo poo, pay raises are frozen, benefits are bad, and workload is high. Just think of how good everything will get when the company is on solid ground! Just kidding, now we need to streamline and you aren't needed anymore.

the fact that the companies that are hiring the most are also the ones offering the shittiest opportunities does not fill me with confidence in the industryNotorious b.s.d. posted:software has a very low cost of goods sold (COGS), which makes it appealing as an asset to own or sell to others i just kinda get the sense that the "everyone needs engineers there are so many positions and so few people to fill them!!!" line everyone's spewing is exaggerated

If your vision doesn’t include retirement before age 65 then this job is not for you! like, what does this even mean? instead of paying people more they invest money into startups that keep failing? edit: i think i reading this wrong the first time but it still sounds silly Shaman Linavi fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Mar 19, 2018 |
