Readit NewsAt startups you negotiate for equity instead of salary but a lot of the same advice applies.
I have 5+ years experience at a no name place and can’t even get an interview anywhere. Maybe my resume is shit but I’ve tried many different versions with no luck in the last 4-5 months.
“ Final Thought (as a CEO):
I wouldn’t force a full return unless data showed a clear business case. Culture, performance, and employee sentiment would all guide the decision. I’d rather lead with transparency, flexibility, and trust than mandates that could backfire.
Would you like a sample policy memo I’d send to employees in this scenario?”
A better, more reasonable CEO than the one I have. So I’m looking forward to AI taking that white collar job especially.
I mean seriously, if a malicious saboteur was running things, what would the differences be?
The simple reality is that US will need to go through a period of pain to correct some of those excesses. It will not be fun for anyone, which is why there is so much effort put forth to kick can down the road.
And the part that really gets me is that congress is discussing cutting taxes, fed is being pressured to lower rates.. as if all those things were not at least a factor in the mess we are in now.
Not only are we already in a bad place with government spending/debt given the new world of high interest rates. We’re just going to blow many trillions of dollars worth of new holes in the budget.
Then throw in the endless tariff stupidity and it’s all just bad, bad, bad.

It's 2000, Bill Clinton is about to wrap up his second term and has deported more people in that term than any president ever at nearly 7,000,000 deportations. Trump barely had 2,000,000 deportations in his first term. Trump's first term was the lowest level of deportations for any administration since Carter. Obama, Reagan, Both Bushes, Clinton and Biden all deported more people every term of their administrations.
This has been going on for a long time. I doubt Trump will beat Clinton's 2nd term. I'd be willing to bet on it if anyone wants to take the other side.
There is so much lack of context in all these discussions. The 'Maryland Man' that everyone is extremely concerned about was first deported by Obama admin in 2009. Remigration is an ugly business, but it has to happen if you want to live in a sovereign nation under the rule of law.
Voters across the political spectrum have made it unmistakably clear — in poll after poll — that they are deeply dissatisfied with the current rate of illegal and asylum-seeking entries.
Is there a morally permissible way to enact their will?
Going too slow for you? Hire more immigration judges, which are executive employees not full article 3 judges.
Voters across the political spectrum have made it clear in poll after poll the last few weeks that they do not approve of the way this administration is grabbing whoever they can and shipping them out of the country without any check or verification that they are deporting the right people.
If the administration can declare you an illegal immigrant with no due process they can ship anyone they want out of the country. They could grab you off the street, ship you to and El Salvador torture prison intentionally or by mistake (as they have already admitted to) and there’s nothing you can do about it.
That and term 1 Trump really was basically what was left of the Republican establishment running things while Trump did his reality TV show presidency.
So people wrongly assumed the same people would be there to stop him from driving the country off a cliff.
Most things that women find attractive in men are not things that are easily highlighted via a few photos and a bio unless you’re in the top tiers of physical attractiveness. And outside of dating apps women don’t generally prioritize physical attractiveness to the same degree men do. But dating apps put that front and center as the main criteria for matches.
I’m happily married to someone I started dating after almost a year of being in the same game night group and there’s no way we would have ever connected over the apps, because you’re not going to easily connect over shared humor and compatible personality on the apps.
If you want actual meaningful social interactions online, it needs to be small-scale and completely useless for advertisers. Group chats are that.

Maybe someone will create some enlightened LLM based algorithm that solves the engagement optimization problem but what we have now has proven to be pretty disastrous through many iterations.
Small scale group chats/discord servers are the clear solution right now. Which is sad in some ways because the question then becomes how do you find your way into a good group chat.
But it’s the only way for the sane to not be overwhelmed by the engagement farming, political nonsense, and what Noah Smith calls the “shouting class” of people that have nothing else to do in life but dominate these platforms by stirring up drama all day every day.
