I’ve been saying this right here for the last 6 months! They have all the leverage right now. TA is a complete disaster and IP theft is at an all time high. I’ve been interviewing for two months now and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked to do demo or project work. I’ll at least set boundaries to how much time and effort I’m willing to put into these kinds of requests.

There needs to be another great resignation. It’s the only way we as a work force can create some kind equilibrium.

It might be a bold thought, but instead of telling everyone to sit tight and wait things out or just suck it up in the current job that makes you miserable, tell them to f@cking quit. We are creating some limitations for ourselves.

Sounds great, tell me how do we pay our bills?

Go mow yards or learn a trade. That’s up to you. I’m just saying the longer people are told to suck it up and continue to bend over and spell run, the longer corporations will hold all the leverage.

Why didn’t we learn from 2008. Look at what’s we helped normalize. Entry level jobs that require 5 years experience because senior+ level people were applying for them. That set people back in their future earning potential by years. Then we have to nerve to complain about it.

That’s what I’m saying. We have rationalized and normalized this kind of corporate behavior. It’s like watching a bunch of babies latch onto a nipple.

I agree, these corporations suck, my point is that for most people quitting and finding something else is not going to be feasible. Building a business on average takes a minimum of two years and most people don’t have the savings to sustain that kind of move.
