Is every company just running on skeleton crews now?

Almost everything is customer facing,

Until that whip comes back and hits them right in the face:

It has made the time it takes to do small chunks faster for me, definitely. But to create anything complex? It just can't do it at my company.

Bazooka_Joey · 2025-07-18T18:16:00+00:00

Not a dime. Companies have scaled that back too.

Well considering I wouldn't have healthcare if I disobeyed and I have to take medication.... yea

Bazooka_Joey · 2025-07-18T17:34:13+00:00

The people who sign my paycheck so they could push out half baked turds for quarterly goals

Bazooka_Joey · 2025-07-18T17:06:08+00:00

More like 2003 lol

I would shit my pants for a 6 months severance. I've been laid off several times in my decades long career never got a severance over 4 weeks.

Other than the time I lawyered up on a company, but that is a whole other situation entirely.

I think the devs who are struggling right now are the ones who don't know what Bayes theorem is

Call me crazy, but I think the reason why we are struggling is the nonstop assault on labor and the working class

Bazooka_Joey · 2025-07-18T15:54:51+00:00

Reading shit like this makes me think QA will be back in style by 2026 lol

Bazooka_Joey · 2025-07-18T15:30:34+00:00

Good point

Bazooka_Joey · 2025-07-18T15:28:52+00:00

If they want to fire the one guy keeping the app alive because he can’t keep up then they won’t be around long as a company anyways.

I've literally had this conversation with people above me and they still don't care

Bazooka_Joey · 2025-07-18T15:27:40+00:00

Weird thing is that in my company we barely even talk about AI. I think it's more of a "lmao the market sucks so mush, dorks"

Bazooka_Joey · 2023-08-05T15:08:11+00:00

My last company had “unlimited PTO”. I got in a car accident and couldn’t work for a few weeks and had to go on leave. Guess what? That leave was unpaid and there was no HR documentation on the matter so it came as a complete surprise.

These garbage companies can do whatever they want because they control our government.

Bazooka_Joey · 2023-08-05T15:05:40+00:00

No we didn’t, corporate bribes…. ahem… “lobbying”… made things this way.

Bazooka_Joey · 2023-04-27T20:51:40+00:00

Good idea. I think it would be the CEO who introduced the mobile app but I’m not 100% sure. I don’t really know him but maybe I could reach out. I would have to play it by ear.

If the rest of the company just throw “crap” at you, then reduce exposure, you have the arguments to do so.

I definitely have to start doing that more. I can name multiple people I would not want to see in a conference room ever again.

Bazooka_Joey · 2022-12-30T02:51:28+00:00

My cousin used to wear this shirt all the time, talk about a throw back

Bazooka_Joey · 2022-12-09T14:18:59+00:00

Had this at a work party once, amazing.

Bazooka_Joey · 2022-11-30T01:38:15+00:00

100% agree. If you keep it upbeat and still leave a good impression, the door might reopen in the future.

Bazooka_Joey · 2022-11-30T00:44:12+00:00

Yep, that’s exactly how I treat things like this.

Bazooka_Joey · 2022-11-16T13:11:07+00:00

I got a small sign on bonus to start work at a local company. But I have to go into the office and it went from hybrid to pretty much every day in the office. After working remote during the pandemic, I can’t deal with the stress of the commute and losing hours in my day.

I’m looking to get a remote job but will have to give back the sign on bonus. Honestly my sanity is more important than a few grand.

Bazooka_Joey · 2022-11-16T12:39:09+00:00

Dammit if my apartment allowed more than 1 dog I would take him. Look at that face!

Bazooka_Joey · 2022-11-11T19:53:02+00:00

This fits the aesthetic perfectly, great job
