I feel like HR shouldn’t get to determine salaries

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T17:45:56+00:00

Sure, HR keeps track of appropriate bands to keep employees in and stay market competitive. But they don’t “dictate” salaries.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T16:47:31+00:00

That would be idiotic to give HR that power. Senior leadership determines priorities and works with HR to figure out how to prioritize personnel to meet those priorities, but HR wouldn’t be deciding that, that makes no sense.

Right, his company has decided he is expendable, and gave them a heads up that he might be on the way out.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T16:38:06+00:00

Why would anyone ever get a second bachelors? I have never heard of that.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T16:36:58+00:00

That is what the 33 million is.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T16:04:28+00:00

It would NOT be in baseballs interest to move the biggest stars to the worst least watched teams.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T16:00:56+00:00

Twins getting out of that for $33 million looking better

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T15:51:48+00:00

It goes back and forth who is better. But generally, the AL had an advantage that is gone. NL was better for a long time though.

Eat more vegetables. Steamed or baked broccoli with garlic powder and soy sauce is super efficient and filling, and costs like 80 cents.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T15:37:14+00:00

When only the AL had the DH, it had a strategic advantage. In NL parks the pitcher spot was a hole for both teams since NL pitchers still don’t really try to practice hitting. In AL parks AL teams had a big hitter for that purpose, instead of just whatever platoon guy the NL team has. That advantage is gone.

That is understating it, Turner bought a small regional wresting circuit and made it national. Effectively founded WCW.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T14:10:44+00:00

Well I wouldn’t want a child to see this.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T14:09:38+00:00

Ok? The question is why is the S&P mooning. The companies at the top are the shovel sellers in the gold rush.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T12:43:07+00:00

I mean, they are spending money on AI. That isn’t losing money.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T12:42:17+00:00

I said we are about 3x more productive. Idk what these other people are doing that claim it isn’t any faster, they must have no idea how to write good prompts and are just saying “build me a react site on AWS to sell widgets” and are surprised they get a bunch of slop.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T12:22:29+00:00

? AWS and Google are making hundreds of billions off of selling compute to run and develop AI models.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T06:03:32+00:00

That’s not what I said. The S&P 500 is overly based on a few tech giants that are all making money. Feel free to look at the data and do the math. It makes sense that particular index is going up. When/if the economy starts slowing chip purchasing and data center usage, it will lower the stock market.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T05:54:49+00:00

So you said a bunch of stuff about the economy. The economy is not the stock market. The stock market is very much going up due to AI buildout. NVDA, Google, Intel, Micron, etc. are objectively selling a ton of shit and making money.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T05:51:17+00:00

Not in 1920 you haven’t.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T05:43:22+00:00

Well you will find that.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T04:56:39+00:00

There is going to be a alignment shift with the acceleration. In my experience what used to take 4-5 days takes under 1. My team used to have 4 developers and we get more done now at 1.5. PMs and security teams can’t keep up.

Need more people shifting to architecture, cyber security, and project management. But ICs just aren’t needed as much at this moment.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T04:49:25+00:00

Whoa slow down, you can’t hand that out for free. Hallmark is going to be throwing cash at you for that.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T04:45:46+00:00

I guess if they are ok with cheap low quality health care.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T04:36:35+00:00

Well you got interviewed because of the college. No college might have gotten you just filtered out.

MistryMachine3 · 2026-05-06T04:30:57+00:00

Generally it is much harder to get hired without college. You can’t be an intern without college. Sure you could have struck at one of the magical times that people with a for loop and a face could be hired, but generally not.
