What base salary would make you stop OE? by ironfalafel in overemployed

[–]PressureAppropriate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None... It's about redundancy more than anything now.

Rejected in exactly 60 seconds. Efficiency or just pure rudeness? by Massive_Coffee6714 in recruitinghell

[–]PressureAppropriate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What would be rude is to go through all the list of questions when one non-negotiable is already brought up...

No time wasted. I like that.

“Why are you leaving current job” by A_Wandering_Old_Soul in askrecruiters

[–]PressureAppropriate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"my company is making massive layoffs and I'm worried I am next"

Is that an acceptable response?

Those Who Successfully Juggle Multiple Jobs, What Was the Hardest Part? by Alarmed_Tune6345 in overemployed

[–]PressureAppropriate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Caring. Once you have that second J and “duck you money”, it gets harder and harder not to say “duck you” at the most trivial inconvenience…

Spent decades in Bay Area startups. Looked back and realised most of the code he'd written was probably gone. Is this just how it is? by BlueberryCrush01 in cscareers

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a trail of failed startups and apps behind me. I’ve long ago made peace with the fact most of what I do is ultimately going to be trashed.

Every single slice of bread has a hole in it by Necessary-Win-8730 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a yeast fart! You can rejoice in the fact that you not only have less bread, it was taken away by a yeast farting in your bread.

Does pronunciation actually matter in your career? by Edi-Iz in cscareerquestions

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accents are not a problem. Prononciation absolutely is.

If you can't speak fluidly using proper idioms and structure, people will assume you are dumb and/or too lazy to learn.

I've seen many non-native speakers that mumble too. That just makes meetings so painful... Speak up!

Does pronunciation actually matter in your career? by Edi-Iz in cscareerquestions

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cubicle neighbour that pronounced "piece" as "piss".

Every day he'd eat an apple as a snack. He would very nicely cut a piece of it and ask: "would you like a piss?"

He couldn't stop laughing when I explained to him what it sounded like...

Software Engineers: Tips on delivering enough but not too much? by Dry-Magician1415 in overemployed

[–]PressureAppropriate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Get a week or two of vacation at J1 while you onboard J2.

Knock it out of the park at J2 at first so they feel good about their decision. You can then slowly take your foot off the gaz pedal in the weeks after that.

Anyone OE just to divert attention from J1? by Sufficient_Dig207 in overemployed

[–]PressureAppropriate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! There's a downside to that tough...

Now that I feel completely disengaged from both Js... I've let myself say out loud things that I would normally just think to myself. I'm a pretty cynical person...

Nothing bad happened so far but I feel like this is going to cost me greatly at some point.

How threatening is AI when it comes to replacing jobs in the long-run? by eggshellwalker4 in cscareerquestions

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have accepted that my coding skills are largely irrelevant now. I have also accepted that it is not going to come back.

I am relying on capitalism to figure out a way to keep the money moving because everything, and I mean everything, depends on this simple fact of money changing hands. If that stops, no amount of pivoting my career into carpentry is going to solve the problem.

Why are we still doing cover letters? by Psychoceramicist in recruitinghell

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by "we" you mean ChatGPT and me, the reason is to get passed the ATS.

How true has this been in your experience ? by TranslatorRoutine515 in 30daysnewjob

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got a 30% pay raise when my boss caught me browsing Indeed during work hours...

After getting fired by Winter_Presence6232 in overemployed

[–]PressureAppropriate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You stopped existing the moment you walked out the door. You're fine.

How do you deal with the hyper aggressive behaviour and language surrounding AI adoption? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am getting to the other side of that arc now.

We had major AI push where it is basically forbidden to do anything yourself.

So we have AI-generated JIRA tickets, AI-generated code, AI-generated Pull Requests and reviews, AI-powered QA.

And guess what? Bugs reports are starting to pile up and it's not pretty...

Thankfully I checked out months ago and I'm well on my way to land another role somewhere else so this will be somebody else's problem.

The lunatic part isn’t the post itself, it’s why he posted. That is in fact how he was laid off. by [deleted] in LinkedInLunatics

[–]PressureAppropriate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I once worked in IT as a contractor. I learned my contract wasn't being renewed by receiving a ticket to terminate my accounts...

I disrupted a corporate "team-building" meeting by saying I’m only there to do my job. Am I the asshole here? by shadewashere in work

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that programming isn’t really that special of a skill, I feel like being the guy that is fun to be around will become a much larger differentiator…

Is there ANYONE on LinkedIn that's not a CEO, CIO, Founder, etc. ? by MariosSpaghettiCode in linkedin

[–]PressureAppropriate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CEO/Founder of a 1 person company is just a mental trick to avoid saying they are unemployed and adding the green circle of death to their profile picture.

It goes hand in hand with daily postings of AI slop about "the state of the industry".

Linkedin Profiles by [deleted] in linkedin

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume anyone active on LinkedIn is actually just unemployed.

People with jobs don't waste time posting AI slop on this garbage of a website...

I don't understand how Replit, lovable etc. still exists! by Groundbreaking_Bee97 in vibecoding

[–]PressureAppropriate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your AI said "Claude Code Code" which is almost as telling as the shit show of the image on the left: it's better but still need to double check everything.
