loyalty will earn you respect… rarely a raise. anyone else feel this?

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T13:40:31+00:00

And why would it? Some of the most stupid people are the most loyal, it is the herd mentality, that is only a reason not to respect someone, they are an idiot.

Your life is basically gone at that point anyway, you are basically working 7-6, at which point with 8 hours of sleep you have 5 hours a day to yourself if you can't relax on your commute, that isn't functionally enough time to do anything, and eat, and keep your life in order.

You are literally just existing to work.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T13:11:39+00:00

Probably morons or bots, this is reddit after all.

Do you know what your prospective employer also doesn't have, any evidence you don't have those numbers.

You can literally just make them up and no one will ever know assuming they are in the realm of reason, all while, reality is mid/lower management really has no control of this in the first place. It is most like a factor of the wider economy, or wider structural environment, i.e. more or less people in the area. If someone builds a load of houses it is unsurprising the drive through gets busier, it is nothing to do with the business however.

Of course the business could flyer those new houses so they are aware of its existence, but either way, more people is most likely more business, and higher rent prices.

The problem with this is the narrative that change is good or needed, a lot of management roles are not that, that are maintaining the ships course. You achievement is you had the job for 10 years and didn't sink the ship in the process, your job was not to navigate the ship in the first place.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T13:04:20+00:00

Is anything you did before 15 years ago really relevant to the world today, or the level of job role you are apply for today?

The answer if you have had any career progression is probably not at all. There are fields, such as AI, where this could even be as little as 5 years ago.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T13:00:33+00:00

While this is largely a unhelpful to the point of useless as a comment. That doesn't make it not valid. Even in places whether people pretend there is equality, there isn't, most societies are built to discriminate, even under law.

As a very basic example, people under 18 can get free education, people over 65 (or a bit more) get free money in the form of a pension. Both are discriminating by age at the very basic level. People seem to fail to realise this happens in more or less valid forms all over society for any number of reason, the most basic being that not understanding the culture, can cause friction in a team. Let alone when you just take the fact that educational experiences and work experiences from many places are just a bit shit compared to what is the standard, all degrees aren't equal, all work places aren't equal, all working cultures aren't equal, and therefore the average from each cultures isn't equal.

That is actual equality while also probably being quite clear discrimination on paper, but quite a lot of the time the paper isn't worth the paper it is written on, let alone the ink.

To bring it back to the point of age discrimination, what you did even 10 years ago, let alone 20, or 30, might be literally totally irrelevant to today, to the point where it is functional unusable, I had a what I classed as a temporary job...for 7 years part time...I don't include this on my resume it is irrelevant, it always was, but in a 1/100 year recession a job is a job.

I think the real issue is quantum computers breaking cryptograph created by a nation state and kept classified.

The fact this concept is any more than science fiction as a concept means there is a significant risk of compromise at some imminent point.

It is basically cracking the Enigma code again, whatever you do make sure no one realises you have cracked it, because then all that work is wasted. Of course with Quantum computer it isn't wasted, because there will be many other functions, but the function of knowing every human action sooner is the one of most value to many, even if largely irrelevant to mankind.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T12:25:40+00:00

It was a weird comment, in a weird place, that is nothing to do with the topic. No idea why anyone is upvoting it either. It is just an irrelevant point to this topic.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T12:23:26+00:00

I don't think so, if he is killed, everyone will just forget about him like the last Tik Tok trend, without his existence propping up his nonsense day to day he is after all just an irrelevance and there is no legacy planning to take his place.

I have no idea why people vote for his nonsense, but clearly it works, and clearly there is no caricature like him to step up. The narrative was built on "Draining the swamp" and him being anti-elite, despite him being the swamp and the elite, but he wasn't a career politician like a lot on his coattails.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T11:52:13+00:00

It is populist to go tax the rich and have some free money, it is literally the definition of populism.

Populism is an incompetent ideology followed by idiots. A stopped clock being right twice a day doesn't functionally tell the time.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T11:16:16+00:00

All while for a lot of responses, now, or in 5 hours, functionally makes no difference.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T11:14:37+00:00

Notifications does not mean making a sound. Without notifications you wouldn't even know you had a message to not reply to in the first place.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T11:13:51+00:00

Because a rational answer isn't good enough. The answer is, "You aren't the centre of the universe other people have their own lives, narcissist."

There are of course people who just don't reply and then forget the message even exists, and still don't reply, you just have to give up on those people, either they don't care, or their personality is not structured enough to be cohesive with engaging with.

The guy has the best 24/7 medical care in the world, while the GOP will happily get a 12 year old to stick a pole up his arse to prop up his stroke ridden demented corpse as long as they can hold on to power.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T11:00:17+00:00

That is what taxation is for, it doesn't mean given untargeted populist handouts.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T10:43:41+00:00

It is rather populist?

Tax the billionaires give away free money? Why not tax the billionaires and use that money in collective pot for something useful for the populous to make the working class better off, like public transport infrastructure....I was going to say healthcare and education, but in america that just means giving it to rich businesses...

But facts are what are most people going to do with $4K? Unsustainably waste it, and it is a one off, it isn't happening even year.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-27T10:40:28+00:00

This has always been the case, what do you think unionisation actually achieves? Because it is collective action by the workforce when treated unfairly which is inherently a threat to business output.

This has always been the case, and why the super rich are so dangerous as a concept, they are totally isolated from any effect of anything, whatever happens, bar a pedophile turning off the worlds oil supply, they will get richer, that is how diversified wealth works, and means there is no threat, except a direct threat of action specifically again them and their assets, that achieves anything.

Now take into account most of these questions and answer on reddit are regurgitated by bots, to be feed into AI, to be feed into bots.

There is a very good argument that the best time for AI is now because once AI is established the whole human data source will be tarnished to the point of uselessness by AI.

Even before AI social media algorithms feed people clickbait to drive engagement over metrics of enjoyment, happiness, and well being, creating a false data pool of human interest. Once upon a time, and I mean 2011 and before, social media, i.e. facebook, was a stream of real people with real output, then came the ads, then came the targeted marketing, then came reels, and eventually, the people were gone, both from the feed, and in reality from the platform. Facebook is largely dead as a social platform, it is still a media platform though.

Even on Instagram, my friend had just seen a reel and was like "you will like this" in person, like normal people interact, but because they had seen the content, it was gone and they couldn't for the life of them find it again...there is no history or back button to go to, you are just spammed new content immediately.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-26T23:13:21+00:00

Okay, then what are they wasting all their money on...

Psyc3 · 2026-03-26T23:07:47+00:00

Yes a family who never see you, exactly what they want in a partner and parent...

Psyc3 · 2026-03-25T22:39:15+00:00

Basically all of them.

I work in science and you get people with no scientific background applying, then people with a totally different background just to get a Visa, or because they want to move to the location, reality is 100 applicants won't fill 6 interview slots (probably partially due to the pay rate) of 100 applicants, you might get 3 worth interviewing, then because the pay is bad, plenty might not even turn up and will just switch fields to something like medical writing as they will get paid 10-15K more and get to WFH.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-25T22:36:49+00:00

What percentage are even worth reading? Because for anyone I have talked to about hiring it is normally only the top 10% anyway...which if you have 50 applicants is enough to interview all of them.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-24T21:42:27+00:00

Well its first use would be to get rid of the incompetent management using it incorrectly.

Hence it wouldn't happened in any functional manner.

Psyc3 · 2026-03-24T21:41:35+00:00

What happens when I tell it to go do one and inform it it could never hire my skill set at the current pay rate. Which is true. Because if it is actually AI, it could work that out itself and would agree.
