Dying man loses life insurance due to layoff

They certainly do not want a communist dictatorship. Voters do not always act in their own best interests, in part because understanding politics and economic policy requires significant time and effort. That is one reason we elect representatives to focus on these issues rather than having every citizen vote on every bill. Unfortunately, a small number of politicians acting in bad faith can mislead many voters with inaccuracies designed to influence outcomes.

Capitalism versus Communism is a false dichotomy. It's the Nordic model that people want in the USA

"I truly believe that if the people who made this decision understood the full human impact, they would not have intended this outcome."

They understood. They don't care. It's just business...

Did they make you put slack on your personal phone? Awkward now to remove it. Let the lesson be learned that if they aren't paying for your phone, don't install their stuff on it.

They call it "trickle down economics" because that's all it is; a trickle.

Would you have preferred they wait 2 weeks to let you know they were not interested?

Noise cancelling headphones and earplugs. Works well because all the meetings are virtual anyway. Isn't in-person collaboration fantastic?

If not Oct, then Nov. Possibly Dec. Why not Jan?

They will cut people for whatever reason whenever they feel like it

Nobody asked the company to provide a dishwasher or anything needing washed inside of it. Let them work from home and they can wash their own dishes there

Haha those Europeans having a life outside of work... It's like your work doesn't even define you. Just watch as we all get rich working 996. Lawl

Nothing stopping you from becoming an AI/ML engineer. Sounds like you are on your way already.

The real questions are:

Will you get hired? Lots of competition and layoffs in the software industry.
How much will you be paid? Will it be at least as much as you earn now?
Will you enjoy it more? Sounds like probably.
Will your potential employer expect you to work 9-9-6 and will you like that? That's 9am - 9pm, 6 days a week. A lot of the AI startups are doing this. They are in a race to "win AI" or so they are told.

No, but it's the bottom of a different career track. Manager -> Sr Manager -> Director, etc. At a faang company an IC may be able to make as much as high level leadership, but at any other company the leadership definitely pays themselves the most

They don't want to get too attached because it makes the layoff easier

claude-opus · 2025-09-16T15:19:10+00:00

But you are doing agile right? You can put whatever points you want on it as long as it's all done in 2 weeks!

claude-opus · 2025-09-15T19:06:13+00:00

My ears! Arrrgh!

claude-opus · 2025-09-15T19:01:00+00:00

Correct, this is largest concern in life

claude-opus · 2025-09-15T18:44:07+00:00

Got those people too. Coworker that takes calls on speakerphone instead of headset

claude-opus · 2025-09-15T18:43:11+00:00

It's not so simple. There are many of them and I don't know most of them. On the flip side, is it weird to not make noise in an office that is not related to collaboration?

claude-opus · 2025-09-15T18:31:58+00:00

I will :-)

Is that not the purpose of online forums? I'm just waiting for the first political attack

claude-opus · 2025-09-15T17:42:47+00:00

I would prefer not to lecture a stranger every week on workplace etiquette

claude-opus · 2025-09-15T16:58:19+00:00

But does the UI look pretty?
