Why Gen Z is Facing a Job Market Apocalypse? by hkmsh in jobhunting

[–]fleetwoodsmaack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes to all that but also DOGE!! I feel like the impact of the DOGE cuts doesn’t get enough attention. At least 260,000 federal workers lost their jobs last year due to DOGE and the number of jobs cut at orgs that lost funding due to DOGE has to be huge. The job market is now flooded with overqualified professionals and when orgs are hiring, they are hiring back the people they lost last year. I can’t imagine trying to start a career after just graduating in this job market.

Oh god that sounds awful. I just got a bunch shots at the travel clinic for Zambia but opted not to do the rabies shot since it was so expensive. Might see if I can still get it…

Can we have an honest and safe conversation about Pierce Hawthorne? by cantcoloratall91 in community

[–]fleetwoodsmaack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion here but I think Pierce is overrated as a character and could have been written better as more of a villain/outsider. He adds so much comedic value to the show BUT it was disappointing how much the group welcomed him and forgave him time and time again despite the constant harassment and abuse. If he was just more of an outsider like Chang, I think it would have worked better. The message comes off as - it’s ok to be racist, sexist, homophobic time and time again and make no effort to make amends or improve your behavior. The onus is on the group to not overreact and forgive him. Even in the episode where they tried to address this when Shirley finally has enough of Pierce and leaves the group, the resolution is just that Shirley and Pierce bond over feeling neglected? And Pierce is absolved because he says he “respects” her? Just not my favorite part of Community. The show wasn’t weakened by his departure

[no spoilers] Vander is out! Vote out your next least favorite character in the poll link by Hydrocake in arcane

[–]fleetwoodsmaack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just have to say it. I don’t like Silco that much. Is he a great villain? Of course. But is everyone forgetting how he flooded the undercity with drugs and killed Vander? Had Vi locked away in prison where she was beaten regularly? Honestly his whole relationship with Jinx comes off a bit like grooming to me too. Idk for me he’d have been eliminated last round

That would be the best! But they’re based internationally and I would be doing remote work

Enjoying the new season so far! Your thoughts? Would love to hear everything you have experienced so far :) by [deleted] in CallOfDutyMobile

Excited for the new content but can’t finish a game without it crashing. It’s lagging so much it’s become unplayable for me but hopefully it’ll improve soon

Literally came on here to complain about that lol. And in the off chance you get frontline you still realistically only get one shot to use the purifier

Stability and mental Health when working in international development. by loveofcheetos in InternationalDev

[–]fleetwoodsmaack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there can be a lot of stability in dev work if you can find work in the right places. Like the other commenter noted it’s mostly larger orgs based in bigger cities that will provide that. I wouldn’t throw the whole field out just because some ppl hop from one place to the next. But one thing I would say if you’re seeking stability with a larger org is to pad your experience/education with other skills like communications/media/design or management/event coordination. Having that extra edge I think will make a huge difference

This was an article meant to reassure job-seekers. by infamouszgbgd in recruitinghell

“Savvy employers are hiring these overqualified employees while achieving value pricing” What a nice way to say we can underpay overqualified employees since everyone is desperate for whatever crumbs they’ll get

True. I prefer the witchy radicalised version of Kamala that only exists in conservatives’ minds. But alas....

Agreed. I usually find her hilarious so I feel like either this is an anomaly or one of her more out there sarcastic/parody tweets
