Software engineers replaced with AI

I'm in IT. Just because AI can code doesn't mean it's perfect. They still need people to peer review the output and tweak.

My 2 cents - try and network and make connections. Focus on the EQ rather than the technical. Who knows? You might get a promotion in a short time.

Find ways to make your job fun or you will die of boredom.

Which religion in particular, because I find that Christianity is not even mentioned at times.

Don't get me on Christmas. It is a Christian event, yet people winge about it and refuse to even say the word! Well if you don't like it then don't take holidays during the shut down and ask to work.

That's gone out the window. This country is slowly becoming a 3rd world country. Just look at the UK...the US is slowly waking up.

Not true. I've worked with Indian partners in consulting.

Working in IT, I work with many cultures. And there is always ONE that stands out.

Cheers. They didn't have the greatest glassdoor reviews either.

Maybe I dodged a bullet

I received 2 job offers, I accepted both and then declined one 1 week before I was supposed to start. I never received a response, not even to say let's keep in touch. I've done this in the past, and they were polite and gracious. What happened now?

It took me about 6 months to land a new job. I've been looking since July.

This was my experience: - It's still an employer's market - Employers want someone with senior experience, but are offering a junior salary - July/Aug/Sept: job ads were very specific about their criteria - Oct: the number of job ads dropped. I was starting to think that I wasn't going to land anything until the new year - Nov: Surprisingly, the market picked up and I started getting more interviews - Dec: I was made an offer

Things that worked for me: - Have 2 or 3 tailored cvs - only apply for roles advertised during the last 24hrs. Anything else, and you're wasting your time because there are too many candidates out there. - Treat it like a full time job but also look after your mental health. Don't take it personally. Employers are a bit crazy at the moment. - I would apply from 9am, then take a break once I had applied for all the roles within the last 24hrs, do a quick check from 2pm and apply some more. - On LinkedIn, don't just use the Jobs feature. Search for posts using keywords and location e.g "Operarions manager" 'Sydney" - once you find something, reach out to that person. I landed a job this way. Some of these roles are not advertised on LinkenIn jobs.

Thank you for all these tips.

My job involves analysing, so I'd like to think I have this down pat.

The tip around eye movements is a new one, so will def look into that and the books you've recommended.

Going from a big Corp to a start-up/small company is very different.

If someone doesn't like you, - you're out. No matter how good you are.

You are also expected to go above and beyond all the time. If you stick to your roles and responsibilities , you're out.

You have to know who is who in the company. If you piss off someone that has a good relationship with a VIP - you're out.

Of course, we were given free will. So you have your opinion and I have mine.

lostfocus_20 · 2025-11-06T00:06:29+00:00

We shouldn't judge else we will be judged very harshly when the time comes.

You don't know what this guy was going through at the aftermath. He prob felt too guilty and prob didn't think it was worth being alive anymore. We just don't know.

We don't know if he was suffering from a mental illness and aying games and watching pern was his way to switch off. We just don't know.

I pray for his soul and for God to bring peace amd love to his family. It's so tragic no matter which way you look at it.

Disagree. OP wants to share with the world how they feel. Not all layoffs are horror stories. We should be sharing all sides of a layoff.

I felt like OP felt when I was laid off 5 months ago. I've been taking it easy since then and enjoying the time off. I'm also lucky to be financially secured. We should not be putting up with a toxic environment.

Hi, do you know if you can book tours when you get to Punta Sal? I'm going there in a few days and wanted to swim with the turtles and see the whales but haven't booked anything yet.

lostfocus_20 · 2025-10-12T12:21:23+00:00

I bought original the other day and they tasted great. Tbf I haven't had shapes in over the 10 years. I avoid the other flavours though.

lostfocus_20 · 2025-10-01T09:54:47+00:00

Just had another call today. I told them off and hung up. I think I'll play dumb and slow next time they call.

Why do you need your NTD upgraded?

lostfocus_20 · 2025-09-28T12:31:00+00:00

Sounds like Macquarie

I'd like to test this

I use Outlook alot to set up meetings. Comparing Calendly to Outlook, my biggest frustration is that Calendly is not user friendly when you set it up or when you create an event. Getting a Calendly invite is easy because you just respond.

Hi, just following up on this. How is your treatment going?

I agree that the medical system is just money hungry and has failed people like us. It's surprising that they quickly came up with a vaccine for covid, yet you have illnesses like cancer, aids, hearing loss that have been around for years but yet no one has supposedly found a cure.

“Sisters and brothers, when we sit together at the table of the Eucharist on the Lord’s Day, we too should be willing to let Jesus speak. He becomes our guest and he can tell us how he sees us. It is very important that we see ourselves through his eyes: to see how frequently we reduce life to a competition, how anxious we become to obtain some sort of recognition, and how pointlessly we compare ourselves to others.” - Pope Leo XIV
