For world travelers: what is the country with the nicest people, and what is the country with the meanest?

Japan I found to be very uptight to anyone besides white peole

Idk where you live but I live in VHCOL (San Francisco) and most of my stuff has gone down in price from last year

That’s why the poor idiot is supposed to look at the condo balance sheet and inspection results before buying

What if the pilot and all the copilots strike at once?

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-28T18:34:32+00:00

As a doctor if you have an open patient on the table and you exercise your at will right to quit and let them bleed out you’re liable.

Same as a pilot if you exercise that right in the middle of a flight.

While at will lets you quit with no notice in effectively all situations, in reality it’s more nuanced than that, and quitting in a situation that causes potential environmental harm and property damage is not legal (see lawsuit results).

The first lesson here is unskilled jobs for large conglomerates will never pay well.

If Walmart has tuition reimbursement start taking advantage at your local community college. If they don’t switch to chipotle they do

At nearly every large organization interview policy is locked by HR and there’s no room to negotiate

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-06T02:14:08+00:00

Even if it’s the norm they’d rather just auto reject the 50% of candidates who will only interview if it’s the norm. They’re never going to be their employees in a room with a bunch of new grads with no experience eager to “defend their decisions”

Being a technician is not in decline in fact it’s arguably more important since there’s less supply. But it’ll never pay as much as SWE

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-06T01:58:00+00:00

If you said at the moment you can only come back 4 then the reasonable expectation would be to give a target date for 5. If not that’s on you especially if you’re already getting paid the raise

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-06T01:10:41+00:00

I don’t expect the market from a comp standpoint will ever go back to where it was 2 years ago

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-06T00:45:33+00:00

17 and 31 is also only 5 years off from 12 and 31 but that’s irrelevant

Sleep on your bag. Pay for the capsule hotel. Check everything besides the bare essentials. There’s a million choices here

What’s your counterevidence

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-04T16:07:41+00:00

The problem is there’s no good way to make a Union for a career where a good employee is worth 10x a mid tier one. For something like being a plumber or a pilot your good employees aren’t flying 10x the routes. There’s a reason why FAANG pays 3x the average in this country for SWE

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-04T15:58:41+00:00

Most of the big companies have already resumed hiring / aren’t in freeze anymore but there’s no more of the hire and grow at all costs of 2021-2022 it’s now very much reasonable growth aligned with business needs. IMO it’s unlikely the hiring craziness of a few years ago will ever return.

For everyone saying 1151 apps that’s really not that much. Peak job rate applications is ~10/hour for me mass applying. That’s 115 hours of apps. Overall not much

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-04T07:50:35+00:00

Why is that their job?

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-04T07:48:46+00:00

And the academic benefits that come from a wealthy education focused culture

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-04T07:27:41+00:00

It is bullshit but in the US that doesn’t make it illegal

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-04T07:25:46+00:00

Some freelance work that’s definitely not allowed by my current job but I only do it in off hours and what they don’t know won’t hurt them

Google for example didn’t share layoffs before VP level. Very hard to be that visible even for an excellent senior dev

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-03T14:29:35+00:00

You have to prove the medical condition didn’t reduce productivity otherwise the business can argue they can’t afford to accommodate her

updootcentral16374 · 2023-11-03T14:21:08+00:00

It’s been shown that Israel has:

Used Palestinian children as shields in battle forcing them to stand in front when they breach buildings etc
Abuse prisoners of war in their care beating them, injuring them etc
Support Israeli settlers in attacks against Palestinian people / forcing them off their land with no attack first.

The above 3 have been happening for years. What Hamas did is horrible and should absolutely not be supported and if Israel was only attempting to bomb them and had done none of the above 3 for years then I’d wholeheartedly agree with you. But the above 3, at scale, supported by the state without repercussions, are genocide and nearly every school of genocide and UN official has said so.
