There's a lot of greedy selfish people out there.
This past year I was mostly unemployed, and wasted countless hours, days and weeks, months doing tech interviews. A complete waste of my time that I'll never get back. I live in London and it's stupidly expensive.
Although all of my problems, I've kept sending my donations to people, projects to show my support, appreciation, and also charities and family in need.
I got some short contract work in-between, luckily, but nothing much.q
I think we should give back, have at least some empathy to others and respect the ones that've been here for longer, that are truly talented.
- ferzul 5y agoI don't want to disagree with your sentiment, but it's for the companies who benefit from Babel to donate, not individual techies.
- runald 5y agoFor some people, being unemployed (even mostly) means living on the streets and eating scraps of food to get by, so I do not understand what you are trying to signal here when you say can still be generous and donate despite being mostly unemployed. Unless of course, you have a several years worth of savings or a stable source of food and shelter, in which case you being unemployed is irrelevant. I understand the desire and passion to help, but speaking of empathy, some people may have a very different idea of what unemployment means.
