> Have you considered that the bitterness that drips out of your posts here might be part of the reason you're having trouble finding work? Bitterness? Have you considered that you're reading my posts wrong? Having a different political opinion than you does not equate to bitterness. No - I'm not bitter at all. And as I've made quite clear on linkedin, I want nothing to do with an employer who tries to strong arm me out of my freedom of speech and expression, so I wouldn't work for the likes of you. > I don't know what you're like in person Correct you don't. I'm awesome.

  Thanks. Having a "bitter taste" in this metaphorical sense does not necessarily mean that a person is inherently bitter. I am not a "bitter" human. Nor would I say any of my posts are "dripping" in bitterness, as Schnitzer claimed. But again - if someone wants to pass on a hire because of that post, be my guest. I wouldn't want to work for such a petty individual.

    These people are just suffering from ODD right now. They can't handle a world-view that makes them bad or evil, and so they will do anything they can to make you look evil/crazy/unhinged/depressed or bitter.

      I exclusively hire US citizens physically located here. Try again.

      Its quite strange. I'm being piled on for saying that I support American workers over immigrants (which is literally Trump's position) and I am accused of being bitter. I'm actually doing great considering. Would love to have a job, but if society won't allow me, then I'll simply use the system and continue building video games, not my fault. Blame Elon etc.

        You can take this any way you like, but I'm genuinely trying to offer constructive criticism. Whether you mean to or not, you come across as bitter and angry. ...also a little socially awkward? Why use my last name in this forum? Not that it bothers me; I deliberately maintain a public profile. But the convention here is to use each other's usernames, and you had to click through at least a couple links to see my name. Do we know each other? I presume not, or you would have used my first name. There's something a little strange about it; either you aren't picking up on community social conventions, or you're deliberately trying to break them. It's just a small and almost insignificant data point, but if I had to take a totally wild guess, these sorts of subtle social issues are what interviewers are picking up on.

        You have your full name linked in your profile. Look Jeff, you've offered up backhanded advice twice now in this thread. I'll offer up my honest feedback to you: you come across as rude and obtuse. We are having a discussion in this post about H1B, job shortages etc. Nothing I've said in any of these posts or comments is bitter or angry. You're free to read my words however you wish, but you might want to take a step back from your emotions, because they seem to have gotten the better of you. I'm a pretty happy guy. I'm not really sure where you're getting any of your intel from, but you're wrong. Now I've corrected you twice. Anymore insisting on your part is just trolling. Your "constructive criticism" has been rejected.

      I believe thst it's just socially inept trolls who don't like my political statement. They're demonstrating their lack of ability to judge character - basing their whole assessment of my personality on alleged red flags in a few sentences that were made in response to their backhanded "advice". Typical internet incel behavior. I am not deterred.
