in today's world there are ways to make the drudgery a bit less soul-crushing. work from home, flexible working time or 80% arrangements, gig economy.. I would say its actually getting much better for the average drone.

receiving feedback sounds good on the paper, and i understand how it would be helpful and ideal to receive it, but its just not how the real world works, as there is no business incentive to provide the feedback. i would say in tech its fai

Why even care? You should be aware whether u have the credentials and experience. Most of the time the rejection is a subjective decision by a small group of people. And as of lately big tech is freezing their hiring anyway. Keep applying a

how does one measure how much work can employer extract from employee if position is 'filling a role' as opposed to having an agreement for amount of hours per day?

by iExploder 4y ago
interesting... here in Europe it always states how many hours employee needs to work daily, how many days per week and often times includes clauses for how much overtime hours and overtime pay is to be expected

anyone who works on their personal side projects on company's times and hardware, risk that the results will become ownership of the company. it's also a bit dishonest and immoral tbh... I would check the employment contract asap.

interesting idea, I had a few questions when looking at it - afaik size_t and char* types are implementation dependent, not sure if this could cause problems, maybe you already thought about the implications? - are you hard set on using GPL

Unless one is a complete corporate simp, a fulfilling job is an oxymoron at best. Job is a job, you are being paid money in exchange for your time, labour and skills, everything else surrounding it is just BS to make you more productive and

BS jobs must be automated or deprecated. you may find a short term security in being a doorman for someone but for both of our sake I hope soon we will be freed from such toil.
