Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now
Pohl@lemmy.world 9 months agoUnemployment is at record lows. Some sectors are hiring a lot more people than the tech sector is shedding. It’s not really complicated.
Job sectors come and go, grow and shrink. Imagine how silly I would sound if I said: “there is almost no work for horse cart builders but the gov says that unemployment is at record lows, how can this be?”

It is disgusting to me how these tech workers think the world revolves around them and their field. I remember driving through SF once before COVID, and seeing a billboard ad that said “High speed data where it MATTERS”. At the time, on the other side of the Bay I had a download speed of like 25 Mbps, and was just like “okay I guess I’ll go fuck myself”.

You should try not being so angry and offended all the time.

Fair. Got any tips?

Well, first, I would start with not reading a billboard created by some marketers as some affront to you and the opinion of a group of people who have nothing to do with making the sign.

You: Fuck you tech workers! The world doesn’t revolve around you!
