People tell me I don’t have company loyalty.
But then I ask which companies have employee loyalty.
This guy gets it.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

The very first lesson you will learn from your very first job is that companies have no loyalty to anything but the bottom line. The days of guaranteed lifetime employment at a company disappeared decades ago.
Tis not true, the very first thing I learnt from my first job is that people don't really care to even try doing their job if they can get away with that. Well, this also doesn't apply to a 100% of people, same as your point about companies probably
“Having hired over 500 engineers personally in my career, if your resume came across my list, I would definitely pass.”
Way to tell on yourself, dude. Even if you worked in this role for 50 years, that means you still go through 10 engineers a year(save for the amount that needed to be hired for company growth). Seems like way too much turnover for any company that is worth working for
Also: big, fat, fucking, ego-driven lie.
Quoting my response from elsewhere:
… FAANG. Hiring 500 engineers and bragging about it something you can do when you’re just interested in shareholder value not customer experience.
I wouldn’t hire the guy in the article because I haven’t seen strong candidates come from FAANG and I’ve been very happy to lose the people I did to FAANG because they weren’t good engineers, they just knew how to leetcode and tunnel vision trivia.
It's not decided that was all at one company.
Why are companies allowed to prioritize immediate money over literally everything, but when an employee does it suddenly "work isn't all about money"
...the youth of the naaation...We are we are...
Thank God it's already here. I would've been so sad...
P.O.D.? On my Lemmy??!?
I wish I had more than one updoot to give!
Do you feel so alive for the very first time?
I can't deny you, I feel so alive
Singin' we will we will rock you!
No idea why this is controversial. As a compsci researcher I have always been exploited for their spreadsheets that only satisfy government officials and not the society.
