Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Bingo, at one point in my career I doubled my salary by interviewing for a new position.

I counter offered and they matched, I was literally sweating when waiting for the response. I thought finally my financial issues are over. I was born into poverty, in my family I was the first to graduate highschool let alone go to college.

Here we are 5 years later and I’ve slowly found myself in the same position as then. Except now there is no larger salary jump to be made because AI has fucked up the job market so bad, even getting into interviews is nightmare for a higher paying job, despite being fully qualified.

Worked hard my entire life just to end up with basically the same financial hardships I had 15 years ago.
