A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

MODERATORS
Any job or career that would judge you wanting any of those things is not a job worth interviewing for. I've walked out of interviews the second things started to sound like they wouldn't respect my time.
Unfortunately some people don't have a choice
...why does it seem taboo to admit that money is the reason people go to their jobs?
So they can underpay you. If you go through 5 rounds of interviews, you're way more likely to accept a shitty salary so you haven't wasted that time.
Every company that I've interviewed with that's refused to talk salary has been offering ludicrously low pay. Always ask salary in the "do you have any questions" part of round one. If the interviewer says something like "we don't discuss salary in the first round" you are now in a hostile negotiation. Increase whatever you thought the position should pay by at least 50% and say "I need to be in this range (min + 50% to min + 100%) to continue with this interview. Are we in the same ballpark?" They'll generally give you a "oh, our range tops out at $" If it's above your min, say "depending on the total compensation package, I can make that work. What are the next steps." If they still won't tell you, or it's below your minimum, thank them for their time and end the interview.
I don't know how many interviews I've bailed from because I did this. Places in Silicon Valley advertising for something like "senior Devops engineer" and trying to pay $25-50/hr.
which of the 25 rounds of interviews is this referring to?
yes, in early interviews you just lie out your arse and tell them exactly what they want to hear.
but at some point you will need to ask those questions and enter those negotiations.
if you can get a whiff of how fucked the company is early on, that's great, but don't be too direct about it.
just need to be strategic/tactical/scheming/whatever about it.
Just keep spouting this trash. When the guillotines come out, we'll have a nice, voluntary record of everyone we need to find.
focus on how awesome you will be at the job

Parking. Can we talk about parking?
You can't park here.
Can we talk about salary then? Please?
Sure. Less is always an option. What about 15%?
And we'll replace you with AI once it's barely able to mimic your job.
Then we'll hire you back. At a slightly lower rate.
Deal?
Think of it as an opportunity to grow!
