Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

Black people in this country have always been treated worse than immigrants. So people who are quick claim the treatment was the same tend to be immigrants.

I don't disagree.

Just pointing out that similar hysteria and arguments were used (often alongside physical violence) whenever we tried to integrate labor unions and gain access to meaningful employment opportunities.

All of that is not to say that I don't believe in borders (I do) or that I don't believe in a labor policy that prioritizes American labor first.

The main difference is Corporations can utilize the Federal Government to enable labor arbitrage. Before that had to do it on their own. Now the Government directly subsidies the practice.

Kicking it with my boy today. Actively had hiring managers reach out to him directly.

- 2 large gaming companies (Think Sony, Activision/Blizzard, Roblox, Riot Games, Take Two, etc.)
- A large movie studios (Think Warner Brothers, Paramount, etc.)
- 2 FAANG (or whatever)

All paying over 2, plus equity, plus bonus.

Might be time to start making moves. Companies are definitely aggressively looking to hire talent.

BTW, much to my dismay, this dude over here taking apart his "project bike" instead of studying or prepping for interviews.

I'm starting not to like dude. He's about to get like 5 offers after bullshytting around, smashing women, and traveling all over the world for almost a year and not even studying for interviews.

At the end of a call today, the hiring manager was ecstatic, like, "this was really an amazing conversation, I had a great time!"

I'm not a hater but F this dude
