Shut the fuck up. You're just being a massive cunt to stir up shit. People have gone out of their way to actually answer your bad faith questions. Stop. Get some help. Or jump off a bridge so you stop wasting the oxygen around you, troll.
Because you obviously have no brain cells or ability to actually comprehend what people are fucking saying lol. Being a programmer is not easy.
I'll spell it the fuck out for you simple enough for a child:
We got told to work hard and they'll get theirs. We worked our assess off. We took shitty jobs where we worked 10+ hours for shitty bosses demanding we do things that literally aren't possible. We worked our way up to the "good" salaries. WE EARNED THAT SHIT.
And then they took it from us. Used every trick they could to squeeze out labor, then they fire us. Have you seen the news lately? Tech companies are laying off people at rates we haven't seen since Covid, if not the 2008 recession.
We have the right to be angry, so stop being a dismissive edgelord.
Have you talked to a therapist about how angry you are at the world? Most people are not this angry, especially ones who are in objectively more advantaged states than the vast majority of people.
I get it. It’s sucks to lose your job. But throwing a fit and acting like you’re the single most disadvantaged person in the universe when you’re not doesn’t help anyone. I don’t want to be a douche to you, but I’m neither your therapist or your friend. No one on this website is. I’m not obligated to lie and say “yeah… no one has had it as rough as computer programmers in 2024” because I might stumble upon one who recently lost his job.
I hope you get a new gig. I really do. But plenty of people realize their college degree maybe isn’t as useful as they were told it would be and they learn to cope with it in a way that doesn’t make their blood boil
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Seriously dude... if I don't have it the worst in the world I have no right to complain? Neither do you then. Black people and women are oppressed so by your logic nobody else can ever complain about anything.
Stop feeding the troll, that dumbass proved a while ago what I wanted to see, them moving the goalposts, making an inflamatory comment then a few comments later, pretending that they didn't and they gave a moderate viewpoint.
That dumbass is just looking for the serotonin hit from getting replies.
Have some laughs https://youtu.be/b1QX5erb_p4 , and thank you, comments like yours remind me that I am not insane for feeling the way I do, and remind me that there is still empathy left in the world, you rock.
I never said you don’t have the right to complain. I made a general statement that computer programmers don’t have it as bad as some other types of workers and you came out of the woodwork to scream at me about how much your life sucks, actually.
