First time filing for unemployment after the layoff. I didn't even know it was something I was eligible, so I'm lucky I spoke to my friend the other day.

Ooeeh, layoffs are getting close, starting to be quite common on devRant.

@retoor ostream tried to warn us they are coming for the digital proletariat~

Guess what? There is a good chance you will never get hired ever again for a tech job in the USA (if in the USA).

Fucking dystopian nightmare.

@YourMom I should not have sent you this video :p But every episode of her is awesome. Talent.

@whimsical I went to subscribe, but was already subscribed. Didn't remember doing that.

@YourMom I feel like the job market is terri-bad right now, but I am lucky enough to be getting some calls and technical screenings.

Do you live in a main tech hub like San Francisco Bay Area or NYC?

@drewbie no, bum fuck idaho. I must suck, because hardly anyone is contacting me.

Also, be careful of scams on LinkedIn. Some 60% of tech jobs on there are fake or scams.

@YourMom it was from the previous time you've met me.

@YourMom damnit wish I didn't watch that last night. made me feel awful. and I keep thinking about it. depression fuel

@YourMom meh give it a few years. Indians will get as rich as americans and you guys will not outsource anything anymore. Same with china.

Of course it will mean no more cheap chinese shit.

The worldwide wealth imabalanced caused by colonisation will recess and everything will be fine.

@Liebranca exactly. Nothing to lose but our chained links.

@YourMom may I introduce you to the concept of counter-economics

@antigermanist indians make the most money out of any demographic in america now actually. been for a few years

once they get into a company they fire the people and only hire Indians and it just spreads. it's kind of nuts
