Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I guess this could just as easily be posted in an anti-work community

If you're in STEM it's really not a problem. I feel for others in auxiliary roles though.

I have over a decade of experience in software engineering and am struggling to find a new job at the moment. Every other time I've looked in the past it's been way easier.

Obviously I could have a job if I wanted, but if you don't want to compromise on role/pay then things are really tough at the moment.

That's true. I've seen developers wait a month or two for the right offer this year.

In previous years, they usually had 3 mind blowing offers within a week of putting out the word that they're looking.
