Thanos is a misunderstood hero))

With the great resignation, how much did the vax mandates have effected the numbers?

Yes, that is a good question. I do not have an answer to it – the data seem to be difficult to find, at least right now. But the picture may become clearer over time.

Also with the Tucker videos on Monday. I can not see the topics (might be a bitchute thing).

Definitely a BitChute thing. Their embedding process is nowhere near as good as YouTube’s.

You’re one of the lucky ones, who managed to build a successful business on your own. Good for you – I mean that, with utmost respect.

Yeah, and what you are describing seems to be a universal problem among HR idiots. They design these job specs that are so ridiculously specific in terms of skills that they might as well be looking for unicorns – and, in the rare instance that they actually find a unicorn, his horn length or hoof shape will be not QUITE exactly right, so he’ll get rejected at the 2nd or 3rd stage.

That is not entirely HR’s fault – they are clueless, corrupt, and incompetent, but the hiring managers also play a big part in such corporate stupidity.

I once worked as a systems expert in Big Bad Globohomobank #2, and that team was led, at the time, by a Chinese quant with a PhD in mathematics. Every time a job opening came up, he would issue a demand for a quant with a PhD – when, in reality, I could, and did, do a better job in sorting out the systems and P&L attributions than any of the quants that they hired, simply because I knew the systems and the basic logic better than they did, and I “only” have a Master’s degree in mathematical finance.

Then they import an Indian who knows none of these technologies and he codes a website so crappy it gets hacked and all their customer data is leaked.

It’s not racist if it’s true))

And that is definitely true. The VERY VERY VERY FEW Indians who actually know what they are doing, do not outweigh the vast majority who are not particularly smart or skilled.

If he just blipped out the corporate psychopaths, politicians and useful idiots, there wouldn’t be a sequel 😛

You probably already know this, but you’re wasting your breath. You have a point and make a solid argument, but none of those ideas will ever fly.

I know, it’s like pissing in the wind. But maybe, just MAYBE, some enterprising chap might read this and realise, “hey, I don’t actually NEED an HR department in my organisation – I can outsource most of that function and make anyone responsible for vetting new hires, directly accountable to my line managers”. That, alone, would go a long way to rectifying much of the problem.

The rest of the problem, as you describe it, comes from a fractional reserve monetary system. And already we are seeing evidence of a shift away from that, back toward full-reserve digital money systems in the form of stablecoins. Will that replace fractional-reserve money? No. But it’s a big step in the right direction.

Additional thought for employees leaving, because I represent this statistic: Invasions of medical privacy, both to demand to know the status of covid vaccinations and to demand that you have them. There is surely a non-trival volume of employees walking away from flailing organizations over this.

I agree, though I have no hard numbers to quantify the impact. I’m not saying that there is no such statistic, I just haven’t seen it – and that’s only because I haven’t bothered to look yet.

I agree on the work from home. I’m am in sales and am realizing I wasted a lot of time in the old world driving to-and-fro when people are happy to get things done over the phone too.

Yeah. It’s actually quite amazing how little we NEED to be trapped in offices, under horrid artificial lighting, tolerating godawful coffee, and our even less bearable coworkers.

Hahha…I’ve seen this over and over, and not all for entry level but pros as well. I had one call be back, as I had nearly all of their requirements. Or at least most of them. Back in the day, telecom certifications were expensive, and you normally built your career on one manufacturer. So having Nortel certification and Avaya at the same time never happened. Yet they wanted that. And Cisco. Those two techs back then rarely had that. Then they wanted windows server…none would have that too. I remember telling the HR lady interviewing me that a unicorn like that doesn’t exist, so good luck.

I’ve been blessed to spend over 15 years working for a great company that valued it’s technical staff. Most their engineers had been there longer. Then we merged with a troop of dofuses, then got bought by big rainbow corp. They squawk all the time about how they invest in your career. Yeah..if you’re a woman.

The key here is to be core talent. I am the only one that does what I do in my department. And of my peers in other groups, I’m better and faster. My boss was blown away that I finished a project on time, even with issues caused by corporate sclerosis. Fact is I spent half my time farting around.

I have no illusions though. I know how the field is striped. I’m there for cash while maintaining my autonomy.
