That was the biggest mindblow for me, and I really appreciate that the first biblical scholars didn’t try to bury the truth when archaeology conflicted with the bible.

How does that video not have more views!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Many of these answers are great, thank you for being graet, lemmy is great.

This is a much more legalese take, I feel like some folks would disagree in terms of the spirit of wage theft vs the letter of the concept. I like it though, I appreciate it, I appreciate you.

Interesting, interesting, I appreciate the perspective that wage theft can be committed by employees, although I’d be comfortable committing wage theft against my company, if I was paid hourly, they fucking suck.

Wouldn’t the exemption be considered wage theft though? What makes this scenario more complex?

Based on all the replies it really juist seems like this system is fucking shit at giving people a resource to live their damn lives.

I’m so jealous I want to cry, I fucking love birds.

That is wild, so many salary jobs act like you should work more than 40 hours. I even had a manager that said upper level employees should be willing to work more than 40 hours per week. What a cock wart.

I really like your response, you seem like a kind warmhearted person, I wish you the best,

The thing I’m now realizing is that I too have been a victim of wage theft, but didn’t suspect anything under the guise of “the system is good numbers always go up YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW”

Cheers to my sinking mental health yet again, I think I’ll name her the titanic fucking capitalist icebergs everywhere.

Whoever explained this to me originally reallllllllly sucked at it

You explain it so simply, and yet I was so confused before hand, thank you so much, why is life so hard?

Wow I applied to Cloudflare a few months ago, glad I got rejected because I was just laid off late last year.

Follow up question, could the same metrics be captured without a network connection? An alternative might not be as user friendly as an IoT device, but for the last what decade? It seems like investment in IoT is investment in security vulnerabilities.

I’ve watched many videos about CBT

I’m a software developer and many job postings for my skill sets are getting 500+ applicants, so my strategy was to try to network on the platform. The whole experience was demoralizing, sure other job boards might have the same number of applicants, but I really feel like the easy apply button just creates more competition. My inbox is always open for recruiters though, that is the only positive for me.

LinkedIn is an aggregation of everything wrong with social media. I got laid off and tried to use it to find a job, never again.

I think the replies to this post really captures Lemmy’s energy and I love it.

Mini Rant:

When you think about it software development is a relatively young profession compared to medicine, law, construction, public services, the arts, and so on. This is why modern tech kind of sucks despite being so cool, I say we are in the “Hey maybe we shouldn’t build our huts right on the river” phase of writing code, still figuring out problems that will appear mind numbingly simple in the future.

Another issue is the fact that tech builds on itself and its flaws can be painted over with abstractions, while the aforementioned professions can’t get away with being subpar for too long. So the full metaphor really is after the river floods we build on top of the ruins and claim victory because we are slightly more elevated and will take less damage during the next flood.

The secret to better tech is rebuilding everything from scratch. The internet wasn’t designed with security and bad actors in mind. Plenty of corporations are running a Frankenstein system that contains code older than most millennials, botched modernization efforts, buzzword laden over-engineered applications, and bugs that aren’t features just permanent residents in your code base.

…But there is profiteering to contend with, good code takes time, time is money, good code is expensive. “Good enough” code is easy to write, so its better for the bottom line.

In the end it really is…

Developer: “Hey the river flooded and our huts were demolished, we should move to higher ground and build there”

Corporate Leadership: “No that is too expensive, just build on the ruins and next flood we should be safer, oh also you’re laid off”

I know you didn’t ask for this, but its been on my mind for a while and I felt like this was a good time to get this out of my head haha
