Worse, you become important but with no pay raise

Then it becomes all pain no gain

I think you're putting too much blame on others rather than the companies themselves. For comp sci, entry level simply doesn't exist anymore. The lowest amount of experience required is about 2 years now. Chances are if you just graduated, there's no real entry level job for you.

The recruiter process is also notoriously bad at any part of the application. I had applications straight up ghosted, responses two years after I applied, responses that they already decided to move with another candidate despite the job listing still open, even a 3 hr interview where I was told I would meet the team (as in personality test), only for it to end up as a 3 hr technical. This was back in 2021 2022, and from what I've heard, it has only gotten worse.

It's pretty easy to know what's actually happening by just taking the opposite of what they say

Food prices are down -> Food expenses are increasing

More jobs for americans -> one of the highest rated of unemployment

X city is full of criminals -> everyone just trying to live a normal life

Have business requirements change by the hour

See I would say a broken clock is right twice a day but somehow this entire country has gone to such shit that even she's right more than twice

I hope google fails as a whole in the near future and gets dissolved once and for all. Sick and tired of tech companies trying to be sources of authority, working with authoritarian governments, and dictating what you can and can't do.

Move closer to work -> rent goes up by hundreds of dollars bc closer to city

Find work closer to current place -> pay goes down like 30% or your job field doesn't even have openings there

Tbh there's not much winning right now

Stop right there, you need to verify your age to look at this tree!

Oh hey I used to live near Sawtelle. Honestly the city department there is fucking terrible.

I parked there once using street parking when I was first looking for apartments and I got ticketed for being in a no parking zone when there wasn't a sign or a red line saying no parking.

Went to the city's office and despite photo evidence we still got denied an appeal.

Did no one else read the story? I read it and it sounds moreso the clinic's fault

The necklace he was wearing was a steel weighted exercise band, not a normal necklace. He's not flexing his wealth or anything

His wife told News 12 Long Island in a recorded interview that she was undergoing an MRI on her knee when she asked the technician to get her husband to help her get off the table. She said she called out to him.

Seems like the technician was told by the wife to bring her husband in to help her up. The technician/clinic made a mistake by letting in the husband, who didn't seem properly warned about MRIs no metal policy. The technician also somehow didn't catch the giant "necklace" he'd be wearing.

The "he wasn't supposed to be there" seems like a coverup for their mistake, since how else would he have known to go in? Someone must've told him to walk into the room, it's not like he could hear through the door.

Edit: 100% the technicians fault, the technician saw it. It even had a metal padlock.

They’d even discussed his training and the hard-to-miss chain with the MRI technician during their previous appointments, Jones-McAllister said.
“That was not the first time that guy has seen that chain” on her husband, she said. “They had a conversation about it before.”

Airlines and enshittification, what's new.

Happening right now with Southwest as well. In their infinite knowledge sw decided to remove what defined them: two free checked bags and cheap flights

Now there's a worse option called basic which has a shittier cancellation policy, no checked bags, and is more expensive than the previous budget tier

Oh hey I ran into that issue, fixed it by blocking the element on ublock and spoofing my user agent

Edit: I put more details under nameisnotimportant's comment, I was about to head to bed so I didn't really provide details LOL
