Jag gör mitt bästa för att hålla lite liv i !sweden@lemmy.world. Jag är inte jättebra på att posta annat än nyheter jag bryr mig om dock, vilket leder till lite enformighet.

Swedish: Native English: Fluent to the point where it might as well be native Spanish: Alright, probably upper B2

Recruiters definitely don't pull $100k+ by not hiring people - it's pretty common to get paid on a commission-basis for successful hires.

This is not to say trying to get a job doesn't suck, it definitely does. Sales is generally pretty shit if you're not used to it, and getting a job is at the end of the day a sales process.

Hope it gets better for anyone stuck in it

We power on, my friend. We'll make it in the end

but the best is to walk in a park, but that raises your chances of getting murdered by a lot so idk

Is this a vibes-based take of do you actually have any stats on the matter?

Fwiw, the best is hands down a walk in a still kind of crowded city center. Few things bring as much security as eyes on the street

It's not to say I accept it, but I also know that I don't exactly have a choice in the matter.

This has been the worst part about working in tech since the big layoff period from about the beginning of 2023 - unthinkable levels of uncertainty in your life.

Still definitely got a better deal than most in life, but damn if it hasn't been mentally taxing

Depends on if the good people have better places to go, I guess. My guess is that you're probably going to lose people who have some amount of tenure, especially if you're the kind of company that gives equity that vests on a 4-year schedule. Even if you're not, people with some amount of tenure will be the ones trending towards being checked out already.

Losing people with tenure means you lose organisational memory, which can definitely be negative.

This is all to say that as an organisation, you should think twice about doing any kind of layoff. They are all bad in their own way. This just happens to be the format that is least bad for most workers, which is why I prefer it.

Sorry to hear that. Where is this?

I mean, you're probably right, but between this and regular layoffs? This every day of the week

To preface, I don't think it was right that Salwan was killed. May his murderers be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

That being said, make sure that you actually understand the background of the matter before you start spewing off bigotry against Muslims in this thread. The Wikipedia-article is a good start - I recommend using translation software to read the Swedish one as well as it has more detail on the subject.

Just like moderates under Hitler should have gotten behind his policy on Jews, right? A large amount of the population disliked them, just ignoring that doesn't work, right?

This is the best way to do headcount reductions imo. In large organisations there's always someone who's been there for a long time and gotten tired of the work, and that would gladly take this type of offer if it's lucrative enough.

To demonstrate - imagine that you've been considering quitting your job for a while. Then someone comes along and says that if you do that, you also get some additional cash for free. You'd probably take it, right?

And if you necessarily need to reduce headcount, then there's also the argument that if someone leaves voluntarily, then someone who wants to stay doesn't have to get pushed out.

So yeah, I'm not against this

Exposing your database directly to the internet? God damn, it really is amateur hour.

What a hilariously garbage thread.

Zero mention of any of the critiques that are actually being levied against the guy. 0/10, think before you post please

I thought it sounded strange when he spoke as well. Turns out he has some condition which makes it sound like that, so maybe we shouldn't point it out.

Or maybe we should - the right has nothing against playing dirty, maybe it's time to take the gloves off. Who knows.

Reason is a shit rag, and I don't think their slop should be posted.

Sweden did something similar for a long time, making every owner of a TV pay a license fee. Then the enforcing body tried to reclassify all computers as TVs, including smartphones, since these could technically access the online streaming version of the state-owned media. A ridiculous interpretation that was ultimately struck down in court.

All this did was cause unnecessary friction, and kept a bunch of really useless people on payroll to collect this fee.

We resolved it in the end by just making it a tax instead, and it's never been better. Rest in piss, Radiotjänst, nobody ever liked you

Idk how that's going to go.

This was a hilariously toxic game by the way, coming from someone who played and enjoyed it as a teen. Seriously, even the developers were completely insane

Chinese ChatGPT outperforms

On par with

on cheaper and less powerful chips as well.

Trained for less money on weaker hardware

That's true, yeah. Returns are basically not a thing for me either being in Sweden.

Still, on balance I believe I've made it out ahead.
