I think there's a certain kind of irony in being asked externally to enjoy the rubbish I've been given to eat. It's still rubbish.

You sit at a desk.

You get paid in the top 1% globally

You have benefits

Some hope or dreams for what to do with your future, life after work, retirement.

You get to work with other people, overseas.

Talk to those contractors sometimes. They are under tremendous pressure. They are mistreated. One wrong move, they're gone. They undergo tremendous prejudices, and soft racism everyday especially by us FTEs.

You find out that they struggle with the drudgery as well, looking for solutions, better understanding, etc.

We all feel disposable by our corporate masters, but they feel it even more so.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Gladly! I think what I would choose is building on-shore teams exclusively. That's the change I'd like to see more of, while overseas teams build their own economies instead of ripping away jobs from domestic citizens in an already difficult job market.

almost feels like this could be a good political slogan for a campaign… like “america first” or something like that… oh wait… :)
If it was really America First they might not be so screwed for a free and fair election on November.

If it was really America first, their priorities wouldn't be to try and attack free and fair elections instead of reflecting and actually practicing what they preach.

Already long. Got laid off.

Easy to say when you're at a desk and not scrounging up pennies to pay rent.
