    Cool, are they going to pay more, so people can move closer to the urban area where these offices presumably are? No? Then fuck off.

      HA! They would not even pay $1 for moving expenses when they asked me to move across the country. This was 8 plus years ago and not only was the offer no extra money, it was the same money in a more remote, colder, and higher cost of living area.

        Deleted comment: “Tech people already get well into the six figures starting out of college… if anything, they fucked everything up for the rest of us, then ducked out to live in a cottage in Montana somewhere during COVID. Honestly I’m tired of hearing of their “struggles”.”

        Hahahahahahahahaha. When I started with IBM in 2010 (NOT fresh out of college, about 5 years experience) I made less than 40k with them.

        Yea. Most don’t make that right out of college. A lot never make that and when you do start making near that you are also the first to be let go due to how much you make.
