Stop working for these large public companies.

You’re being taken advantage of.

Take control of your career and stop putting it in the hands of empty suits with no concept of your skills or artistry.

It isn’t going to fulfill you to work for FAANG or death marching wannabes.

Stop working for them.

The vampires and parasites are sucking all the value out of your work. You think your salary is good? There’s 3 VPs and HR admins making 3x of that per each of you.

Get out of the rats nest.

Excerpt from https://flip.it/LHFbPq.

‘Some smaller tech startups are running out of cash and facing fundraising struggles with the era of easy money now over, which has prompted workforce reductions. But experts say for most large and publicly-traded tech firms, the layoff trend this month is aimed at satisfying investors.

Shulman adds: “They’re getting away with it because everybody is doing it. And they’re getting away with it because now it’s the new normal,” he said. “Workers are more comfortable with it, stock investors are appreciating it, and so I think we’ll see it continue for some time.”’
