> The whole cottage industry around work is a festering wound at this point.

and (we?) the internet natives are most prone to this assessment as growing up in a world of free ideas (foss) wrecks any connection between work and reward.

a good paying non-management job with a overseeable workload is what i'm look for as well.

kinda hard to find as most hr ppl seem to be looking for either rock stars or code monkeys, any tipps?

Find a midsize company that isn’t a tech company and needs help maintaining a very old but critical system. There’s very little accountability since management doesn’t understand software and it pays well because it’s boring as shit and no one wants to do it

how so?

i mean, the most esoteric ppl i know aren't even married

probably a bubble thing as most produce of the hn crowd does indeed not need any trucking

yea, but hiding behind the differences in meaning does also not help effective discussion.

i get where you're coming from, but also sympathize with the position of "if the compensation changes in value, the value of the compensation has changed"

maybe time to question this whole stock option thing for c-suite and just grant all employees a similar share of company performance

UAW members already get a profit sharing bonus!

"Today’s announcement that eligible UAW-Stellantis members will receive a record average profit-sharing amount of $14,760..."

"Ford...members are expected to receive an average of $9,176 in profit sharing."

"UAW members who work for General Motors received the news that they may receive up to $12,750 in profit sharing"

https://uaw.org/tag/profit-sharing/

ime a lot of companies do this, but most don't

also phrasings like "average" and "up to" tend to obstruct an important part of the picture (i.e. the common worker)

The text upthread that started this was “GM CEO salary went up from 23M to 29M between 2021 and 2022.”

That is both wrong and misleading. Wrong for obvious reasons, but misleading because the nature of salary is that statement suggests that someone (the board or compensation committee) made an explicit decision to change their salary from $X to $Y.

not set in stone, but might well be.

openwrt is surely lacking in many aspects, but all the points you brought forward also apply to the manufacturer firmware but those are even less user friendly and cannot be modified.

there are a lot of open and closed firmware projects building upon openwrt

> but all the points you brought forward also apply to the manufacturer firmware but those are even less user friendly and cannot be modified.

That's more than a reach of a claim. All manufacturer firmware are buggy with poor security? That's very obviously false. With closed manufacturers the history is that it's a mixed bag, not a blanket. Some are excellent, some are very poor.

Openwrt has been mediocre and all the negatives about it do not equally apply to all closed manufacturer firmware.

> All manufacturer firmware are buggy with poor security? That's very obviously false.

guess we have a difference of opinion then

I am not clear how "all the points you brought forward also apply to the manufacturer firmware"

imo it means that you should also own a place to live in.

1 pixel = 10 meters

i'm slow too

certainly not that far fetched.

"one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist"

...call me what you will, but I know what I am, and why I do what I do. What you call me changes not what I fight for.

If behaving is defined as kowtowing to authoritarian control mechanisms, and furthering the goals and reach of tyrants, then I unabashedly aim to misbehave.
