Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I'll never know, because I didn't become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

Nah, it's just a one-time wage, then you're a slave

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Just a slavery signing bonus

[-] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 36 points 4 weeks ago

I'd sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 63 points 4 weeks ago

Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.

Famous last words from someone before the warehouse isn't there

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

The first Starlink-Amazon war destroyed many Amazon warehouses

You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time...

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

The $800 is to be a game dev for their new release: warehouse associate.

So you think you're too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.

Bro, maybe I don't think you should have to eat shit either.

It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of industry hiring, which is pretty depressing and toxic if you're a software engineer currently looking for work.

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Statistically you're far more likely to get laid off then he is.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm a software engineer who was recently laid off.

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Oh I see. Well your anecdote completely debunks statistics that show people without degrees get laid off nearly three times as often as those that do. I kneel.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not this year lol, tech has been hit hard.

Which, I mean, no one has any sympathy, those guys have been coddled and overpaid for a decade.

But yeah, this year, lots of tech layoffs.
