      I got a second degree in computer science to try and get ahead and instead entered the market just in time for hundreds of thousands of layoffs so now I’m stuck making less than I did at my last job meanwhile inflation and rent have increased the cost of living by like 50%.

      Edit: oh and suddenly WFH = evil according to every CEO because of their billions of dollars of real-estate investments

        Hey now, it’s not just office space investments! It’s also useless middle managers who don’t actually do anything useful but don’t think people working from home do any work because they can’t be stared at to make sure they’re working constantly
