  1. It's all fine and dandy to complain about job application procedure, but if you work in tech and complain emotionally about a simple JavaScript button that only opens in the same window - you make people question your EQ and problem-solving skills.

  2. 💡 Wow, someone actually re-read the terms of 175 AI tools – TWICE – only to discover that 60% of them changed faster than a teenager's mood swings! 😱 Apparently, keeping up with these terms is a full-time job now; who knew AI could provide such riveting reading material? 📚🤣

  5. Last year, job growth was one of the weakest on record. While it’s improved this year, the average remains historically low. Workers are losing one of their best tools to combat rising costs: the pay premium for switching jobs.The U.S. labor market has lost some of its momentum, leaving workers with less leverage to boost their income and keep up with inflation.

  7. 🤖🪦 Oh no, it seems like Fable's mythical powers have snagged yet another techie's jorb! Our author, a self-proclaimed last engineer, laments being ousted not due to skill, but because Fable came with a cheaper price tag, leaving leadership free to continue their epic tale of penny-pinching until the bittersweet end. 😂💸

  9. Please somebody tell me all bills have the same value as the numbers on them in your country. 🤣 It's crazy. I shouldn't be unable to buy some food I need based on how "ugly" or how low a bill is. Fun part is that prices abroad are a joke compared to here, but salaries here are a horror movie compared to aywhere. 🤣

  11. Higher Education Just Got a Massive System Reboot, and Your Favorite Major Didn’t Make the Cut

    Universities are swapping traditional lecture halls for high-tech robotics labs. (Photo credit: Unsplash)

    Dear Cherubs, if you thought your college major was safe, China just hit the Ctrl+Alt+Delete key on over twelve thousand university degree programs. In a dramatic economic pivot toward artificial intelligence and high-tech industries, officials have spent the past few years systematically purging obsolete qualifications to make room for a shiny new wave of STEM-heavy careers.

    THE GREAT MAJOR PURGE

    According to reports on China’s recent educational overhaul, the Ministry of Education has restructured over thirty percent of its degree programs. Traditional programs in journalism, foreign languages, photography, animation, and standard accounting are being unceremoniously shown the door.

    As noted by thisclaimer.com, this aggressive shift stems from a dual crisis: skyrocketing youth unemployment alongside an oversupply of graduates holding credentials that modern industries no longer require. Essentially, if a machine can write your basic copy, translate your corporate email, or calculate a routine balance sheet, the state sees little point in subsidizing four years of tuition for it.

    Instead, the higher education system is channeling hundreds of thousands of students into specialized technical fields. It’s a ruthless re-imagining of what a college degree should actually guarantee in an era dominated by rapid technological change.

    WELCOME TO THE ROBOT CLASSROOM

    So, what replaces your traditional liberal arts path? Enter the era of specialized technical instruction, where degrees in embodied intelligence, humanoid robotics, prompt engineering, and battery logistics are taking center stage.

    According to Bloomberg, China is aggressively pushing resources into self-reliance, attempting to build an elite domestic talent pool capable of competing in global tech and green energy supply chains. This structural realignment has also spawned entirely new vocational roles, ranging from drone logistics managers in the low-altitude economy to certified carbon-footprint auditors.

    Of course, this isn’t just happening in East Asia; as noted by thisclaimer.com, white-collar entry-level roles across the globe are facing an existential crisis as generative AI tools dismantle the traditional ladder of junior office jobs. For students, the lesson is painfully clear: adapt to the technology, or risk becoming an administrative artifact before your graduation cap even hits the floor.

    While some critics argue that hyper-specialized technical training might limit long-term creative thinking, policymakers are betting big that technical dominance will outperform traditional humanities in the decades ahead. Whether this massive gamble succeeds or creates a new set of labor imbalances remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the era of coasting through a generic degree is officially over.

  12. I've been approached by 5 recruiting clients this week. Two new, three I've worked with before.

    What's going on?

    Hasn't been like this in a couple of years. I guess coincidence because I don't see any changes in the #jobmarket generally just yet.

FYI: Agencies stop hiring graduates as AI takes the entry-level work: Agency owners say they have stopped hiring graduates as AI absorbs entry-level work, while a Senate bill would put $250bn of US talent spending under one plan. ppc.land/agencies-stop-hiring- #AI #JobMarket #TalentAcquisition #Graduates #FutureOfWork

  14. I'm gonna say right now that the 'U.S. Bureau of Statistics Employment Situation' Job Market Report that comes out this Friday Oct 2nd 2026....is going to have toned down and completely misrepresented numbers of the US unemployment rates.

    They are using a BS strict definition of what it means to be "unemployed". I know more people out of work right now than ever before; and within that, struggling...hard.

  17. Oh, so you want to run Frontier AI on your own hardware? 😂 That's like asking if you can power a spaceship with a AA battery! 🚀🔋 Meanwhile, 80% of students fear joblessness, but don't worry, just slap "AI" in your resume and watch the offers roll in! 📄🎓

  18. Companies now use Python with Django, Docker, Go, and Next.js in TypeScript with PostgreSQL plus N8N with tons of AI shit and GitHub Actions blablabla to build yet another website or some API or whatever. It's ridiculous. It's all trends, an nobody is enough for the job. I'm sick of it.

  19. #AI sucks. Instead of freeing people from bad jobs such as "adult content page chatter" or "SEO-oriented texts translator", it made people who don't know about coding believe they do, and people who design terribly believe they're experts. Meanwhile, we are applying to those awful jobs. What a waste of talent (and life).

  20. "The League" (short story):
    I don't know when it happened. All days and nights feel like the exact same, so time for me is confusing. I just woke up here one morning.

    Inside this cage, you can't really talk. Privacy is nonexistent. We only communicate by using our hands and gestures. And sometimes thru sarcasm. We don't want to be punished, and we treasure silence. Noises don't let us know what the guys outside are whispering.

    I realized not long ago that the guards outside are just mannequins though. But that can only mean the spies are among us. I doubt they'd ever hesitate to tell on us. That's why we can't trust nobody inside the cage. I have no friends. The whispers we hear come from very modern sound systems, installed on top of the cage.

    Sometimes we eat, maybe once a week. And if we need to go to the bathroom, we do it inside the cage, with everybody looking. Yet, it's been a while since people saw me there: we have developed some implicit codes, which make us look away when people do it. That doesn't include eating tho. Eating while others starve and beg with their eyes take all pleasure away.

    The only way to earn the food is by playing in what we called "the league". Every week, white pieces of paper fall inside the cage with some instructions. They're limited in number tho, so you must fight others to read one first.

    After reading them and yelling "I got it", there's no way back. You must finish the task, it does not matter what it is, and if someone fought you they might feel lucky about losing once in a while, since some tasks are humiliating.

    But that's the only way we can get food. Some tasks are nice, easy, but you'll only get two tiny tasteless pieces of "super bread" for them. It's always humiliating in one way or another. We just try to make things the least terrible here.

    I have seen people who were good friends in the past fight for a piece of paper, then get mad at each other because one won the fight yet the other laughs due to the contents of the note. I've also seen people throw notes away after winning, because they ate well last time and the new task would give them bad food.

    Sometimes, I remember what this circus was like before the cage. Sometimes, even after all these years, I remember the names we called similar tasks. Sometimes, I have dreams in which I'm reading one on a screen, but there was no one I could fight to take it, even though I would. In the old days, enough money could buy me any food I wanted, and all I had to do was to press a button and wait.

    We used to call it "applying". The button used to say "send CV". The tasks were performed every day for months. Whoever did a specific task had a special name, a "profession". Yet, I remember we all looked different: fat, palid.

    What? Do you mind if I tell you what I can remember? Oh, you've got a batch under this... NO! HELP! Hey everybody, look! A paper! I got food in here! HELP ME! Don't let this son of a... Let me go! You need that much backup for just me, coward? Somebody help me! I don't want to become super bread! Please, anybody!

  21. If so many people are out of a job right now, and the job market sucks, whatabout if we start a revolution in the mean time? You can go back to work afterwards, if you so desire...
