A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wanna know a secret?
All big companies are degrading in the same way.
Teams cut down to 25% staffing with critical support roles sunsetted instead of backfilled. Revenue demands increasing quarter over quarter. Budgets declining. Profits higher than ever before, beating earnings by over 50% quarter over quarter 2 quarters in a row.
Mistakes costing more and more money, sucking up more labor to fix that is already spread thin. I’m the project lead on half a dozen projects ranging from $100k to $1.6m in capital expense each, simultaneously, by myself.
My role is not designed for project work. It’s supposed to be routine maintenance and operations. Which I’m also doing.
The entire corporate world is about to eat shit and reap what they’ve sown. And stocks will be higher than ever before.
The Western world is in free collapse, yall. Hope you realize and prepare accordingly before those funny TikToks of homeless people you watch have you in them.
Welcome to the endgame of capitalism.
Mostly agree... Not sure why you think it's limited to Western countries though unless you're including India and China as well as Japan as Western.
And since it's a feature of Capitalism, I don't imagine the rest of the world is immune to it.
