Title, start date and time, job title is about all that’s on the “contract”.

Rolls and responsabilities, not anything else, are not defined.

To where?

Somewhere with a substantial pay reduction that does NOT want me there and likely requires I learn a new language in midlife.

I’m fine, it’s not a hellscape here, there are problems everywhere.

My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.

That’s cute you believe that

Bullshit.

Hell they are in the same time zone, it’s just a straight shot down i75. What’s this opposite side of the country crap?

They are different, but a swing that big to the left in Florida is almost impossible without a national swing of serious size, thus Michigan which leans left already would be in the bag.

Unfortunately it’s not a bait and switch, there real issues in how we’re failing boys and men are surely contributing to this concerning trend.

Especially when we blame the victims.

These “True Men” ass holes are simply swooping in to prey on the young men who’ve been left behind, like any cult leader would.

It’s highly improbable though. If she flips Florida, a state she’s down in despite the headline, she most likely won Michigan by a wide margin.

It’s possible, but like pigs learning to fly possible.

No longer true with real ID.

It really is also a states rights thing. The federal government, by design, has no say in how elections or driver’s licenses work.

That they have stepped in to the driver’s license space is an overstep of their authority, honestly.

The federal government is not the sovereign entity, the many states are.

Where are you crossing? Around here the population on both sides of the border are pretty indistinguishable, except for accent.

Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

I’m talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example… Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it’s untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs… They don’t get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

“IT people” here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

It’s been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

2016 is well after 9/11/2001… People where already very I jaded on the Internet.

I suspect you where just too young to be jaded yourself yet.

There will be political violence no matter what the election outcome. If he wins it will be post inauguration. If he loses it will be to try and take power.

There has already been too much political violence this election cycle with two assassination attempts.

Until Trump and his MAGA party are put in their place, either by rule of law or the impact of that violence, we will have violence.

Depends on what flag the boat is flying and what port it left and returned too after.

Terrible take, she’s not a politician and not interested.

Now Gretchen Whitmer might have been a better candidate had we been able to have a primary.

I mean, yes and no. There’s biology that drives human behavior, as much as we want to pretend otherwise and physics are responsible for scarcity.

Given our biological programming and scarcity of resources there isn’t an economic system that can “be fair and equal” at any scale beyond hunter gatherer tribes.

The numbers, any way you slice it, are 50/50 right now.

Pennsylvania is anybody’s game, Georgia is ever so slightly in Trump’s favor but even winning Georgia won’t get Harris over the line on its own if she loses Pennsylvania.

This is terrifying, honestly.

Trump won Michigan by less then 10,000 votes in 2016. Tightest presidential outcome in the states history.

And that was after Hillary both ignored and insulted the rust belt.
