Nice find - thanks for sharing!

You've trolled multiple companies here, while you've been unemployed for 20 months.

Your bitterness is not helping anyone, especially yourself.

Tall order, but a large budget for the role would improve your odds; what's the rough salary range?

Keeping score is still the primary driver.

Wealth and power, it's all relative. And the competition only becomes fiercer as those measures increase (the top performers being the most competitive).

The person with $5B is not thinking in terms of "enough." Their sights are set on surpassing the $6B guy.

I wouldn't call it morally indefensible for companies to make layoffs after the hiring irrational exuberance that occured in 2021. They're trimming fat.

I would use that label for a Private Equity firm leveraged buyout, followed by a complete gutting of employees, then a quick flip for profit.

In-office employers are raising compensation to compete against remote companies. Especially in tech, they need to up the ante if they're going to attract top talent.

Stock market: investors like that companies are correcting for the over-hiring that peaked in 2021 - lower costs & higher productivity.

Housing prices: have barely increased since late 2022 in most major cities (falling in cities like Austin). Still, you're right, they're unreachable for most.

Gold: it's not the traditional safe haven investment it used to be. Its correlation with stock prices is much higher than it was in the old days.

Bitcoin: I will never understand!

Nice! How would you say this differs from Wappalyzer, Builtwith, StackShare or similar tools?

Fingers crossed it's satire, or my mind will just shatter.

In 50 years, $1 million will be worth around $225,000 (assuming 3% inflation).

Useless statistic - people unable to retire are not part of the survey.

A more valuable stat would be % of people over 65 with $1M+ in savings.

It's the other way around: Dell is making public a policy that's unwritten at tons of companies.
