Könnte das auch in deiner Firma passieren? :D

Es dauerte etwa 20 Jahre, bis es normal wurde, dass Menschen Flaschen sammelten, um ihren Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten, und dass das Leben von Sozialhilfe auch als „normal“ galt. „Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.“ (Art. 1 Abs. 1 Grundgesetz) Nimmt das jmd heute noch ernst, oder ist es nur noch ein Satz in irgendeinem Buch? Wenn man ein "normaler Arbeiter" ist egal in welchem Job, kann man sich heutzutage praktisch N-I-C-H-T-S mehr leisten. Wohnungen in Zürich kosten 2x wie vor 10 Jahren, der Lohn ist ziemlich der Gleiche. Wie steht es jetzt mit der „Würde des Menschen“? Es wird erst schlimmer, bevor es besser wird, oder? @radicalliving

Jemand hat sich lustig gemacht, da in einer Stellenanzeige nach Deutschkenntnissen auf C2-Niveau gefragt wurde. Meine Antwort ⬇︎ Was haltet ihr davon?

Ich sehe KEINEN "Business Nutzen" in KI-Notizenersteller für in 99,999999% der Fälle. Toll, oder? „Die KI-Revolution ist da.“

you. can. leave.

Wenn du "Initiative zeigst", gib's mehr Arbeit, ja, aber wenn es zu Entlassungen kommt, wird dich niemand entlassen🤷‍♂️, kein schlechter Deal imho.

do you feel it also

me when a canddiate signs after a 3months hiring process which seems to be standard for some reason in Switzerland-2026.

anyone knows regular workers, im in tech lala land for +10yrs is this true

I like the part about the banana the most.... because its true!!

Iwan to old client: If you hire we can help. Client:" Right now, we're experiencing the same phenomenon as everyone else: AI, and that's leading to fewer people...." Who else?

It is true that companies stopped hiring juniors, but then again, can't you do work at 5x speed now? 🤷‍♂️ just preted tha you're NOT a junior. at this point, i would say "stretching the truth on the cv" is OK, if you can deliver when hired.

Will you believe my recruitment agency started with me going to hundreds of meetups with a 10CHF t-shirt saying "WANT A TECH JOB NOW IN ZURICH , SPEAK TO ME NOW" : D ✌️🤷‍♂️ Some nice man remembered about me - by posting in a group :D (worst haircut ever.🙈)

is this happening

it gets worse before it is getting better. clients assume all coding costs nothing albeit ACTUAL coding still costs something.

no need to keep strictly business (in Switzerland) but this post is essentially recruitment.

how to take phone screens : D

Well written cold outreach to me; matches all things I would expect from someone educated IN SWITZERLAND writing such outreach; I would like to give this guy a job. It's just technically really extremely hard I repied "Deine Nachricht ist extrem gut geschrieben. Es ist fast unmöglich, wenn du keinen EU-Pass hast, aber sende gern den Lebenslauf und ich ping 1-2 Kontakte.

did i went too far with this advice? cv quesiton: is it go to sometimes straight out make up stuff and lie ? if one HAS the skills..
