    Every company that I worked for that began outsourcing, two things happened.

    1. I leave the company. 99% of the time, it was me looking for a new role anyways.

    2. Company reaches out to me if I’m willing to do freelancing/contact work, as the outsourced code is garbage.

    It’s a lie so they can say they looked but couldn’t find any qualified candidates, so they are going to use AI instead

        Trucking is enormous, therapists, mental health, nurses, doctors, palliative care, stripers, data analysts, AI, software development, real estate agents, buyers, store managers, teachers, substitutes or full-time, assisted care specialists, there’s a huge dearth of civil servants and public health officials, scientists in every sector.

        All of the creative, customer service and retail jobs if you don’t want to do any of the above mentioned.

        Are you curious about something in particular?

          The reason there’s room in trucking is because the job sucks and the pay sucks. People would rather work construction and sleep in their own bed.

            I appreciate you agreeing with me.

            Would you care to address the limitations of the other two dozen jobs that you personally don’t like, regardless of your elaborate critical irrelevance to the fact that there are plenty of jobs available?

              Available jobs that don’t pay a living wage don’t help anyone. I have no idea about the circumstances of the other ones you listed, so why would I comment on them? I don’t talk about of my ass.

          The meme is specifically referring to companies being dishonest about the hiring location. This isn’t a meme blaming workers in Singapore.
