I work in tech now, so I’m a lazy schlub. However, I’m also a college dropout out (English major) who had a ton of actual jobs in the past. Warehouse loading delivery trucks, worked in a cabinet shop, food service, etc. i
I think college grads who go into tech should have to work a normal job for at least a year before getting their tech job and making six figures right out of college.
Otherwise you end up with these entitled shitbags who complain that their company provided duck confit at lunch doesn’t have crispy enough skin (an actual thing that actually happened when i was at a big FANG company. Fucking unbelievable)
So even though I’m a techbro shitlord, i have respect for the people who work jobs.
Are you me? I’m also a lazy tech schlub now who was formerly a paint store warehouse worker, home renovation worker, etc.
Fully agree that everyone going into tech should spend real time working hard labor and retail. I genuinely feel that my non-tech experiences made me a better person and a better tech schlub.
I remember tech coworkers complaining that the wall filled with free snacks and candy didn’t have the right kind of snacks and candy, and having to hold myself back from going full Everett True.

Man i feel that complaining about the free snacks 100%.
Covid was so hard for some of these kids because they had to fend for themselves during the work day while working from home. Constant complaints.
You and i would get along great i bet :D
I’m pretty sure that we’re friends now by law.
