Techies Working for Peanuts

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the at-least-you-can-eat-peanuts dept.

The San Francisco Chronicle has a story about laid-off techies getting desperate and going to work for, well, nothing. No offense to these people, if you're up against the wall you do whatever you can, but I hope they're aware that most of them are not going to get even the slightest compensation for their time.

    That's the funniest thing I've read all day. I really hope someone mod's this up.

    Let's play "spot the discrepancy"! I pick:

    a) I've maxed my CC's
    b) I've always managed my money rather well

    Do I win? Do I? Whoohoo!

    You have no idea how many people I know who are relocating. My wife and I are also looking to relocate.

    I wonder if you understand what is about to happen to Omaha because of your post. Did you ever read or see The Grapes of Wrath? The part where all the people in Oklahoma are packing up their families and belongings into trucks because they heard that there were some jobs picking vegetables in California? You're about to get a few thousand hungry engineers arriving in Omaha.

    One thing is for sure. No one in Omaha is posting employment ads.
