Survey: Tech Pros Ignoring Work-Life Balance Is a Myth (dice.com)

Nerval's Lobster writes: Are tech professionals really willing to live on energy drinks, and sleep on office couches, in order to get the job done? For many, the answer is "no." In response to a new Dice survey (Dice link, obviously), only 5 percent of employees at technology companies said that work-life balance wasn't a top priority for them. Contrast that with nearly 45 percent of respondents who said they wanted more of a work-life balance, even if their current position made that difficult. More than 27 percent of those surveyed also characterized work-life balance in the tech industry as a "myth." It seems that, despite all those companies talking publicly about wanting to give employees a better work-life balance (complete with on-site gyms and unlimited vacation time and... stuff...), it's not really working out for a lot of people. (And that's something that people have been calling out for some time.)

... and having children. The moment you have a child you become a burden for the company. Trump and the other tycoons want to change it. Trump wants to make getting babies impossible. He wants to stop immigration. He wants that american population gets older, without any young people, and dies out, slowly. With an unpopulated america he has more space for his golf resorts.

But about your comment, Trump is opposed to illegal immigration. He has said nothing opposing legal immigration.

Unless you're Syrian. Or a Muslim. Or trying to escape a war-torn country.
