It's insane but I also notice that not every one of us can accurately express ourselves with words i n the form of a concisely written email. While being in an office let those people directly interact face to face somehow, creating a more chaotic but ultimately satisfactory outcome. Those that could express themselves or disciplined enough to do work on their own is forced to put up with this distraction but that doesn't matter. Because in the end, it all "works"!
You have to remember, the majority of us are lazy and if asked to communicate in an efficient way while being efficient, actually takes a toll on their mental capacity to fabricate this efficiency because in real life they aren't efficient. And these people are usually also non-disciplined. Think of the chaos. I know an office environment is garbage but it's what the people with money believe, therefore we follow. Taking 5 mins smoke-break here and there, gossip about relationships, worrying about the espresso machine in the pantry. Times up, death. But they rich so.
It's not that they aren't valuable but as you said they are replaceable, by India. And it's not respect it's just money. The ones that doesn't get laid off during recessions are the ones that holds business relationships and the ones that sell the products to the relationships. When the recession ends, you still need the same relationships. But at that time it also won't be hard to re-hire the worker ants. Laying off the ones with the connections would make re-building way harder in the same time-frame so the higher up always lay off the correct ones.
And I believe you. I also want to make the point that, it takes a lot of trust for anyone to recommend anybody for jobs. I admire that if you recommended people, good on you. So as you can see, you gotto be a good person for others to recommend you in return. So it's kinda a positive feedback loop or no loop at all. You're either pleasant to be with, therefore you get jobs, or you don't because they're afraid you'll fuck up their names.
It's unfair to compare me to opportunities in America because Hong Kong has such high density that words travels quickly. And I've worked in Canada so I know it can be slow.
One thing about networking, as I told others who'd like to start, is actually don't. I mean, don't go to network. Go to be curious, go to help. Not for business. If you have business in your mind it never works, unless those who are there are all on the same page, nobody likes marketers. Don't network with the people in the exact same job level, if you can avoid it, even same industry. Other Senior Sys. Admin. can't hire you. They are your competitors and if good shit comes up, why should they recommend you and not take it themselves? I network with people that has nothing to do with photography for example. A friend's friend, moms with kids wanna do a brunch. Cat cafe next door wants to do a watercolor art workshop. My primary school pal opened a Thai Boxing school in a rundown flat, etc. I just go, I just say yes. Be genuine, be yourself, don't help because it might bring business. Help because you actually want to help. Don't pretend. And sooner or later, people will trust you and trust automatically leads to business.
Good luck bro. I find helping others bring me more joy than the actual business.
I let the people disagreeing with you alone so I get more opportunities;) It's really not that hard of a concept tbh what you said. We did it our whole life. Not just for jobs but for generally anything. It's how society works. Who has time to screen Bobby before we invite him over for game night? It's all network. All the way back to my first job, NONE of my employers ever verified that I do have a degree or asked to see the paper. And here I am, heading back home carrying this piece of shit from the other side of earth.
I got my first real job from a "job finding club", on the third time there we were learning how to do resume, and she took a look and go oh you know computers? I've got a friend who needs junior tech support by emails. Went to interview and got the job. My degree is in philosophy lol but I was doing IT support. Then web design, then.com burst, graphic designer for 10 years, when I first started that I only knew basic photoshop, learned on the job and when your life depends on it you will learn quickly. And now a photographer for 6 that worked for any brand you can name around APAC. This year I am heading back to Toronto and I am gonna beat everyone because of the network established from the US firms in Hong Kong.
It involves hard work and ethics once you got the job of course. But getting it in the first place requires network. Hell, even keeping it requires network. For those who cared to read this, if you don't make your own path, you will let others who are also lazy to not make their own path make yours. You seriously want that?
There's a special move in stir-frying in a real wok, besides tossing and stirring. Once in a while you have to identify the uncooked bit of a meat and press it down with the tip of the spatula onto the bottom.
Good luck getting diarrhea from AI uncooked chicken.
This reminds me of a joke I read last year on facebook about smoking and its associated costs.
GF: You know if you've never smoked in that 15 years you would have enough money to buy a Ferrari? BF: Do you smoke? GF: No! BF: Where's your Ferrari?
I spent way more time than I should on playing games. I know it. But I can't help but wonder what kind of life I would have achieved if I never gamed. Probably the exact same life because I know more people who don't game and just as mediocre as me. We just have different "addictions".
But we're the minority. The majority don't care what OS it runs as long as it gets their job done so there's really no economic value in adopting bsd from the major manufacturers. I think to attract the mass, the best way is looks now that we've reached the cpu gpu plateau. We might probably go back to the time when Motorola used to make weird phones.
GTA Online has come a long way since it first launched. When it first came out it's bullshit free for all killings. Nowadays it can be played hardcore, youtube gta heist world records. It's fun playing with friends. I enjoy survival and parachuting very much.
No I am saying if you had the awareness to choose between killing the other driver vs steering left and getting hit by a truck, choose the former. And you need practice to make those decisions starting with coca cola, else your family will be very sad.
That's because they never had my lesson, which I called "Coca-Cola". When you're at a ball game and you are holding 2 cups of coca cola without caps on (this was int he old days) and some fucker ran in the hallway and bump into you. You are most likely to have spilled the coke on yourself because instinctively we are good people and really go out of our way to harm others. However my uncle taught me this great lesson. If the fuckers don't care, don't care for them. Next time, when someone bumps into you, spill the whole shit on them. They are also less likely to be running around like idiots in the future.
If you've been bullied like this in a crowded fast-food restaurant, you'd know. Many people won't give way and even if you try your best it's unavoidable that you see a collision. Instead, lift the tray up to the face height so that they gtfo cuz they know you can't see them and if they don't give way, their face will most likely be in danger. It all sounds anti-social but damn it works.
It doesn't have to be completely butt naked does it? Like seriously they need the hash of your dick to know it's you? Can't just use faces, arms and everything else but no?? They need you dick!;)
I use my real name in everything so fuck you. Does the C stand for China now? A man can't photoshop shit no more? Also, this whole thing can be a scam. The guy could be CNN himself to prevent future photoshopping.
If you think a 50 50 is balance then you're scammed. Let's ignore the fact that you only have 1 life and it encompasses everything you do it in including work. You'd be hard press to do a life life balance if you don't even have to work. Let alone this bs balance you're sold to.
Back to strategizing the groupthink retraining matrix lol.
They are 12 year old kiddies who can't wrap their head around that figure when they can buy 2 ps4. Why one 1080 ti?
But if you're like me who pays 1500 rent every month. 700 is spare change tbh. Don't even need to be rich to do it. As parents said. It's just phone price.
Those were the days man. We cherished every byte. Didn't have my own line had to wait till 10pm till I used the modem. It trained us all to be night dwellers.
But alas, life isn't as simple. That dude who you sacrificed for. Who invented the solar panels? Turns out he became a sex offender serial killer next year. Made an impact alright.
That's why this is such an interesting topic. All those people on their high horse. When faced with mortal danger. Will they stand up to the dudes with box cutters? Or let the planes crash into the towers?
Guys! This is awesome! Now all it takes is for one guy to fly a drone without a camera into "Drone Slayer"'s backyard. Hold hover for a few minutes and let him shoot it down. Then sue.
Profit??
Of course I know there are people flying without camera for enjoyment but those aren't the ones doing his backyard. The ones who fly it for fun for the joy of flying do it in safe areas, unlike me where a crash could have injured someone: Bad Example.

that made me chuckle haha. good shit
feeeeemale!!!
May I introduce you to the game called "Postal" sir? :D Have fun!
This reminds me of a joke I read last year on facebook about smoking and its associated costs.
GF: You know if you've never smoked in that 15 years you would have enough money to buy a Ferrari?

Clearly a scam if you ask me.
Son of a bitch! George isn't Chinese!
I use my real name in everything so fuck you. Does the C stand for China now? A man can't photoshop shit no more? Also, this whole thing can be a scam. The guy could be CNN himself to prevent future photoshopping.
The first time I saw that was probably more than a decade ago. Right after I was kicked out of an electrical engineering degree.
4MB of ram. Had to buy 4 more at 55 dollars per to run Ultima 8. Being a lab assistant wasn't so bad :)
Those qemm days amirite?
