Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

      So you think you’re too good to eat shit? Wait until you have to like I do.

      Bro, maybe I don’t think you should have to eat shit either.

        It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of industry hiring, which is pretty depressing and toxic if you’re a software engineer currently looking for work.

      Statistically you’re far more likely to get laid off then he is.

          Oh I see. Well your anecdote completely debunks statistics that show people without degrees get laid off nearly three times as often as those that do. I kneel.

      I’d sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.

        Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.

        You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time…

          The $800 is to be a game dev for their new release: warehouse associate.
