I'm not like a super political person, and from my understanding its the idea that if I make a $10 thing for the bossman, but only get $1 that is wage theft?

But like, when I took the job I knew how much I was going to make?

Or is it like, people are literally not getting their paychecks?

I'm slightly inebreated, lazy, and don't want my algorithms to start becoming politically charged from googling and youtubing this. I'm already collapse aware and my mental health is ultra fragile.

Help me Lemmy wan kenobi, you're my only hope.

Last time I checked there aren't nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I've felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just wanted to see if anyone else has this happen?

I'm looking to get the A+ and Networking certs only because I'll probably be laid off soon and I want to make myself even more marketable. Right now I'm a software developer with 8 years of Java experience, and from my initial studying I think the certifications shouldn't be too hard.

However, I may not have the time (or money) to make multiple attempts, so I was wondering if anyone had any good resources tailored to folks who are already technical to help me study.

I know some folks might say I don't need them, but my resume needs more buzzwords to get picked up by recruiters and hiring managers, and I'm open to all kinds of work as long as it keeps a roof over my family's head.

I spent 8 years doing Java development, layoffs are coming soon (my second time this year! 😊), I know how hard it is to get a job out there, and I'm tired of Java. So I was wondering if anyone had any advice for pointing my career in a new direction. I'd like there to be some technical aspect to it still, which is why I am posting here instead of elsewhere.

Right now I'm really into Lua, Vue.js, and am considering picking up CompTIA and AWS certifications just to make myself more marketable.

I have good people skills too, so if a career involves talking more than coding I'll be okay with that. I spent part of this year teaching programming and loved it (but due to the state of the industry many academic businesses are closing down).

Or you know, should I sell my home and just go live in the woods until I die of malnutrition because at this rate we'll all end up there anyways?

yeehaw!

I have stuff I'd like to post, but I can't find the appropriate community to post to. So is there like a "hey I have no clue where to post this" type of community where the general lemmy public could point you in the right direction?

Also what do we call ourselves? Lemmyors?
