This is something you learn the hard way about neoliberal meritocracy..."They only hire the best and you fight to get there, you're the best until you inevitably aren't at your best...and once you aren't at your best even for a moment of weakness, then you are not the best...and you never were". This is why everyone needs protection from a work culture that burns through people.
You are all welcome to Europe for that. Come on over.
You don’t want us…..
I dunno, if they create a braindrain, I’m okay with that.
They don’t need to leave the US to create a brain drain. It’s happening naturally haha
For now anyway. Europe is not immune to fascism.
Definitely not, but we still have much more favorable worker laws.
definitely. we have to fight, and HARD, to not fall into what America is becoming.
Hear hear 📣
No thanks, I don't want to see this side of the ocean get ruined too
Actually we're managing that on our own soon, I think. 🫣
those aren't the ppl that want to come here.
Right, I'll just conjure up a work visa for my bullshit job, sell my house and belongings, and leave my family and friends behind. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
🤷♂️ Just saying you're welcome to come afaic. 🙂
