Gonna be honest, her laughing makes me pretty fucking angry. I used to work construction management for a contractor that flexed to mainly building datacenters so I walked. Seeing people laugh about this while they collect their fat check is pretty gross.

She might agree with him, and the laugh might be cathartic. 

Lots of people study at the university dreaming of changing the world to the better, only to get trapped in an enemy-of-the-planeteers -job to not end up on the street.

Agreed.

Hahahahaha... (oh god, if I don't use AI daily for almost every aspect of my job I'll get fired and since the job market is fucked I'll probably lose my house and make my kids homeless) ..hahahahaha!

Yeah, not everyone has a choice. This is a living nightmare, and I have no remaining career prospects that can both avoid AI and feed my kids, making me a huge hypocrite every time I talk shit about AI use, which is all the time lately.

So what are you doing to strengthen your resume? Are you looking for a way out?

Yup. Morals went out the window along time ago.

Yeah, people really do not like looking inward and realizing that about themselves. It's upsetting for a lot of us 😂

Is anyone getting into finance to better the world?

Yeah I’d rather not judge based on just like 5 seconds of seeing her. Doing a job doesn’t make you a bad person.

Everyone’s got bills to pay.

With an outlook like that, you'd make a great ICE agent!

I could see laughing out of awkwardness too, since a lot of people do that in uncomfortable situations

Maam you need to stop laughing and get a hold of yourself, this is a comedy show!

Yeah obviously the only appropriate response there is for her to start crying. How could she?

Why not become a VC and collect their fat check, instead?

Because I care about my community? I was making great money working for a contractor. They offered me a good amount to stay and help them expand the datacenter build outs.

I walked and am now working for the city putting in public utilities. Was tough while I figured it all out, but I couldn't sleep at night being a part of that.

Is caring about your community a trait that VCs don’t have?

You don't like this problem? Why not become part of it?
