  • Corporations do this to maximize profit. The US government is supposed to maximize helping citizens, it’s what we pay for. The U.S. government is essentially a non profit.

    For the US government, profit-motivated strategy is inappropriate.

    We need the people they fired to be doing their job even when there isn’t a pandemic. Having these people in staff is exact the same as hiring firefighters and cops, they’re for responding to emergencies. And just like firefighters and cops, they do investigation, training and research when there isn’t an emergency.

    These people should not have been culled. Doing so when there isn’t an imminent pandemic is stupid enough, but sacking them when there’s already several outbreaks in progress is monumentally stupid. IIts like fireing the firefighters as they’re driving to the fire. It’s the exact kind of move I’d expect a short term thinker who has never dealt with personal consequences to act. It’s an incredibly idiotic thing to do.

    “Do leetcode hard on screen share for 12 hours over three months, and then we’ll let you know if there’s any openings anyone here actually wants to hire you for…then the teams will interview you. Oh and if we don’t find a fit within a year of the phone screen you start all over lol”

    Google, meta, etc. Fuck them all.

    Bonus: If you score really high on the pointless quizzes, then you might get a chance at a remote job, which puts you first on the chopping block for layoffs every quarter!

    Extra bonus: There’s an office near you, but we’re only hiring somewhere else right now that had a shitload of layoffs recently due to shitty management that didn’t get fired, so you’ll have to uproot your entire life and place your future in our hands for the privilege.
