You need at least two in today's economy. I personally have & recommend 3. My highest-paying tech job is like $170k-ish which simply isn't sustainable. My other two are about $130k each which means I survive.

Meetings suck. That's why I push for Control of meetings. When I have Control, the meetings are Short.

People survive on $40k. You can't manage $170k? What kind of consumerist brain rot is this? How many pounds of prime cuts and top shelf liquor do you actually need to stay alive, and how much are you consuming to maintain that 400 lb frame? Absolute loser behavior.

The $40k poors will literally have a higher net worth than you by the time they die, lol.

Explain what your project just got cancelled means? Is that like the thing you've been working on the last couple months, but there are other projects? Or like your whole division is no longer going to operate?

This guy Techs ^

The reason I was primarily hired just got paused. The whole division hasn't been shitcanned but they are also connected to my project. A new project has emerged to take its place that I'm not involved with.
