It would be good creative writing if you couldn't feel the vast corporate void behind these words

Eh... if this were written in high school it'd be promising. In college, not a bad first draft. In grad school, if this is the result of several revisions then you're definitely not top of the class.

It’s not even good creative writing either, it’s just nice sounding words devoid of actual meaningful substance.

Well, there’s meaning, but it’s the idiotic “you should hustle e.g. it’s not your employers job to teach you but rather you should spend time outside of work leveling up tech skills to stay competitive.”

Where’s the

“He had been doing bootcamps every day now, 4 hours a night after his 8 hour day, and had no mental energy to spend on his wife, so she left him in that situation too, because the idea that you should devote your entire life to generating value for a corporation is bonkers.”

Is this fucktard trying to imply it's the dude's fault for not having a job after 3 months? I don't have ajob after 20 months not because I don't have skills to do the job. I cannot express myself as easily. Still I am taking the L. I don't have any choice. Our society isn't exactly built on understanding.

Lol. I am glad to not have a wife or gf. It would be hell on everyone involved. Having borderline personality disorder sucks that bad.

Would make sense if he is selling recruiting & resume optimizing services or something- but from that job title he's the guy who puts the DRM on the WiFi in the touchscreen toaster oven to ensure it can't toast anymore when the company providing its cloud services goes out of business.

So my theory: that's a very competitive job market and he's looking for work, so he's posting depressing stories in the hopes that it inspires already-depressed unemployed potential competitors in his network to kill themselves. Because each one that does slightly increases his own relative odds of getting hired.

That guy's name? Tom Bombadil. He was left behind when hobbits revolutionised frolicking and not giving a shit about anything.
