Sadly having Facebook / Meta / Twitter on their CV makes them more employable, despite the lack of morals and ethics of their previous employer(s)

@zleap that might be. I wonder if employers might start shunning those people for their employment history... because businesses can't really afford to have unethical staff.
@lightweight @zleap
I have a B.S. in Comp Sci and get rejected for retail jobs. I currently work full time at a fortune 50 company.
Want to explain wtf is up with the current job market?
Optimistically, it's just me- but that could be convoluted.
@lucifargundam @zleap not sure. I worked as a research scientist for 5 years after finishing my MSc in engineering. Got frustrated with the organisation's poor management and their use of MS WIndows, so I quit and started my own company at age 29. I was able to avoid anyone else's incompetence other than my own. Worked out quite well. Now working for a charitable foundation, which is making the world a better place.
@lucifargundam @zleap my point being that starting your own company is always an option. I recommend setting up a consultancy (sole trader) company (I still have one). It also makes it easy for you to work for companies with minimal commitment and more control, and test the 'fit' for your ethics. I think it also impresses a prospective business customer with your organisation. If you find a company you're happy to work for, you can become an employee if you (and they) prefer.
The internet also makes working remotely far easier , tools like @libreoffice @bigbluebutton and many others also make it easy to work, collaborate, @disroot has a stack of resources for that too.
If you need help or clients then there are enough people here who share the same values, which should help build a great port folio.
what we need now is a federated alternative to linked In, something much simplier but where, like here people have conversations rather than shouting about them selves in to the ether trying to sell you something.
