Once again, Big Tech reminds us that they hate employee freedom.


  • The CEO of European ride-hailing app Bolt is mandating workers return to the office 12 days a month.
  • In a memo, Markus Villig called it a "disgrace" that fewer than half of staff went in more than 2 days a week.
  • He said the policy will help Bolt "retain an intense culture" and "return to being a high-performance" company.
The CEO of European mobility app Bolt didn't mince words earlier this month when calling workers back to the office.

Grossed over $100K for the year, but after the taxes, I really only took home $75K :francis:. $100K salary really ain’t shyt.
yeah, it blows fast after deductions and adding my son to my bennies last year cost more for his portion than me.

Been approached for a few roles- was hoping for this promotion but I'm not gonna hold my breath anymore.

Having to support another person dries the money up quick :francis:

  • Currently on step 3 for a in house Senior Workday role (They reached out to me)
  • Title, duties, and salary are all exactly what im looking for but they want me to relocate (from ATL to Alabama 🤮)
  • They are 4 days in office and 1 day remote :smh:
  • During my 1st 2 interviews (both with the 2 managers of this team) they expressed that they haven't been able to find the talent they're looking for locally and the on-site piece is more a leadership decision than their own (one even said she's been pushing back against it)
  • Next they want me to come and visit on-site, I've received very high praise so far so im expecting an offer.
  • If/when the offer comes im going to call their bluff on relocating :heh:

The market is saturated and most advice is outdated. Dropping everything to get into tech as a career pivot is financial suicide at the moment. Young people can, and should, take advantage of college grad programs. But a self taught entrant is going to get passed over.
Damn man smdh!

Too many former big tech employees on the open market for newcomers to walk right into a job.
