I previously was one of the owners of an IT services company for a decade, and our biggest problem *wasn&#39;t* attracting technical talent, especially White males. Getting tech things done and done right was never an issue. The biggest hurdle we faced was finding *sales* talent. In 10 years we never had anyone who could effectively sell our services. <br/><br/>IT service companies can&#39;t survive on a customer base of small to medium businesses. Those customers expect the world for $7.95 a month and are slow to pay, and sometimes don&#39;t pay at all. They&#39;re break-even at best. Also, you&#39;re always being compared to bigger service companies that can usually do more with less because they can do volume business with small to medium businesses, because they have large contracts to back that up.<br/><br/>And that was our core issue, we struggled because we didn&#39;t have the connections and clout to land a competent sales guy who had the connections and clout to land us large contracts. This meant we were shifting focus and priorities as needed to keep things afloat, which in turn created confusion among customers and even employees about what exactly we did.<br/><br/>In the middle of last year my business partners decided once again they wanted to shift focus to something I wasn&#39;t interested in, so I sold my share. Exactly one month later I landed a job doing Linux server stuff making 2.5x my previous self-employed salary.<br/><br/>So, if you want to start an IT services business, you have to base it around someone&#39;s sales capabilities. Until you have that, you don&#39;t really have a business. 2024-12-26T17:12:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqh6vrj5xm5s7f2s602z6v605td5tr7nxy06rfcyw74u2p9rut75qzyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjkhv48m4 Truly amazing that someone like Musk complains about the lack of motivated talent, and yet is at the top, the public face of, a tech industry where companies refuse to invest in developing that talent.<br/><br/>In 30 years in tech, I&#39;ve had one single employer send me to one single training course because I named it as a condition of my employment and subsequently badgered them for a year until they relented. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve never had any employer offer any type of training, education, certification, professional development, or anything of the sort. I&#39;ve had most employers pigeonhole me into a specific job for years at a stretch and never offer advancement (and rarely even a cost-of-living raise) or an opportunity to gain experience through promotion or even a lateral move.<br/><br/>All of my certifications and training have come at my time and expense. All of my increased earnings have come from grinding through the interview and hiring process yet another time. I know I don&#39;t come off well on social media, but please believe me, in person I&#39;m an intelligent, responsible, qualified adult man with three decades&#39; experience and literally 10 pages of accomplishments to my resume, and it gets sent to the same HR black hole as anyone else.<br/><br/>As I get older, over 50, I dread what may become of my career in tech. Things are going well for me now, but can easily turn bad. To read anyone telling me that Americans lack motivation and talent is infuriating as I, and others, desperately attempt to get the attention of companies hiring for jobs we&#39;re very clearly qualified for and are purposely ignored, told we don&#39;t exist, and need to be replaced with street shitters. <br/><br/>I know what the billionaires&#39; goals are, I understand the situation. I also know that the longer it continues, the less any man is invested in the American economic zone. What I don&#39;t know is how this ends.<br/> <img src="https://media.nicecrew.digital/c409cf60330f27defd8a4841adbb45068a5c4788c95e424dc1e6e2bef691274a.png"> <br/> 2024-12-26T02:15:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8q5vcyx3w57975t3cnjecdzunag4j3yemuqtpuvkwn8tajgc8faszyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjkdy5jf6 Hot bubble bath to end the weekend. 🛁 🫧 2024-12-23T01:50:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9pqfhd2khsr9p2rqfj4gep2yd0034z3hph8nnt7gf4a6av6ymykqzyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjknxpn3h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgupj8p0wja7mfwqj4f8p5ynssrmvns0m99m8qqnwp74xlht2g2aqkmjq0r'>nevent1q…jq0r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>We can&#39;t spend all day on this site complaining about NPCs and normies and mindless husks following coronahoax orders unquestioningly, and then expect that those same organisms are capable of deciding what their children, who have inherited their genes, can or cannot do. 2024-12-17T01:32:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxetxw6pdfa65t4c7sysdwlfmu2g7yjfc8uq8k7sjpqtupal0frjczyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjk7w60j3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstvzeu0ypj3x9lltumsgvzua5q43wm9agecxs2nncfj5nm4jl7eeg004rda'>nevent1q…4rda</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don&#39;t find it annoying at all, but reasonable people can have different preferences as far as user interface goes. 2024-12-01T05:13:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvz4geq4crd77zh0d4h9u9h8j2ylfs7d3dnjpp8z03pkna3c6gc5szyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjkeslsuv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdw4gwz09te9xexmy0y4gtk2x2l6f9fl7w6l2m5cnduwuwylhusdq3ltzfj'>nevent1q…tzfj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They charge a premium for a premium product.

I&#39;ve been abandoned by family, society, and government. I will never have a wife or children; most of my family is dead, insane, or too far away; friends are few and far between (although the ones I have are close); relationships with neighbors are cursory; and I have absolutely zero influence on anything that happens in my community, state, or nation. I am a zero. When I die, my things will be taken out to a dumpster and as soon as I&#39;m in the ground it will be as if I was never here. There may be a gap on the NCD timeline where my cringe used to be, but nobody will ever know what happened to me.<br/><br/>My job pays very well, but it&#39;s repetitive, monotonous, and when it&#39;s not boring, it&#39;s frustrating, And lots of jobs are probably like that, and we spend the majority of our waking hours in that state. Businesses run on fumes and any vacation time either means fear of losing a job, or double the work when you return. There&#39;s no escape, every day is so much like the day before it, and the day 100 days from now will be much like today. That&#39;s enough to make anyone into an amoeba on its own.<br/><br/>The only thing I look forward to is retirement, and even that&#39;ll probably be forced because I&#39;ll be unemployable at some point. I have no idea what I&#39;ll do with that time. <br/><br/>All the hobbies and activities I used to enjoy are now either too expensive to participate in, have been pozzed in one of a million ways, or I&#39;m no longer physically capable of keeping up. It may just be a normal consequence of aging, but I&#39;m much less able to put up with lousy people and bullshit than I was in the past, and that eliminates a lot of things.<br/><br/>So I&#39;m dead inside. My life consists of running out the clock. The only thing that really exists is the moment. I don&#39;t want to be this way, but I am. And I think the amoebas are too, for specific reasons that may vary from mine, but for largely the same broad causes. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve read here many times that it&#39;s not to anyone&#39;s credit to adapt to a sick society and become mentally ill themselves. These are the people who have adapted. It&#39;s a matter of survival. <br/><br/>I&#39;m not writing this to get anyone&#39;s condolences for my personal state of things, but I thought it might resonate with some here and provide insight. 2024-09-19T15:22:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqz9l4as9ngk42wdy670lyl5ka5av8ug204hwl806k2j6565h0lyczyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjkftxzra Would someone be so kind as to send me the pictures of the Haitians with their cats? 2024-09-15T23:51:32Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswnxkflt3s7jkhn5l48kutgdek4spg0ymvnav5dlx9yvg8nzn7u9gzyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjkv4n5zt Our drought is getting worse with no improvement in the short or long range forecast.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.drought.gov/states/ohio">https://www.drought.gov/states/ohio</a><br/> <img src="https://media.nicecrew.digital/bf53d2b8f14841441f99eca7a3cd34781d40300458a6d340d04c2f2193bddfd6.png"> <br/> 2024-09-14T15:20:20Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9mj8dfy9ghkf8eetm5w6hgkufuap7xmm0gawqxshgn0m3yn3cqfqzyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjkt60qpd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw0uasdg8h3srj54j4uxqqt8amffwp600u3c8ywwt64m4krryhl6qvshlfj'>nevent1q…hlfj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Come to think of it, I haven’t seen deer around here in weeks.

I&#39;ll admit to being a little bit like a beaten dog who cringes in the corner, and I sincerely hope there are four years coming of Trump at the helm where some genuine confidence-building wins can be racked up. To me, the outcome is a coin flip right now, at best.

They consider winning and ruling to be their natural right and don&#39;t lose a wink of sleep over stomping anyone in their way.

Presidential elections are a unique case because of the electoral college. They didn&#39;t absolutely control all state elections, but rather activated their machine in certain metro areas of strategic states to push the electoral count over the line and shut down questions.<br/><br/>As I&#39;ve commented before, they underestimated Trump in 2016 and afterwards they overcorrected because he made fools of them and gave people the notion there&#39;s some viable alternative to ZOG. They&#39;re up against him again, and they hate him with a burning fury. I think they&#39;ll certainly try the steal again, probably more blatantly, because those are the stakes in their minds. 2024-08-08T13:17:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp8e8a80kg87htdwhstawn4yn0c7hsvtd0mc9cctsp7n25gzca5tszyq239sl8lcn7lvuk4mq3grt473m8pquuqeq9v3ya9scuhnxavfvjk3rdgcg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2zn3gaetw3jjh79hmpwvx5pmlt4fnq8ch4jf4hlgqlhh6vz02jeg8xg4cu'>nevent1q…g4cu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This is what makes me think they&#39;re confident in the steal again.
