  That makes sense after reading up more I believe I’m wrong I feel like I’d heard that they used nicotine and hadn’t fully researched and took it at face value. Thabks for the information!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bees don't have lungs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep I’m going to look at non profits and also look at unions as well.

  Thank you for your response sadly I can’t explain better without divulging internal information and politics, while I agree with you that influence and politics would be an issue everywhere as a manager or a director there are ways to shield your employees from higher ups which doesn’t happen here, we are thrown under the bus until I have to step in and explain what happened, why it happened and defend my coworkers, I have had better managers and directors and this was more of a poor manager/director in my opinion. My manager, director, all the up to the VP are from India and they are bringing the same culture from India the one I came here to get away from. It’s disheartening to hear “get with the program” from y’all, dont get me wrong but there are jobs where people don’t have to deal with this, my previous manager before the acquisition and him being layed off cared enough that this kind of non sense wouldn’t even reach me, especially stuff like this from a director, and y’all telling me “suck it up” doesn’t feel too good.

  Yea after working in the USA I was disillusioned fairly quickly when I was stepped over for promotions by people that knew somebody who knows somebody.

  It’s all about who you know and how you know them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the information, I will look more into B corp and PBCs.

  Thank you!!! bookmarking for future references.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep from the recommendations here I will be looking into non profits and see if I can get hired into one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep that’s my understanding as well, fall in line or you’re out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks!! I didn’t know of this resource will check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep moving to a significantly smaller company would be most ideal but I don’t know how feasible it is with the current market and my h1b.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep I used to work for a far better environment before the acquisition and would love to ho back to that kind of company, but it’s increasingly difficult to do now a days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea I agree a union would be a better long term fix but not sure of the viability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep exactly, and now the industry is moving back to the 2008 model of offshore devs again, as were deemed too expensive even for the exploitative rate I get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep I’m on h1b.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think/know of a software engineers union and wouldn’t k ow where to start, also as mentioned I’m on visa not sure if that affects anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, high taxation rate is a concern but not more than my sanity. And yea English came naturally and lucratively US seemed the best option in my 20s, harder to pick up a language I was never exposed to will be a challenge but should be doable I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep agreed and that why I want to exit the industry as even th3 end goal of a smaller company is to sell out to some investors or to get bought out by a larger company.

  I dont see any new tech company that genuinely cares and will not sell out but everyone has a price and that why I need to exit capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  While I agree with you, I can’t really do that as any form of push back could eventually lead to.my dismissal, I’m on visa and as such I’m very expendable there’s thousands to take my place if I slip up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, and in that case it would be best for me to move back home but the situation back home is quite dire, I have pressures from my parents to get married I’m 33 M from India and I’m hurdling towards my expiration date as it were in society, and the general situation in India insnt that great with religion and sex being the biggest points politicians exploit for a vote bank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think what I asked was a sensitive question it was about environment strategy and avoiding teams working in silos, so I don’t think it was something I needed to talk about / ask about in private, I do appreciate your perspective though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate you taking the time and your analysis, I’m not sure if its relavant but by th3 end of the 1 on 1 the director apologized to me when they realized that what i had asked actually furthered the conversation and that they were hurt that I would make that statement at the time and in that group as they felt I was just digging up old corpses, when they were explained my thought process and what I meant and what I asked and that the point of that statement was to ensure we dont fall into the same pitfalls again, I was calm and kind in the meeting. I do agree I think i have been burned out for a bit and this whole situation felt bad, and I do agree that this is an industry/employement thing that I can’t really escape from.

  I was looking into immigrating to Germany but the thing that a few people told me and caused me hesitation was the 55%(?) taxation rate that seemed high, and the language barrier I remembered back when I was in undergrad that Germany required you to learn the language and I found that intimidation at the time.
