Same.

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.

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

Thank you!!! bookmarking for future references.

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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks ago:
Thanks!! I didn’t know of this resource will check it out.

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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around? 3 weeks ago:
Yep I’m on h1b.

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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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.
- Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around? 4 weeks ago:
Yep I shall look into non profits and try my luck to see if I can land a job there.
- Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around? 4 weeks ago:
Yep, I used to work for mid sized company and it was amazing, problem is no small(?) to mid size company seem to want to sponsor visas.
- Comment on Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around? 4 weeks ago:
Thanks so much for your reply, sorry for the delay I got distracted and was watching a yms video, the issue is the visa a lot of places I would love to apply yo but th3y can’t/won’t sponsor a visa.
Though a non profit does sound like a better option for me I will try and look into open positions that would sponsor a visa.
