He's running out of inexperienced engineers to burn through. He statedv early on that he wanted to create a surplus of engineers to drive down the cost.
That cost being, paying the engineers' salaries.
I work pretty closely with a lot of young engineers. My work brings them in as interns, hires them, but doesn't pay them very well and after 2 years we have new engineers because they've all found better jobs. Saturating the market with talent really hasn't worked out the way he wanted it to, because as it turns out that's nothing new.
So now he's gotta find a new way to pay engineers less.
I imagine it would be something like this:
And how about healthcare? Or will accepting the offer enroll me in clinical trials to have my brain implanted into a robot? Robots don't need healthcare, pay, sleep, time off, or any of the other things fleshies need to live. Of course, the organic components, such as the brain and possibly spinal cord will require occasional maintenance, but the upkeep cost for those is minimal
POV Me after having my brain put in an Optimus robot: [Says "Kill Me" repeatedly]
*must relocate to shithole work site with self funded relocation where labor rights have been repealed and report to duty 6 days a week for minimum 14 hour shifts. 20 for crunch time. We make 996 look like child's play!
MALLC!!!! - Make America Look Like China.
I mean, it helps either way you read it
He'll buy you a horse! He'll fire you if you tell him it's a garter snake.
So real it hurts reading it.
No middle managers is pretty attractive ngl
If the CEO is Musk, I'd take as many managers between him and me as I can.
Does it have to be a python? Does a colubrid count?
Well, except scams like the H1B is a pretty old way of setting that up...
