This is kind of where I'm at. I could buy a US made shotgun for 2-3x a foreign one, or I could buy the foreign one which is just as effective against billionaires and use the saved money to help my community more.

A company I do work for sometimes recently had an open req, within 48 hours they had received over 400 applications.
Another 300 or so over the next few days following.
It then took a month to wade through them all (even with automated help) and do some preliminary phone screens.
Another couple few weeks to do legitimate interviews with prospects.
Another week to decide.
And then executive leadership claimed the company didn't have the budget anymore and closed the req down.
Insane.
Are they intended as a conversationalist?
Honestly if I didn't live literally across the nation I'd maybe consider it.
The geographic spread of the US makes things like this difficult. It makes organized revolt difficult too. But hopefully not impossible.
Wahhh, cry more.
Ah I should have clarified, they own the building. But otherwise yes, you're right.
Also they spelled Perplexity wrong.
Also I stopped using Perplexity, despite a 2 year free premium membership, when the CEO decided to be a dipshit.
Every single one of my jobs in the last 5 years or so has stated that remote work has undeniably increased productivity and output, as well as general morale.
Many of them have sold all their offices so they couldn't even RTO if they wanted to.
For some reason one of them still keeps the 7 floor office building and even a receptionist and security guard...despite about 5 people working from there on any given day. But hey, whatever.
Why aren't we just burning these places down?
