@ShiinaBR I've got a crazy idea: they should return to the Unreal franchise. Crazy, I know.

Epic Games will have a company meeting tomorrow to discuss the roadmap for Fortnite and Epic Tim Sweeney said Fortnite now needs fresh seasons, gameplay, story, and live events. The next generation of Epic Games is planned to start at the end of the year with "huge launch plans"

@JobsNowPR Do you know of anyone who has actually filled a PERM role? I'm beginning to think employers just put American resumés in the shredder.

@War4theWest Oh I'm weeping. My only other option is to somehow get a poverty wage job, that I'm way overqualified for, while getting emotionally abused by a pencil neck corporate yes man. I actually need a reason not to shoot myself right now. @ChiefEngineerCE @mattforney @USTechWorkers

@TimSweeneyEpic The only way you can receive forgiveness is a new Unreal Tournament game.

Tim Sweeney
Tim Sweeney@TimSweeneyEpic·
In the coming days, employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality folks. An important thing to understand is that Epic never lowered our hiring standards as we grew, and the layoff wasn't a performance-based "rightsizing" as companies call it nowadays. It's a sound bet that anyone with Epic Games on their resume is in the top few percent of their discipline.

Sad news for Epic Games. Hope the efforts to turn things around can work. gamesbeat.com/epic-games-lay…

mechanical engineering: *$75k/year after 10 YOE, jobs available only in rural towns. requires degree, 50% drop out rate due to difficulty* software engineering: *$300k/year after 2 YOE, can live literally anywhere. didn’t go to college*
em m0shouris@emm0sh

mechanical engineering: *vendor, peck typing while looking at keyboard* “Sorry, but the soonest we can do is six weeks.” software engineering: *vendor, reaching out to you for the third time* “We’re willing to discount again to 25% of cost and have you onboarded by Tuesday.”

@stephenehorn We'll never get H1B, OPT, and other, visa reform because Congress is making too much money off of it.

This is how the system should work The H-1B visa was never sold to the American public as an immigration pathway for Indians It was intended to fill "specialty" jobs for which qualified Americans couldn't be found So when you lose your H-1B job, of course you should go home

Hany Girgis@SanDiegoKnight

This timeline escalated fast: Laid off on H-1B Filed B2 near the end of the 60-day grace period Found a new job Filed for an H-1B transfer Then this happened: B2 denied Grace period not recognized Out of status Final notice from USCIS: Leave the country or pay a $100,000 fee and reprocess abroad Timeline went from employed → compliant → out of status in weeks This is how the system is currently being applied reddit.com/r/h1b/s/yzktgt…

@RedPillRabbit It is because Congress is also getting kickbacks from this scheme.

Neon White Rabbit@RedPillRabbit·
An INDIAN that doesn’t belong in our country uses fraud to enter our country because they have an automatic IT job in the US — even though they have fake credentials and no skills. …while an American with real credentials and skills can’t get a job even after applying to thousands of jobs (many fake postings and Indian companies stealing his resume to apply to an Indian). How are these MASSIVE INDIAN FRAUD NETWORKS not being arrested and stopped?
Wolf 🐺@WorldByWolf

Remind me why we allow any immigration at all when we have native Brits applying for over 5,000 jobs without success?

How am I supposed to get a miserable minimum wage job by omitting my engineering experience when that's all my experience? #overqualified

@ACTBrigitte Ain't going to happen. Congress is paid off to keep the machine turning.

I believe we should eliminate the H-1B Visa as it exists today.
