[FRIAM] !RE: A million tech jobs unfilled

[Nick Thompson]

Sorry, everybody.  Ugh!

 

What I meant to write was, “At least, ask for a RAISE(!)”.  You have no idea how envious I am of you all.  Can you IMAGINE the joy I would feel if I learned that there were a million jobs unfilled for cranky former psychology professors who can’t write a ten-word email message without screwing it up!  

 

That would be glorious.

Dear Friammers, 

 

There are apparently a MILLION tech jobs going un-filled in the US – hence the panic in the tech industry concerning the immigration purge. Would this be a time for members of this list to consider seeking a better job?  Or, at least, to ask for a job?

Or demand that your boss let you work remotely and move here to Santa Fe where the coffee is good, the air (usually) clean and where you are never more than ten minutes from the head of a hiking trail? 

 

Just sayin’
