@benteh Sorry I can't help but "master in yelling at computers" is hilarious Thanks for that!

[hmig@front-end.social]

@benteh adding #getfedihired to your post would help with reach

[benteh@mastodon.social]

@hmig haha you are right i'm an idiot. will do

[hmig@front-end.social]

@benteh - happy to help

[ltning@pleroma.anduin.net]

@benteh Wtf. Why, another AI slaughterhouse?

[benteh@mastodon.social]

@ltning quite possibly… there was a big merger, and they just fired whoever seemed to have duplicate roles. so now they have something like 11-14 legacy systems, & integrations devs gone. i'm sure AI will fix it right up

[ltning@pleroma.anduin.net]

@benteh Holy shit. Sorry.

@benteh @eniko Hope his list of companies doing remote is helpful! https://taffer.ca/posts/2025/remote/

@benteh i'm so sorry, getting fired/laid-off sucks. (been there, done that )

Crossing my fingers that you find a better place to work for, soon.

@benteh pinging the only contact in Oslo I know of: @Patricia (maybe you have pointers/want to share, if you haven't already)

[benteh@mastodon.social]

@Hyperlynx GOOD point! i did not fuck up…

[duncan_bayne@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@benteh I once got (more or less) fired from a tech company, and then returned years later for a very successful stint there as a senior manager.

Getting fired doesn't mean you're useless Sometimes it just means you weren't what your employer thought they needed at the time. And sometimes they were wrong

[benteh@mastodon.social]

@duncan_bayne i know you are right… i've worked there for years, it still is hard to not feel betrayed in a way.

[ciarani@mastodon.green]

@benteh Sorry that you got laid off - my fingers are crossed for you for a new job that you like even better
