jobseeker have done their part. udah upgrade skills, perbaiki CV, apply ke mana mana, ikut tes dan interview berkali kali, tp hasilnya masih rejection atau ghosting. maybe it’s time to admit that the job market is fucked instead of acting like candidates aren’t trying hard enough

My Gen Z cousin recently joined a corporate job, completely unaware of how office life works. Yesterday, she called and said, “You know, we have a fixed lunch time here. We can only eat during that time. What if I get hungry earlier? And we only get 45 minutes for lunch. I have only 3 paid leaves a month and we’re not even allowed to be more than 10 minutes late. The shift is 9 hours long. We have to work the entire day. And yesterday, my manager was rude to me too.” I asked her what he said, and she goes, “He said, if you don’t know how to do something, ask someone, but please don’t make mistakes because it’s a crucial project.” Then she goes, “How am I supposed to survive here? I’m already losing my aura, my mental health is COOKED and I’m gonna end up with dark circles. Girl, I didn't sign up for this.” 😭 I couldn't stop laughing. 🤣🤣

There is this gen z coworker of mine that did not show up for work for four days and when HR reached out he just said, "I'm never coming back and I didn't have to give a notice" , you should have noticed two weeks ago that I was about to quit. Ended the mail with warm regards.

It was 2 PM, and I was stuck in a Zoom meeting about the company’s budget. Honestly, my mind was somewhere else entirely. While everyone was busy discussing numbers, my landlord texted me about a leak. I quickly replied, “It’s still dripping a little under the sink. Let me know when the plumber can come over” A few minutes later, our department head asked for feedback on the Q4 budget. I wanted to contribute something useful, so I typed out a professional response in the Zoom chat and hit Enter without thinking twice. That was when everything went wrong. Instead of my carefully written business response, I accidentally sent my message to the landlord to all 47 people in the meeting, complete with a sweating-face emoji. In a room full of finance professionals, it sounded like I was describing a medical emergency rather than a leaking sink. The chat went quiet. Nobody said a word. Then, in my panic, I accidentally unmuted my microphone and let out the most ridiculous gasp imaginable. I quickly typed, “Sorry, wrong chat” Thankfully, my manager laughed it off and joked that he hoped the plumber wasn't charging by the hour. Everyone eventually moved on, but I was still cringing about it long after the meeting ended. Since that day, I've made it a habit to double check my clipboard before sending anything in a work meeting. Some lessons are simply too embarrassing to forget.🎬🍿

My goylennial husband thinks it’s weird that in my early 20s I spent my money on travel instead of getting a driver’s license #agegap

The worst coworkers you'll meet in your career: - The Middle Manager: schedules a meeting to plan the meeting, then asks why nobody has time to work - The HR Lady: "Let's keep this between us." Then she cc's legal. - Karen from Accounting: rejected your $14 lunch receipt, approved the VP's $900 steak dinner - The Reply-All Guy: answers a 400-person email with "Thanks!" - The Recapper: "Just to quickly recap..." then repeats the entire 30-minute meeting - The Per My Last Email: hasn't smiled since 2019 - The Work Friend: the only reason you haven't quit. Just put in two weeks' notice.

about 3 years ago, micro1 lost 60% of its revenue overnight and almost went bankrupt. today, i'm proud to share we've surpassed $1B annual run rate while remaining historically profitable. it’s been a special journey. we’re grateful for every struggle, moment, and person who has been part of it. we've taken a very untraditional path to get here. our core team is only ~180 people, spanning 14+ countries, and fully remote. many of our decisions sacrifice hundreds of millions of revenue and slow us down short term. but we believe they compound into advantages that are impossible to replicate long term. the long term is now. these are the 8 principles that made micro1 a leader in the data industry and will soon make us number one: 1.) human 1st AI: treat the tens of thousands of experts helping train models with absolute best-in-class care. our goal is to make AI training one of the largest, highest paying, and most enjoyable job sectors in the world. 2.) U.S. first: we refuse to work with adversarial nations, or export data that improves models against the interests of Americans. 3.) long-term research over short-term ARR: invest in deep research, products, and infrastructure for years from now, not just the next customer pipeline. 4.) proper incentives for intensely hard work: no arbitrary requirements like 996. inspire people to work extremely hard with outlier incentive structures instead of forcing weekend work. we’ve maintained close to 100% core team retention as a result. 5.) stay lean and global: we’ve reached $1B run rate with ~180 people, and intend to slow team growth significantly from here. exceptional talent is found around the world, and pedigree is the wrong thing to over-index on. 6.) execution alignment: company to retain a streamlined board so we can optimize for the next several decades, remain light-weight and dynamic, and take bold & calculated risks. 7.) abundant intelligence improvement: invest in building data generation models to make high-quality datasets and RL environments dramatically less expensive and more abundant. 8.) scale data on realism and horizon: realism brings the complexity of the real world into training models, while horizon extends how long models can work and how much complexity they can handle. both have enormous room to scale, and we’re pushing the limits of both. additionally: after surpassing $500M run rate this summer, we priced our Series B at a $4B valuation, alongside a ~$25M tender to give our early employees liquidity as we build for the long term. the round was led by Dream Ventures, a longtime supporter and one of our earliest investors, alongside Microsoft, Javelin, Flybridge, G Squared, Up Partners, and LG. we’re also grateful to be backed by incredible industry leaders, including Guodong Zhang (co-founder of xAI), Andy Fang (CTO of DoorDash), Igor Babuschkin (co-founder of xAI), Behnam Neyshabur (founder of Mirendil), Jerry Tworek (ex-VP of Research at OpenAI), and many more. data is on its way to becoming the largest industry humanity has ever seen, and we're certain this is just the beginning. best, Ali

bro was just trying to help his cute coworker and somehow ended up looking guilty as hell 😭💀

It's Friday and I'm already mentally negotiating with myself about how much work I can realistically get done before the weekend. The list says 12 things. I'm thinking 4. Maybe 5 if the iced coffee is particularly powerful.
