Like the teeming millions i'm a junior frontend developer freelancing and doing various gigs for online “startups” to pay the bills, currently going through a bit of a dry patch and having difficulty finding meaningful work. when i do find work, i feel there's an 80% chance of the job being a “bullshit job” and being fully remote post pandemic, I have no way to verify anything about my employer. add to that some impostor syndrome and paranoia and i feel like i couldn't be more alienated from the fruit of my labour. talk about capitalism. it doesn't help that the companies i work for are named as if they were little more than fronts for a giant money-laundering operation.
this subreddit has given me fresh perspective on modern day employment and the precarious nature of most middle-income professions/jobs has deservedly earned the critique that goes around here.
just my $0.02, does anyone else feel this way?
