It's crazy how it's legally permissible to be fired for literally no reason

If you live in an at-will state, you can be fired without reason. So if your boss doesn't like you, you lose your job, you go homeless and starve in the streets and probably end up being stabbed by someone while you're sleeping under a bridge.

This is a totalitarian system that's been accepted through normalized insanity. We talk so much on preventing tyranny from the government but we just allow corporations to control our lives in practically everyway you can think of. No freedom of speech, always walking on eggshells, don't piss off your boss or you might literally die as a future consequence.

About 55-60% of CS graduates that graduated in 2023 and above are full-time employed six months after graduation

I don't know if this graph excludes underemployment (like working full time at McDonald's) since there's a paywall for the article, but it seems that CS is about the same as other college majors in terms of employability for today's job market. But this graph does seem consistent with past sources where the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows that roughly around 45-50% of recent college graduates are underemployed and unemployed. So basically it seems that if you want a job in CS then you have to be in the lower 60th percentile at minimum.

How is the job market in this field when compared to other occupations?

I know the job market is pretty bad in general, but how is the job market doing in comparison to other jobs? To what degree is it better or worse?

Why are layoffs happening? Why is the job market significantly worse when compared to 5-10 years ago? Is there hope that it will eventually return to what it was before?

I must know why

I wish society would tell the youth the reality on succeeding

"Work hard and you'll succeed" "Believe in yourself" "You can do anything you set your mind to"

Simply not always true. Some kids are born innately gifted and/or in environmental circumstances that get them far ahead of other kids. We're teaching our kids fair concepts that cannot always apply in an unfair reality. Not everyone has the capacity to accomplish things that only a few can accomplish.

It's why I can't take motivational speakers seriously, it's disingenuous to those who work hard and have the desire to succeed but success is genuinely impossible to them, not just the illusion of it being impossible. And yet society just keeps repeating these slogans as if it applies true to every child in the world.

How the fuck do people study without procrastination or distractions?

I don't know if I just have ADHD, but I wonder how the fuck do non-ADHD people do it? I can focus on playing video games for like an hour or two but I consistently struggle even getting 20 minutes into studying.

I know you may suggest the pomodoro technique or whatever it may be but absolutely nothing works for me. Is studying simply that easy for non-ADHD people, they can say "I'm going to study for 3 hours" and actually commit to it with little to no struggle??

What would you say the acceptance rate of applicants would be (unless they're not hiring at the moment)? What would it take to get a job at this company?
