  • Yep. I live in one of the “post salary or GTFO” states, and lead with that. Anyone who can’t respond with a straight answer isn’t worth dealing with and is told why.

    I go through them every couple of days and have a text file with canned responses.

    • Thanks for reaching out. Before we proceed further, will you please provide a full job description, salary range, name of your client, and length of the contract?
    • Sorry - (DETAIL) falls outside/below my current expectations. Have a good day, and good luck!

    Bingo. Enshittification is mostly confined to companies that have gone public or whose sole aspiration is to do so quickly.

    It shifts responsibility from satisfying customers/users to satisfying shareholders (who are never satisfied).

    You can build the perfect product and ride a gravy train as a private company in relative perpetuity. As a corporation, you’re just going to strive for perpetually increasing profits on a quarterly basis with no real care or focus past that
