Idk why private equity is allowed to exist. I worked for a small software company where my boss and I were the only developers. This company absolutely printed money, to the point where the previous owner was constantly going out and buying new Ferraris and Porsches. He sold out to a private equity firm, and within the year they announced they were outsourcing us. We trained an entire team of developers from an Indian firm who were to be our replacements. They’re surely paying them just as much as they paid us two, except they lack the experience of the person that wrote the fucking application in the first place. I just received word today that some of their major clients are having crippling issues with our service.
Meanwhile I’ve applied to dozens if not hundreds of jobs and I’m still unemployed. I hate job hunting with a burning passion.
A few weeks ago I went with my GF I’ve been dating for about a year to this combo music/gun store just for the novelty of it. We share mostly the same politics but she said something to the effect of “If you bought a gun I might have to break up with you”
Thing is I already own a gun I’ve just never mentioned it. I didn’t bring it up at the time and idk how to broach the subject now or how she’ll react.
