I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply
other rules
Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Indian outsourcing is going to be wiped out by AI, the brainless grunt work that they do can be entirely replaced by it

Honestly the stuff I give to AI and the stuff I give to offshore teams are almost identical at this point. It's kind of crazy
Anything with a well defined spec that just needs to be procedurally implemented gets handed off. Anything that involves critical thinking stays internal

I used to have a really good offshore team, but I think their work got outsourced to some lower caste of jeet because the new team does shittier work and their handoff documentation is way less legible.

This is going to be a disaster. It always is

This is just the standard business cycle made by c level execs positioning themselves for a CEO role at another company.
Today's exec: I drove initiatives that cut costs by utilizing global talent pools to fill the strategic needs of the company (cheap butt developers in India)
Exec 5 years from now: I increased deliverables and efficiencies by developing inhouse resources and technical assets that are better connected, not spread out among various business units (Fired all the jeets and brought shit back)
Repeat ad infinitum
Note, neither of those are meant to improve anything. If that happens, it's a happy accident. They exist purely for execs to put their name on some big initiative so they can secure the bag and get the frick out.

Lots of cope and sneed in the comments.
I have good news and bad news.
The good news is that India is going to be the largest supply of mass cheap labor for America ever.
The bad news is that once Indian labor dries up in 30 years time, the US will never again get a wave of labor supply as big ever again from any part of the world.

Demographically, it will be from Africa. Right now they lack the infrastructure to produce skilled labor in large numbers. But if its needed, the capital class could make it happen pretty easily. So if it doesnt happen, its only because they didnt need it despite whatever they claim publicly.
