Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I’ll never know, because I didn’t become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

Famous last words of a software engineer who ends up working in a warehouse.
Bro, maybe I don’t think you should have to eat shit either.
It was a topical joke revolving around the numerous rounds of tech layoffs since 2023, as well as the current state of industry hiring, which is pretty depressing and toxic if you’re a software engineer currently looking for work.
I’d do it for $800/h
I’ll do it for 800 a day…
Nah, it’s just a one-time wage, then you’re a slave
Statistically you’re far more likely to get laid off then he is.
I’m a software engineer who was recently laid off.
Oh I see. Well your anecdote completely debunks statistics that show people without degrees get laid off nearly three times as often as those that do. I kneel.
I’d sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.
Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.
Famous last words from someone before the warehouse isn’t there
The first Starlink-Amazon war destroyed many Amazon warehouses
You could probably make $800 doing game dev too. Maybe not with only one game, but $800 with game dev hobby sounds better to me than $800 to be a warehouse associate for an unknown amount of time…
The $800 is to be a game dev for their new release: warehouse associate.
