so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons. Anybody need a writer or editor with: - 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software - One published short fiction anthology (as editor) - A master&#39;s degree in sociolinguistics - A knack for learning new content management systems - A love of working with invested SMEs - A basic understanding of web dev - Strong boundaries - An aversion to generative AI? Prioritizing remote work in Canada. #GetFediHired

@WizardOfDocs Try following @gMoon. They post lists of jobs in Canada that they come across, many of which are remote.

@WizardOfDocs for some reason my employer recommends using generative AI to prepare quarterly performance reviews ... I know they are using AI to summarize them so yeah

@WizardOfDocs just catching some timeline things that slipped by the past few days - sorry to hear about the layoff. This unemployment jungle is getting crowded ... 😩 Boosted ya on the TL, hope there's some fedi hiring traction!
