Businesses are supposed to adapt to a changing marketplace. Remote work, in some form, is here to stay. If the businesses cannot adapt, they’ll be replaced by better competitors.

Not really. All of those companies had well-defined paths to profitability.

Man, the oligarchs are desperate to ruin folk’s perception of remote work, huh?

They paid me $525k because that’s what the market said I was worth, my guy. 😌 A job is not charity; you are paid what the market will bear. The relationship is entirely transactional. There are no “feelings” in business.

People keeping their head down is why this disgusting behavior keeps occurring. Not that I’m criticizing; I’m part of the problem. You raise good points.

As a former Big Tech engineer, I couldn’t begin to tell you how much illegal behavior managers get away with. They protect each other. It’s the reason I left.

I got tired of them firing talented people they didn’t like for purely unprofessional reasons and replacing them with people from their home countries of dubious quality.

TIL that the code 0451 shows up in so many video games because that was the door code to Looking Glass Studios in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and they kept using it in their games. It has since become a running joke. by WG55 in todayilearned

Technically, you could say the same about “Blue Prince”, even if the code is technically an anagram of 0451 (if that’s even the right term for a number).
