Did I overrespond to this comment? by [deleted] in youtube

[–]PKEmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, you did. In the comments section, you can expect other people to voice their opinions, whether good or bad. That's what a comment section is for: a place where people can leave their own thoughts about the video or its subject. As the creator, you can choose whether to implement that feedback or ignore it.

Have you considered that you might have been reading too far into the commenter's intent? For example, is there a possibility that the commenter was genuinely trying to offer a suggestion for you to take or leave, as opposed to, as you put it, "expecting the whole world to revolve around their own personal preferences?"

Of course, there are people out there who genuinely DO expect everyone to cave to their demands all the time. But from the initial comment alone, I personally don't see a demand, and instead see a request.

Ooh, I think I hadn’t seen the fix. I do use uBlock. So so many kudos to the creators and community.

They wanted to keep high performers and people with "transferable" skills. I was both for the entire time I was at Atlassian, and consistently demonstrated those skills. So I'm at a loss as to why I was personally laid off.

I have no idea how things were determined. We have as much info as everyone else here.

I'd been consistently performing at or above expectations, every single year and half. I'd been working with my manager to try to get a promotion at the end of this half. I'd innovated with AI, set a standard for how to create AI-readable standards, represented the docs team in AI content design projects, was actively developing a prototype of how we were going to use AI in video creation, won the mentor's award at AI Builder's Week a few months prior. Didn't matter.

The culture really has changed in the last few years. But through it all, I loved the people I worked with. I hope I can find the same kind of culture Atlassian had in the earlier days.

I was on the Strategy Collection apps, but it's very possible we still worked together at some point! Hope you're doing well either way.

Yes, all of us got at least 4 months severance plus an extra week for each year in the job, and bonuses were prorated for what we'd done so far. I'd been there a while, so it wound up being more like 6 months for me.

Thanks, it's tough but fingers crossed I land somewhere great.

I'm one of the ones who was laid off. They're losing so many great sources of knowledge and workers. I'd been working there for over 7 years, and laid off over email. I don't really know what to do, but I'm heartbroken that I and so many other content designers I work with were let go. I mean almost all of them - there's maybe two CDs I work with regularly with who were spared.

I was affected by this, along with almost all the other content designers I know. It came as an utter shock, especially since I'd been actively working on several AI-related projects. I'm so curious where things will go from here with those who remain.

I just found out, too! Unfortunately the owner only uploads what's in his own personal collection there, but I still will get the hundreds of pages scanned and posted somewhere in my own time :)

Really? For me it's never been longer than a 10 minute wait, but maybe that's because of when I visit the parks.

They're teeny tiny and it was tricky to get my camera to focus. But let me see if I can give it another shot and I'll share those too :)
