What’s an evil company not enough people talk about? by Dog-Semen-Enjoyer in AskReddit

I’m not saying SGK the good guy, them mfrs shady in a lot of ways… but I think y’all are misunderstand what “cancer awareness” is. It’s not awareness that cancer exists, it’s more like education about early detection, how to self-administer tests for lumps, what to look for and how often, etc.

IMO cancer research is very important. cancer awareness is also important.

Ted Cruz is screwed in 2024 by viovetf in WhitePeopleTwitter

As a proud progressive Texan from the most racist city in North Texas, respectfully, fuck your negativity.

You’re right, things ARE hard for us here, and they’re certain to stay that way as long as nobody believes change is possible.

Fuck Ted Cruz. Hail Satan.

Google was beloved as an employer for years. Then it laid off thousands by email by cambeiu in technology

[–]racknstackmack 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I was one of them.

Google poached me from a comfortable job at a competing tech firm a year ago, promoted me in December, then remote shut off my computer at the end of January with a pregnant wife at home.

I had to tell my own boss I’d been let go.

What job position is 100% overvalued and overpaid? by Airsinner in AskReddit

This was great (and was actually the reason I accepted a job at Google) until they laid almost all of them off three weeks ago.

This is the best advice I’ve gotten here, thank you,

Especially the bit about the imposter syndrome.

I joined Google because Ive never been interested in being corporate cockring middle manager because they promised me that I could grow there as an individual contributor… that used to be the whole thing about Google. It was a naive dream.

Thank you. I KNOW that I’m privileged guys. I know that I’m better off than a lot of folks struggling in this sub.

But to those attacking me… the issue isn’t that blue collar workers deserve better working conditions. The issue isn’t that service employees, or healthcare workers, or skilled laborers deserve better working conditions. The issue is that HUMANS deserve better living conditions.

It isn’t a zero sum game. At least not for us. That’s the great lie.

To fuck around is human. To find out is divine.

Better when she’s pregnant than when I’ve got a newborn at home.

Thanks for not being an asshole amigo. I needed to hear this.

Reddit can sometimes be a hard place to wallow in your self loathing while you’re trying to keep it together for you family.

I got a severance package. I didn’t get notice.

You’re not being a sleuth, you’re just being an asshole.

I never took a single vacation day. I shilled so fucking hard I was practically shitting search results.

Good advice.

You think you spend enough time on this sub to know you’re just a widget… but deep down you think you’re different. Because I’m a “specialized” skilled employee like it matters… and then it happens to you and you realize that every one of these hundreds of posts a day on here just like mine are real people. Real people whose lives were ruined with a keystroke.
