here's an archived version from a nitter clone for those who do not have twitter
every time you think "that's awful. surely it can't get worse", good news: it gets worse!
the closest I get to thinking "a crash is good actually" is thinking that a company that cannot support remote work for someone who's also serving as a caregiver for elderly relatives deserves to fail
given the death of nitter is there a way to view this thread w/o being logged into twitter
some mirrors are still working for the moment: https://nitter.freedit.eu/NotSoLittleC/status/1755705709667180594#m
One of those 'the morally correct decision is to blow something the fuck up' moments.
maybe the most fucked part is that this all just sounds like regular corporate tech culture to me tbh. hr seems to often be a joke and there's a bunch of stuff in standard employment contracts that is straight up insane
My now ex-employer had me sign that I wouldn't sue them for violating the US or State of California's constitution for while I had worked there.
Good luck to them having that hold up in court, but it was an insane thing to read as the first two parts of my severance agreement.
Heartbreaking. Genuinely heartbreaking that it's fine to do that to someone. Lie to them, then throw them to the curb.
Like, yeah, read what you sign, get EVERYTHING in writing, never trust another soul above you in a corporation.... but fuck it's still so fucking enragingly heartbreaking that that's fine for everyone involved.
I did a Manual Unroll As A Single Post as well https://cohost.org/Turfster/post/4418346-cw-gross-blizzard-h
i didn't know a noncompete clause could just like. do that. feeling very Destroy Blizzard but also Destroy America
The depressing part is that I didn't get mad because I have heard this story so many times that I could predict every escalation he posted.
I fundamentally refuse to believe UK worker protections are that much worse than over here
When was the last time you guys actually voted for this government, and I am not talking about snap elections, like vote on a Prime Minister and their party agenda to form a government?
Having 3 lead executives in a 5 year span can't be healthy for government.
Labour will win the next election either later this year or early next, however it will be keir starmer who wins. He's the replacement for corbyn, put there because he's a right leaning wet towel who will bend to everything the press and the aristocracy demands. The conservatives will win the election 5 years after that.
I hope that by saying this you are aware just how bad things are in the US. Like. It is very, very bad here.
thank you for the mirror.
i can't believe how... normalized this shit is. like afaic, this is just how corpo shit is across the board. it's dehumanizing.
it was really funny (in the same way everything is funny) reading an article today that straight up said "fcc considiering banning one of wall st's favorite ways to control workers" (paraphrasing) -- namely, non-compete clauses
and re: dehumanizing, yeah. turns out "human resources" was a little too apt of a name
