Tweeps are just hanging out in Slack saying nice things to each other until their access is cut off. I’ve never seen anything like it. Some really incredible people leaving Twitter tonight. We are all worse off without them there

Did you know that when a British person wants you to pour the tea, they say "will you be mother?" because I didn't and the first time it happened I was convinced I was in a haunted doll possession scenario.

Pointing out that your sound good, hustle-culture compatible tweet is not factually true, and is promoting toxic work culture prime for burn out is not getting mad.

You mean after you refused a direct order to keep other service members safe from a pandemic that could harm the army if left unchecked? Seems pretty selfish and un-patriotic to me, I don't think you should have receive any compensation.

Four day work weeks should be the norm. But no: even now, CEOs have to work multiple jobs to stay afloat.

Today, the global economic output (productivity) per person is 4.4 times larger than in 1950, even after accounting for inflation. Now, we produce more while working less.

At Xamarin I left every day at 5pm and I prioritized a healthy life/work balance - and hope I lead my people that way. I think that asking people to work extra hours just give you low quality output. And in the context of these layoffs is crass.

if i have a contentious software opinion, it's that you can build a great product on time without resorting to human sacrifice which doesn't sound that contentious, but wait until you tell a founder slash ceo that you're not a fan of sleep deprivation and unpaid overtime

new terf tactic: if they misgender you, ask what theirs is. when they reply, say “prove it.” dismiss everything they provide, anything they say. pressure them on proving it I’ve tried this multiple times and it always works

Does this mean, @jack, that you feel the specific ways in which the “company grew too fast” was in the form of teams like META (ethical AI), Human Rights, Curation (working to stop the flow of global election-related misinformation)? Curious as to your take.
