In other words, they be searching for new jobs.
Leopards/faces, etc. These people were fine with contributing their cogs to the evil machine that is facebook in exchange for a ridiculous salary, but now want it to be a big deal when it affects them more specifically.
Typical Divide and conquer - Stop demonizing people who work for a living - it’s no different than demonizing every single American because of US foreign policy. Blame those at the top making their greedy decisions and the puppet masters behind them.
Completely fucking wrong. People make the systems, and incentivize and even work for said systems that oppress, that doesnt make you free of responsibility in the least, quite the opposite. Americans are so afraid of personal responsibility its beyond insane.
You worship work culture so much you think its okay no matter what you do as long as you work, absolutely pathetic and disgusting
Oh yeah, lifestyle changes will totally change the system, just look how far green capitalism got us /s. As far as I can tell, personal responsibility and guilt is a tool used very successfully by the oppressive classes. It’s not progressive to point the finger at people who don’t have the luxury of hand picking an “ethical profession”-something I’d love to see an example of? Find better targets to be angry at bud.
Wrong. These people can’t handwave away their portion of responsibility for the current situation. They chose to lend their skills to a company with a long, well-documented track record of actions harmful to society. If you can get hired by one of the FAANG companies you could also get hired by nearly any company.
Not necessarily. There’s scores of people working for these companies that do content moderation, customer support and other jobs in this realm that are not quite as sought after and can’t easily switch jobs.
maybe the users should shoulder some of that blame. I get working to pay the bills, but their users have no excuse.
There is definitely mental illness happening here, just not from the LGBTQ+ members.
They are also moving to Texas if I read the story I saw right. I’d catch a mega case of gay to not move there or go back to work until I found a new job.
Moving to texas as a remote california tech worker is incredibly common, but it mostly comes down to not wanting to pay california taxes or real estate prices. That being said, it’s important to note that the majority of west coast tech workers give fuck all about the common good or societal improvements, or they wouldn’t work for facebook/google etc
That’s all right-wingers, though, isn’t it? Until life slaps them in the tits and all the horrible shit they champion affects them personally.
Very true, though I think in the early days of the Silicon Valley boom most tech workers were liberal democrats, whereas since tech finally became very measurably lucrative, it’s since been flooded by neocons and techno-libertarians
Hahahahahaha
Fuck’em
But the pendant in me points out that the company didn’t change an internal policy for what they consider mental illness, just now theyre allowing
hate speech“free* speech”Now I wonder if that would pass muster as a legal argument - meta doesn’t necessarily believe this as our policy, but we allow people to express their hate on this platform
The pedant in me points out that you misspelled “pedant”.
“Sorry, cough cough. I’m just feeling too gay to come into work today. It’s a bad case - I think it might be catching!”
Sad. No wonder Meta sucks. If the workers suck so does the company.
Oh brother…
