Never heard anyone in IT risk or cyber describe their work as serving a higher purpose. You are serving the back office.

If the opposite of working is Netflix binging, then yes, work is right for him because he doesn't have an identity other than work. But that's just a sad statement about how empty he is and not anything supporting work being meaningful or a purpose to life.

Right? His lack of imagination and self awareness is alarming. Just because he has no family, friends, pets, hobbies, or involement with his community, he assumes that the rest of us are equally bereft of personality.

Imagine how suddenly empty his life becomes if (when?) he gets laid off as happens to many in the corporate world. AI will replace his job in 5 years but I’ll still have Netflix 🤷

Oh man. This guy may change his tune if he is laid off or retires. His company won’t care about his “higher purpose” at some point, and he’ll have to figure that out on the outside. It can be hard to mimic that sense of importance after retirement, if you’re not grounded on the outside already. I wish him well.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)

This is the very definition of privilege

Able to post something so absurdly wrong (Google PMs in the comments explaining that she transferred ladders when she switched jobs internally, hence pay change)

Able to become a product manager at Google and STILL not comprehend how misleading the race aggregation stat is “Black women make 58 cents to every $1 a white man makes!” not taking into account job choice and individual opportunity.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
