Do you think the TikTok ban will actually follow through? It seems more final than it ever has before but I still can't get myself to believe it will go. What do you think?

I work for a company that works very closely with TT/Bytedance. The prevailing thought internally here is it will be blocked but temporarily. Trump will request a 90 day pause, and then being the business man he is, broker a divestiture / sale, and all will continue.

Ultimately, America loves nothing more than money and TT is essentially printing dollars right now so I cannot see them really doing away with it

I have to wonder just how much is this ban being pushed by a certain social media platform owner who happens to be playing shadow President at the moment? I don't agree with reasons behind this ban. They’ve already got our data. Years of it. It’s already being used against us. Meta Zuckerberg and Cambridge Analytica wrote the book on this. Crossing fingers that it won't go through.

It's shameful to do that after letting TikTok gained so many users in the US.

The arguments at the Supreme Court seemed to indicate that the ban would be enacted. But somehow I'm still skeptical. There's all this talk about various people buying it, but for some reason it just feels like something unexpected will happen.

The Supreme Court oral arguments seemed unfavorable for TikTok, with justices directing challenging questions at the app's legal representatives.

I heard they said they are going to shut down in the United States on October 19th regardless. I really hope there is some last minute game play to save it because I will admit, I will be kind of sad if we aren't able to access it anymore.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
