Does anyone actually care what this lady does in her free time over the past month or am I just an a$$hole? 🤔

We get it, you’re being super productive during your layoff. Meanwhile during my layoff, I got drunk and fell asleep on the couch with chip crumbs all over my chest and woke up at 2pm the next day and wondered where the hell I was.

Oh, all that but she didn’t mention gratuitous posting on LinkedIn. Where’s that paragraph?

But did her productivity motivate you to be a better person though?!? That is the question.

If I get laid off I am going to catch up on all that lost sleep/ clear the sleep debt that has accumulated from the crazy hours I work. Maybe I will wake up long enough to brag about THAT on LinkedIn.

I’ve been laid off for 7 months, i can’t sleep no more 😂

I think she is preparing for the interview question "What are you doing during the gap?"

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.

..all while the comments are filled with blind support

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
