laying off 1250 people and forcing everyone who didnt get laid off to make a post "offering support" doesnt make it better that you failed to plan appropriately and view your employees as dispensable when the going gets rough.

Dont buy into the propaganda these tech firms are putting out. And dont be that person with stockholm syndrome thanking your employer for a "great experience" when they threw you to the wolves as soon as it suited them.

Does anyone actually believe those BS PR statements? It’s a convenient time to trim the fat from COVID over hiring so firms are taking advantage. This was the plan all along

That’s why having loyalty to a company is dumb, they won’t hesitate to let you go when it’s convenient. Be loyal to your mentors and your staff that have helped you along the way instead

Survey says... "Another year of record profits after firing 10K employees means... our society gives zero fucks! We will continue to buy the product, they will continue to hire/fire at will!"

But... But.... Employees are dispensable.

💯 this!!!!

Some student told me he brushed his teeth.

So what did I do?

I gave him a job.

Because that’s what heroes deserve.

Sure, it was an unpaid internship that lasted a week, but hey - now I’m a hero, too.

When I fired that intern (since all he did was brush all day), I told him that Colgate max white is pretty good.

And he left with tears.
Tears of joy (I think).

Agree?

Got an offer at Korean arm of a Big4 firm. They claim it's standard to offer a 1-year contract (indeed, every other office job I've had in Korea is a 1-year contract, but I've never been consultant). Korea also has robust employee protection and laws are different - you can't get fired after 3 months.

For anyone hired by a Korean firm, is this also normal for firms? I talked to friends stateside who told me to be wary since it's not "regular" status. Trying to verify ppl's experience.

Recently accepted an offer at Twitter (I haven’t resigned yet thankfully) and of course have yet to hear back since the news of the layoffs.

Am I crazy to move forward if the offer isn’t rescinded? I’m deflated after many rejections, unhappy in my current role and the role is something I’m passionate about - I’m also no better off in terms of TC and frustrated since there will be no RSU package due to the acquisition.

I have very mixed feelings after how they treated their staff this week!
