tbh i’m happy I’m laid off and that i get to be on garden leave (Blind)
- oimn. (Walmart): I hear you. Enjoy the break. I’ve been dreaming of getting laid off for the last 2 years.
- kSYw92 (ex-Bloomberg): Yeah lol being laid off was the best thing to happen to me, free money, not having to deal with any toxicity anymore and endless career pivot opportunities. Been so much happier and healthier since.
- minioncito (Microsoft): I think the good thing out of all of this is getting desensitized to lay off. We compromised our health for our jobs. I haven’t been laid off but I got “Needs improvement” after working myself to death and driving cross org initiatives, all because my skip mandates his sign off for all prod changes and he takes forever to approve changes. So one project slipped.
It doesn’t matter if AI improves (Blind)
- pwdsales (Salesforce): So instead of your team learning how to use the new tools effectively you’re just not using them at all?
- Based.Dev (Microsoft): Opposite on my team, people just auto approve everything now.
- nihaowdy (Google): I hate people who say I am not sure I can trust AI output, how about you understand each step and argument while working with it instead of being a complete meatproxy? Your luddite team will get cooked anyways if they don’t change their ways.
Anthropic offer after Google offer rescinded (Blind)
- genzcovid (Deloitte): Welcome to F-U money club soon. Congrats! Just shows folks, not where you start but where you end up. Good timing.
- GayIsDaWay (NetApp): God I’m seeing what you are doing for others and I want it for me
- HfLk80 (DoorDash): Google rescinds offer? omg, sry to hear that OP
YouTube faces second class action lawsuit over ‘ad-free’ Premium claims & sponsored content (r/technology)
- coltraz: I have to use sponsorblock and ublock origin to use YouTube. 🤭
- SaintBellyache: I pay for premium and get recommended shorts that are clearly just ads
- whereismymind86: This feels…very stupid. I hate ads as much as anybody, but you are paying to remove youtube’s ads that are inserted into the videos as commercial breaks, not for youtube to go in and edit out sponsorships that are part of the video itself, and are done by the creator’s for their own purposes. Youtube already adds shortcuts to skip them too.
Why office workers are turning against AI (r/technology)
- compuwiza1: When you have to double-check everything it does, time is wasted.
- Master_Definition252: It’s making leadership even lazier, and now they think they can just ask random shit and expect us to respond at AI speed, and with no mistakes. Like, literally all I want to fucking do is my goddamn job without random metrics or other stuff being randomly added to it.
- Small_Dog_8699: Adds work, lowers wages, reduces job security, what’s no to love?
