Did I get laid off or did I just get fired? (Blind)

• kraxoos (Microsoft): Seems to be happening across the industry. You’re just your managers least favorite, or the easiest to let go. Maybe you’re the only one without kids with no house no bills or aren’t on a visa, etc
• VeCq77 (Salesforce): Fired vs. Laid off - same damn thing.
• VsEA07 (Capital One): Go to HR immediately. Same thing happened to me in 2024 and I was able to negotiate a severance package that carried me to the next vest.

Wife forcing me back to work (Blind)

• Bl!ndB!ind (Amazon): Why not just divorce and find a younger and better model?
• 🌼 lav (Meta): Why in social media they keep carping about men being provider and protector? On blind, at least all want to steal from women or be women. Media is so out of touch with reality. Women should stop having children, it is extremely difficult and life altering, if they have to do it alone anyways then might as well not do it at all.
• slackerswe (Microsoft): Would the reverse be okay? If so I don’t see why current situation isn’t

I’m seriously burnt out but my husband is forcing me back to work (Blind)

• pissedoff2 (Instacart): Sorry, total equality.
• BabaBizzle (Amazon): Remember that everybody in this industry burns out. And every time your husband gets frustrated or pissed off at work and thinks about how great it would be for a break or a change, the pressure of your entire household depending solely on him multiplies the frustration. You had your break, you don’t need to go back to what you were doing or even work in the same sector, but he’s now told you that he doesn’t want to be the sole source. I take that as meaning he’s starting to feel pressure and it will begin to feel like being trapped. Those same anxieties you experienced can/will soon set in with him as well. Talk it through with him. Look for low pressure work even if it pays 1/2 of what you used to make. Or look for consulting / contract work.
• WorthIt? (Amazon): Check your iron levels - ferritin. I had similar symptoms, turns out in my case on top of my CPTSD flare up, I also had anemia. Low iron can cause psychiatric symptoms.

Meta confiscates social media handles of legendary rock band Muse, so they can be given to their own AI product. (r/technology)

• Dr_Element: This is a big PR opportunity for muse. Their music is full of criticism of mass surveillance and powerful actors and they recently released what may be their best album in 20 years.
• Mammoth_Loan_984: Oh boy muse are going to hate this
• nine57th: META is nothing but a bunch of Tools from the top on down. They should just change their name to TOOL. And they can confiscate another band’s name too in the process.

LG strongly denies TV security claims, says tracking and snooping concerns ’not true’ (r/tomshardware)

• Potential-Ant-4335: of all the possible responses, this is probably the craziest one they could have come back with
• Vampyre_Boy: The jump from their hardware diagnostic tools like in their washing machines to spying devices is a VERY small one that would only require cameras and microphones so I don’t doubt that they used their televisions to grab info to sell. The only loss in the idea is if they get caught and I guess their plan for that is deny deny deny …..
• WhataNoobUser: The only way this could be true is if there is some disconnect between leadership and the software team
