FYI, this is old news. Layoffs have happened
If microsoft stopped producing anything today, they would still make billions per year for many years
Oh no...
Anyway
Oh, fuck you.
People need an income, and they work hard to provide for their families.
Tech employees are people, too. And many of them spent years perfecting a very difficult set of skills that the market is quickly deciding isn’t as valuable as it once was, because their corporate employers regard them merely as resources to be exploited and then discarded at the first opportunity. That sucks.
It sucks whomever it happens to, be it warehouse workers, truck drivers, call center employees, retail and customer service employees, or office knowledge workers. Just because a person had made a pretty good salary doesn’t mean they haven’t still be exchanging their precious time for dollars like the rest of us, grinding away their life at a job rather than spending quality time with their loved ones and persuing their own hobbies and interests.
Seriously, fuck you dude.
Don't worry, that guy probably doesn't know what a real career is about anyways for this to know how impactful it is.
Tech employees are people, too.
So were SS officials, ICE agents and US cops, people who work in weapons' manufacturing, etc...
Fuck you right back.
That's your response? Do us all a favor and don't come back.
You think they guy who writes code to make Xbox games work, or the woman who does data analytics in R and Excel to optimize cloud hosting traffic shaping rules (or whatever), is the same as ICE and the SS?!
Jesus Christ. Climb out from under your rock and go meet some real people doing real things, and do some real things of value yourself. Maybe learn how to make something with tech. Maybe learn a little bit of code, I don’t know.
I work in tech. I am not rounding up my Hispanic neighbors for ICE, nor am I building spyware infrastructure for Palantir. I write code to help doctors and nurses do their jobs more effectively and efficiently. But fuck me I guess for trying to earn a living by providing some value. And fuck Microsoft employees for writing code to allow people to play video games or whatever.
Holy shit you morons are coming out of the woodwork this week.
0x0 must be for 0 compassion and 0 IQ.
