I would rather eat dust and sleep under a bridge than work for this fascist collaborator
I think we can drop the 'collaborator' by now.
I'd bet anything the $50,000/month paycheck would have you gargling in no time.
Nope. I'm not motivated by material stuff
Beatings will continue until morale improves.
Happy Happy JOY JOY!
“It’s really really distressing to me to see the consequences of my greedy and sociopathic actions, I order you all to stop making me feel things and act happy around me!”
Dear Sheep, you should relax. The slaughtering of your brethren has ended. There will be no more slaughtering this quarter. So you have nothing to worry about. Just relax, tension ruins the meat.
Yes my Lord. Of course my Lord, we shall laugh more. No my lord, I am not scared of you.
Make comedy legal agaaaaaaaain!
Do what I want, slaves.
This article is pretty bad, even as sensational articles go. Scheduling an AI Hackathon isn't really the same as ordering people to have fun, plus they calceled it after a bunch of people said they couldn't participate.
Depends on internal messaging. I've been at places where all the non-techie people are cheerleading for the "hackathon" - and then start doing nearly everything possible to make what is already a kind of "forced fun" activity very, very, very unfun.
Like dictating all the terms, expected outcomes, what is in-bounds to work on (often just chosen tech debt items, lol) and then, making it a fucking contest on top of that.
But everyone is expected to plaster on big, shit-eating grins and have "fun" because we were "allowed" to "hack" on "fun" projects.
I agree with that, having access to that internal messaging would add weight and validity to this story. I'm just upset because I like collecting more reasons to clown on Zuck and Meta but this isnt't substantive enough. Some places do make hackathons shitty, I haven't looked forward to one since college.
Be more happy when you shit in A plastic bag and piss in A bottle while watching your co worker die on the floor next to you.
