Does mastodon limit post length? Is that a per- instance thing?
it’s a bit of a red flag when 160 employees see something as trivial as a trademark dispute to take the opportunity to go away with a severance package
Realistically, any company of decent size will have workers who are tired of the job and would voluntarily leave if they got paid for it.
There are other red flags in this case, but I don’t think this is one of them.
8% getting up and leaving is not an indicator of health
esp when Matt was chasing some of them after desperate to get them to un-resign lol
You’re were hired for a backend team. They started learning React as you joined.
Ye that is when you strike. Build a guillotine if necessary. The fuck.
The encouragement of a situation where you disconnect with those outside, the sleep deprivation, the drip of hints that you’re not meeting the standard, the trust in the great leader.
It also sounds corporate, yes.
11-month trial period
Jesus, fuck
yeah I read that and started thinking of the various ways it’s dependency-inducing
stopped after the first 4~5 big ones because that already really hurt to think about
In France it was standard for the 7 month trial period and that was just horrible. Just horrible. So many firings would happen within days of the period ending, the barrier between no warning required and a shit ton of notice and compensation. Political nightmare and 7 months of anxiety in the backstabbiest of tech workplaces I’ve seen
