I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.
I get what you are saying, but say you have a family, any sort of large student loans, and rent to pay to live in a somewhat decent area, you kinda have to take what you can get these days… and they have designed a world for the working class where if you don’t take a job, you are potentially up a really bad creek.
It’s especially worse if you have someone in your family with any sort of medical fragility or if you are H1B and if you don’t find any job, you get deported or put into a camp where you are left to rot.
Blame republicans and neoliberal policies that helped build a world where this is allowed, and the giant companies who have the power and wealth NOT to do this to everyone… not the desperate workers just trying to get by with whatever was available and paid enough that they didn’t have to worry about making rent or paying for needed medical expenses.
I thought that way in the early 2000s when I was laid off from Microsoft. It was a blessing in disguise for me and opened up more doors that I never knew existed.
Anyone working for meta at this point knows what’s up and deserves no sympathy for their business bullshit

It’s much different world now, but I hope everyone who got laid off recently gets a better job.
