Not to say Reddit is good, but Blind is the most toxic community I’ve ever seen and it has a very strong filter for bitter employees.
I’d take the discussion there with a grain of salt, though I expect morale at Reddit is pretty terrible right now.
@abff08f4813c so “ex-FAANG” managers coming in for their CIA sabotage manual any% runs isn’t just happening at discord?
makes sense to me
Wow thanks for posting, what a read. I suspected average employees would not like what is going on.
I can relate, up until recently I was in a company whose product and decisions I strongly disliked and browsing r/antiwork like wild to cope. I was close to burnout due to the mismanagement and work heaped on me.
Until eventually something in me snapped and I went and found a better job. Is everything good here? God no, but my current manager is nice and my workload more manageable for now and I learned I have options if it grows unmanageable again, a lot of options actually.
So thanks for those who keep posting to move on as well, it‘s a bit repetitive and perhaps obvious, but useful nonetheless for those who don‘t see it yet.
Though if one loves the product and coworkers and work and the main shit thing is the management, maybe a union would be the more useful solution. It‘s a good way to influence some of these decisions, perhaps what makes my current employer better is the presence of a union.
That kind of work environment is unsurprising given he idolizes Musks Twitter. From what I have heard, in general Musks companies are known to be horrible to work for.
@abff08f4813c are they hoping to be fired by posting these comments on Reddit itself? Wouldn’t surprise me. What a shithole.
Blind is an app where people can sign up anonymously but have to verify they actually work at a company by registering their company email. In the app there is a company-internal community, and various Blind-global communities. You can see which company every person is from - so all these people have “Reddit” next to their names, meaning they validated with their Reddit company email and are current or former employees.
It’s a toxic cesspool. I have so many screencaptures of terrible Blind conversations. Wonderful to gawk at when I’m bored. Edit: I’ve captured some of my favorites at @BestofBlind .
What makes it toxic? Is it just full of people dunking on each other solely due to where they work?
Yes, that, as well as this weird culture to put your TC (total compensation - cash + stocks) at the end of your post so everyone knows how much money you make and people occasionally dunk on those who don’t make enough. There’s a large amount of sexism, racism, and transphobia floating around as well - just a byproduct of total anonymity. The only benefit is really the internal company discussions.
