Well, they made an offer to John Oliver to become a mod.

Yeah, many users of hardwareswap were not thrilled to hear they’d be moving to Discord.

Company was bought by a VC group with no experience in the industry. They spent their resources in all the wrong places, leading to alienated employees with no morale. They were also behind on office rental payments.

We had no formal IT or standard laptop hardware or software. One team decided they were all done after their director left. The CEO decided that they were colluding and fired them all at once. Nobody else was cleared for that project’s SCIF, meaning nobody could contact the customer over secure channels. Additionally, their drives were encrypted with personal passwords that were never turned over as the employees had no proper exit process.

Between that and my team slowly leaving due to morale, they lost 2/3 of the few contracts they had, along with the technical expertise responsible for them.

I work in cybersecurity.

I picked computer engineering at the recommendation of my last math teacher in High School. I spent the majority of my childhood and teenage years playing with one form of technology or another, so I figured it made sense. I had a non-linear college career, but at the end of my 4+1 (accelerated grad school) I reconnected with one of my freshman roommates who graduated three years prior, got a job where he worked. That place fell apart after a venture capital group purchased it (seems to be a consistent story…) And ended up following one of my friends/former coworker to my current job.

The worst part to me is the people still on Reddit complaining about the blackout because “you can scroll past the ads”, which completely misses the point

I just checked and RIF is pulling posts. I’m not logged in but it’s pulling posts. Bizarre.

Sounds like you want to go back to your safe space among the snowflakes on /r/conservative
