I continue to be furious about how layoffs work here in the US Like people just vanishing overnight from companies they worked at for years or decades. Little to no communication, just poof gone. Not to mention people just getting notice because, like, their badges and logins stop working

Like I feel there's a subtle assertion baked in that spreadsheets and documents and presentations and coding and language and art aren't Real Work that require thought and care and consideration and context

I do wonder if the backlash to LLMs is in part due to tech bros going 'hey, look at this computer that regurgitates absolute garbage, its gonna take your job because your job is basically making garbage all day'

When did 'oh Im gonna miss my turn, better find somewhere to turn around' become 'fuck it im just gonna drive where I want to go and hopefully nothing bad will happen'? Like did we collectively lose the ability? Do I just not notice the people who drive normally?

commiserating with former coworkers about how they're probably going to get laid off soon from said workplace and how private equity just hollows out a decent small company and turns everything to shit

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a classroom of young students are sitting at their desks. The teacher responds to a question from a crustacean sitting in the back row, “No… a Japanese spider crab can’t run for office.” Panel 2: the spider crab is hard at work, leafing through a pile of books in a dimly lit library. Panel 3: the spider crab stands proudly at a podium in front of a crowd; behind him is the American Flag. People in the crowd are excitedly cheering, video recording the crab on their phones, and holding a flag that reads: YES WE CRAB.
