It’s easy these days to find a community that share your interests and sensibilities... and the flipside of that is those with no self-awareness have plenty of echo-chambers to enable them.

yep, sounds about right. for 20 years the internet was a cesspool of racism and misogyny and now that everyone is online the hosts now have a financial reason to keep this shit off their servers. As soimeone who grew up with that shit being “cool and edgy” good fucking riddance to that shit.

Way too many nerds (i.e. more than 10, we’ll go with that) have become way too comfortable with being the cringiest, greasiest, most odious pillow-fuckers imaginable.

This is sociopathy and sociopaths. The structure of the modern world and its ‘economy’ both rewards and incentivizes them and their behavior, which should come as no surprise, given that sociopaths are the ones controlling society and writing its laws. Built by and for sociopaths. What we’re seeing is the perfectly…

I want to meet the people who come up with systems like this. Seriously.

If you can keep the workers fighting amongst each other, they can’t gang up against ownership.

but are the actual shitty workers getting called out? or they don’t get picked because they’re friends with so and so all buddybuddy 

‘If everybody is hitting the work quota, nobody is hitting the work quota.’

I just realised they have a Showcase in a few days that’s why they’ve done the layoffs now. After the showcase no one will talk about it.

“We’re having trouble getting our big games out on time. What should we do?”

Maybe the CEO should take a bit of a pay cut. Bet that would more than cover it. We’re never going to see Elder Scrolls 6 at this rate.

Phil Spencer is generally seen as one of the better leaders of a game company, at least in terms of personability and actual knowledge when it comes to games. He’s someone that at least tries to be relatable. But being the best of a group of scumbags is a low bar to rise to.

Ok, Phil Spencer. 

I imagine Phil is super hurt while he rolls around in his bonus money.

And how is Microsoft going to do that when they make billions in profits each year, bootlicker? Don’t bother answering, unless you can’t see the obvious.

This is a challenging moment in our business, and this week’s actions were painful choices.

I see we have a pro-corporate bot here. That didn’t take long.

Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, has a net worth of approximately $350M.  He could give $30k to every employee he fired and still have $50M left over, enough that he’s still rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Oh so painful, probably didn’t get a paycut either to save those jobs.
