Actively making the world's attention spans, media and politics worse is one thing. But making me walk five minutes across a carpark to work? That's a bridge too far folks.
>My friends, you don't have to put up with this. You are in high demand. It is possible to "go back in time". Go seek your fortune on the open market. It's worth it.
....
This might be the most bizarre sentence I’ve read all week. The privilege required to say this is absolutely astounding. I was at the campus in question a few months ago and did not get an offer. Am I just excluded from these conversations? Besides, it’s not like OP is including my current employer, which is orders of magnitude bigger in employee counts and significantly more frugal.
Seems at least from social media discussion that people are less inclined to seek their fortune on the 'open market' nowadays, since Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft are paying so much, and startup equity has become even more of a gamble than usual given that companies are taking 10 years to IPO.
I flagged this because it's short and missing a lot of context. I'm sure there's something meaningful to be said about rideshare companies (I'm not even sure that's the main subject here), but I really have no idea what the author is going for.
It is Facebook. They've had congestion problems for a while now and she worked there until recently. Really annoying when writers do this kind of tiptoeing around a name. It's disrespectful to readers and accomplishes nothing.
Yeah, I agree. For such petty first world complaints especially - idk how long OPs tenure was but considering stock appreciation and how quickly they can get promoted she was probably pulling down $350k+ yearly and that’s being conservative. Like OP could buy a house - at my company I won’t be able to afford one for decades.
