Remember when tech workers dreamed of working for a big company for a few years, before striking out on their own to start their own company that would knock that tech giant over?

Then that dream shrank to: work for a giant for a few years, quit, do a fake startup, get acqui-hired by your old employer, as a complicated way of getting a bonus and a promotion.

Then the dream shrank further: work for a tech giant for your whole life, get free kombucha and massages on Wednesdays.

And now, the dream is over. All that’s left is: work for a tech giant until they fire your ass, like those 12,000 Googlers who got fired six months after a stock buyback that would have paid their salaries for the next 27 years.

We deserve better than this. We can get it.

    You should really link your biography at the bottom of all your posts if you wants to call people stupid for not knowing your life story. I don’t know who you are; I don’t really care. You said something stupid so I replied as if I was talking to a stupid person who couldn’t do anything more than pull weeds for $20, and my opinion of you hasn’t changed.

    Have a nice life.

      I called your post “stellar.”

      And my point is that you’re wrong.
