The lesson to take from the big layoffs at Twitter and Facebook is this: "The job will never love you back." No matter how much effort you put in, no matter how clever you are, no matter how long you've committed yourself to $COMPANY, when push comes to shove, you're just a replaceable part in the machine.

Keep your weekends and your evenings. Leave your bugs at work. Your time is for you, and your boss won't send you flowers.

@jkohlmann Illinois, where I live, just ratified a state constitutional amendment reaffirming labor's right to organize and collectively bargain. #unionyes

@saramg @jkohlmann felt real good voting Yes on that one!

@drtifftaft @jkohlmann Could you even with those "No" campaigns though? There was one suggesting a Yes vote would mean more pedophiles. That's some serious desperation from the ani-union side.

@saramg @jkohlmann wow. I missed that ad. Unbelievable but not unbelievable

@drtifftaft @jkohlmann That one was so bad that even if I were anti-union, I'd have votes yes out of spite for such naked, unsubtle, crass manipulation.
