Brian MacDonaldHey, folks. Big layoffs at DigitalOcean today, and my team and I were hit. In fact, so was my adjacent team, and a good chunk of my department. I don't have much reach here on Mastodon yet, but if anybody wants to discuss opportunities for a technical editor / writer / manager of same, I'm up for it.
Aria Burrell 🇨🇦@bmac sorry to hear. Also, oh goodie, thoughts on how fucked us DO users (incl. mastodon hosts) are in the wake of this?
@litui I'm not thrilled about the situation, but the company is still there, doing what it does. More than that, I'm constrained from saying.
@bmac yeah I figured as much, no worries. I wish you all the best in your job search and know those skills will be put to good use elsewhere (and that DO is harming only themselves by letting go of good talent).
@bmac btw, even if looking for remote, it might help to point out in your profile or posts at least what country you're based out of. We're often looking to hire/contract but subject to regulatory restrictions on country of residence and such.
