chaotic urge to talk about some of the things she has seen and experienced at private companies rising
I can't tell if it's attention seeking behavior, the call of the void, or just a desire for people to know how shitty some of these companies really are.
@aud Why not all of the above, she asked, and perhaps relating a bit too much.
@aud (Also, hot take, but attention seeking isn't a bad thing! Attention is a human need and can feel *wonderful* when it meets that need?)

@aud

We're all walking around keeping secrets about the catastrophic disasters we've seen on the inside of companies, because we're afraid that other companies won't hire us if we talk about them. If we all talked, a lot of those companies would just be gone.

It's a great example of how the structure can only exist because of the implicit threat of violence.

If any one of us does talk, then the violence becomes explicit, and they get destroyed as a warning to the rest of us. In this way, acts of individual defiance serve to reinforce the system, not challenge it.

@aud I wish I’d known beforehand how shitty my “dream company” was, as do the 13 years of my life I’ll never get back
