In the last five years, we've gone from "employees will never have to go into an office" to "employees need to be in the office because creative and innovative work can only be done face-to-face between humans" to "lol we don't need humans"
Anyway, the refactoring projects after this phase are going to be hell
@quillmatiq And by "Hell", I hope you mean "Quite Lucrative"
@ohmrun @quillmatiq to which I may also point out: hey, wouldn't this be a great time to unionize and/or form a guild? So that when they need to hire for the refactoring projects, they're working against a unified labor force instead of one they can cast off as easily?
@aud @quillmatiq Rich people can afford historians that know about the stone masons.
What do you do?
@ohmrun @quillmatiq well, you certainly don't discuss strategy in public before the unionization/guild forming even happens ; )
@aud @quillmatiq Look at AI, they'll hire you to manage it and fire *you* when *it* goes wrong.
I'm happy to scrape twigs together at this point.
@ohmrun @quillmatiq I'm aware. Are you suggesting that's a reason people should not organize...?
@aud @quillmatiq I'm super fucking organised and about ready to die, where are all you cunts?
@aud Alright, I'm blocking @ohmrun. I apologize if that means you can't respond, but I don't appreciate their tone in my replies.
@quillmatiq Doing the same thing. Tone is weird and they seem to be encouraging people to talk about things in the open, which... not a wise idea.
@aud Yup. Red flags *everywhere*. Appreciate you trying to keep the conversation productive.

@aud @quillmatiq yeah wow that was a very rapid mask-off

Bet looking into their posting history will be quite telling!

(e: lol and I just saw they came in hard on the tail end with an alt to pout, because of course they did)
