Bad news πŸ˜”πŸ’”

I am sad to announce today that unfortunately I will not be working with Privacy Guides anymore after the end of this month.

Good news! 🚨  

I will be available for a new position or contract, starting in April!

I am looking for a position or contact for:

✊ Digital rights activist (with a specialty in privacy rights)

πŸ”’ Privacy expert or consultant

 Fediverse and Mastodon advocate

πŸ™Œ Managerial position

πŸ“° Tech journalist

πŸ’» Technical writer

πŸ’š Or any other fitting positions

I am especially interested in working with nonprofit organisations, cooperatives, open-source projects, privacy-oriented software companies, or any other organisations working for the public good.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Remote from Canada

 All the work I produce is guaranteed to be AI-free

Let me know if you hear of any good opportunities!

@Em0nM4stodon it seems (at least to me) that it wasn't that long ago where you announced you were working for Privacy Guides. I wish companies kept their employees (or even contractors) around long-term rather than just let them go.

While I'm not hiring, I do post any leads that I see (with my latest one at https://aus.social/@gMoon/116179306536115730). Feel free to follow me, follow any of the hashtags I use, or even follow my profile via RSS (since I make those posts public).

Hopefully you can land a new position soon.

I hope you won't leave us entirely and wish you all the best in your new position, which is bound to be just around the corner. I don't doubt you'll be snapped up as soon as the word gets around!
Thank you and au revoir πŸ€—

That is very unfortunate. The new guide section on Activism that you created was filling a gap that often goes unnoticed.

Wish you a fulfilling new workplace.

Thank you πŸ’š I think so as well. I would have loved to be able to continue working on expanding this section in the coming months.

@Em0nM4stodon Oh, Em. I hope you are processing the news okay. Job losses can be very stressful, at a level few people realize until they've been through it themselves.

You've done spectacular work from what I've seen at Privacy Guides. The world definitely needs your skills and knowledge. Any organization would be lucky to have you.
