Just got the dreadful email from above

"[Entire org of thousands] should work from home tomorrow. More guidance to come tomorrow."

It's Wednesday, and they've been leaking hints about a layoff for weeks.

Here we go.

Tomorrow I'm guaranteed one of
* Layoff trauma
* Survivor guilt

Good times

Welp.

The dice rolled, and came up "survivor guilt"

But not for all of us, including a six year loadbearing team veteran who was out on the third week of a 30 day sabbatical.

@trochee sending good vibes so you are not among the affected
@trochee good luck to you and everyone. :(
@trochee fuuuuuck. Wishing you good luck : (
@trochee it’s a goddamn shame that it came out this week that Zuck is losing his job to an LLM.

@jonathankoren

Losing his *mind* maybe

The brainworms that think "this is productivity-shaped content" have spread down the org chart to the point where they're in earshot for me

These are strange days

@trochee I no longer run ā€œgit commitā€. It is official policy to tell an LLM to run ā€œgit commitā€, so that the commit is ā€œcoauthoredā€ by the LLM

In the words of Yakko and Wacko Warner…

@trochee Oof, that absolutely sucks. Good luck / I'm sorry.
